    No, because he was never found guilty of anything, or charged with anything. Pardons before a conviction are somewhat different than pardons after a conviction in that the state never established the facts. There's also a difference between blanket pardons and specific pardons. As I referenced in a peer reply. > “[A pardon] carries an imputation of guilt; acceptance a confession of it." This is the referenced case. [1] https://www.law.cornell.edu/supremecourt/text/236/79 https://www.law.cornell.edu/supremecourt/text/236/79
