Was he still in prison, or was this just a records thing?
No, his sentence was only a couple of years, and President Bush did commute that. But I always thought he should have been given a full pardon, and now it has happened, although very, very late.
Was wondering the same thing. I suppose the follow up question is, what other disadvantages did he continue to carry due to the conviction: voting rights, security clearances, gun ownership, holding public office, etc.
