I thought the idea with Turing's pardon was that pardoning him implies that he did something wrong which is clearly not the case. What do you think about this argument?
- Wingman4l7 14y agoThere is that implication as well. There is also the implication (Turing again being used as the example) that only a famous person who contributed greatly to society is worthy of "forgiveness", and the government doesn't need to bother acknowledging that other "regular people" harmed under the same unjust law.
