Carries an imputation of guilt; acceptance a confession of it' If Byrd accepts the presidential pardon, it is a direct confession of his guilt, regardless of any existing judgments issued by kangaroo courts. 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
