BUT, The felony is still on his record negating owning firearms or voting . The conviction has to be EXPUNGED from his record and Christie will not do that being the Obama in a white suit he is .
and perhaps that is good....let the gun advocacy groups get this before the high courts and let them make NJ pay for its tyrant ways.
Get a grip, you don't know that.
The lawyer deliberately didn’t ask for a pardon as they are still appealing the decision, but rather clemency which is way easier to get. He wanted to get him home for Christmas per the article. So yes it’s still on his record for now.
Also with clemency, if they win the appeal it sets precedent for future cases so that the next guy doesn’t get screwed like this.
The worst part is he was within his rights according to Jersey law. The judge just chose to ignore the law in the courtroom, and refused to make the law known to the jury even after repeated requests. This is an issue of corruption, not the law.
