Interesting.

I thought Dr Mudd was pardoned a long time before Reagan.

Some people claimed that Dr. Mudd had no personal knowledge of John Wilkes Booth or what he had done at Ford's Theatre.

What was Reagan's reason for refusing a pardon?

To be honest, I'm not sure. But you know how Reagan was. Carter? Why'd he not only pardoned the fella, he'd had pardoned Booth himself too.

"Some people claimed that Dr. Mudd had no personal knowledge of John Wilkes Booth or what he had done at Ford's Theatre. "

In actuality, Dr. Mudd had met Booth 2-3 times prior to the assassination.
