Original Note:
This is missing important context. Leo Frank's pardon wasn't for his guilt in Mary Phagan's murder but for the miscarriage of justice from his lynching. His pardon was about addressing his wrongful execution, not proving his innocence. https://www.leofrank.org/30-years-later-the-no-pardon-pardon-of-leo-frank/ https://www.nytimes.com/1986/03/12/us/georgia-pardons-victim-70-years-after-lynching.html
