Original Note:
NNN 1) Post is factually correct. Byrd did shoot and kill Ashli Babbit. No claims about guilt are made by OP. 2) Burdick v. US 236 U.S. 79 (1915) - 'A Pardon.. Carries an imputation of guilt; acceptance a confession of it' If Byrd accepts the pardon, he is guilty. https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/236/79/ https://tile.loc.gov/storage-services/service/ll/usrep/usrep236/usrep236079/usrep236079.pdf https://caselaw.findlaw.com/court/us-supreme-court/236/79.html https://www.casemine.com/commentary/us/effective-exercise-of-presidential-pardoning-power:-insights-from-burdick-v.-united-states/view
