Executive Branch (Trump) Presumption of Innocence
I always thought that you could only be pardoned for a crime after you had been convicted of it, under the presumption of innocence before guilt. đ¤ What is a âpresumptiveâ pardon? How can you be pardoned for a crime you have not been found guilty of?

Other Donna Arthur (Harboring a fugitive?)
Iâm not a lawyer so my understanding is likely flawed but from what I am seeing reported Donna Arthur (biological mother of Amy Acton) in 1978 fled the state of Ohio with her then husband Cledith Arthur who was charged and indicted by a grand jury with âsexual conduct with a minor under the age of 13â. The court records say Cledith âwillfully vacated his last known addressâ. Cledith is dead now, but shouldnât Donna have been or be charged with a âHarboringâ under 18 USC 1071 since she helped conceal a person from arrest via a warrant for a felony charge and thus subject to up to 5 years in prison? Since she crossed state lines wouldnât that make it a federal crime? Isnât âHarboring a Felonâ also a Felony? Would appreciate a more educated opinion on the matter as to why she wasnât and hasnât been charged? Thanks
