"A U.S. district judge may refuse to rescind Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s conviction for ignoring a court order, despite President Donald Trump’s pardon, according to a Thursday filing."

I posted the summary and link for Federal Judges too.
That issue goes beyond this case. I believe Federal courts typically do not require jury trials for what they describe as “petty” offenses — which are legally defined as offenses that have a maximum sentence of six months in jail. That’s why Arpaio’s sentence in his case was going to be six months at most.
You left out, no soul. But I suppose that that is a given with a Democrat.
You are right. Zombies do have standards. They may be low , but they are still standards.
“A pardon is a government decision to allow a person who has been convicted of a crime to be free and absolved of that conviction, as if they were never convicted.”

That’s exactly the correct response.
She’s unqualified to be a judge if she doesn’t know what a pardon is.
thank you for that clarification.
>>It would be their job, but since we don’t have one.......

I used to think he was hiding, as in, Where’s Waldo?.
But he’s made so many overtly wrong actions and inactions, now I realize he works for the other team, and is COMPLICIT.
Yep. She was born with a soul but it was sold to Satan.
The conviction is irrelevant now. Trump’s Presidential pardon took care of that.
Federal marshals should arrest this Susan Bolton broad and throw her fat a$$ in jail.
Did she actually pass the bar?
How did this moron ever get a job?
If the pardon prevents Sheriff Joe from appealing the conviction (by rendering it moot), then it prevents her from retaining it.
I would say that proves beyond any doubt that it was a ‘Political Hatchet Job’.
How about the signature of President Donald J. Trump?!!!! You effin dufus!
She tries something like Joe might have both a civil rights violation and ethics charge against the judge.
Conservatives need to counter-attack when liberals pull shit like this.
Sheriff Arpaio wants his record expunged. A pardon alone does not expunge convictions.
“While a presidential pardon will restore various rights lost as a result of the pardoned offense and should lessen to some extent the stigma arising from a conviction, it will not erase or expunge the record of your conviction. Therefore, even if you are granted a pardon, you must still disclose your conviction on any form where such information is required, although you may also disclose the fact that you received a pardon. In addition, most civil disabilities attendant upon a federal felony conviction, such as loss of the right to vote and hold state public office, are imposed by state rather than federal law, and also may be removed by state action. Because the federal pardon process is exacting and may be more time-consuming than analogous state procedures, you may wish to consult with the appropriate authorities in the state of your residence regarding the procedures for restoring your state civil rights.”
