He didn’t get a pardon, his sentence was commuted. That means they ended it early, but he’s still guilty of the crime.
Do you suppose this distinction makes any appreciable difference?
Depends on where he lives and what he wants to do. He’s still a felon and in some states it affects your right to vote, right to own a gun, receive government assistance, etc.
If he was working class, it definitely would, but for him? Probably not.
