And as a follow on, if the president pardons someone for a crime can those harmed by it still sue the perpetrator for damages in a civil case?

- DoughnutHole 2y agoYes absolutely. Being found not guilty of a crime or being pardoned has no bearing on the evidence that exists which is presented in a separate civil case against you. There’s no double jeopardy in a civil case - it’s a matter of if someone has a claim of damages.
