Pardon of a Drug Offense, What do you think?

Jim Marshall pardoned on cocaine conviction...

If people "pay their debt to society" and lead a clean life, it seems to me that they "should" have their good name restored, at least officially. We all know that, unofficially, this type of thing always hangs over a person's head.

I can't help but wonder if a more annonymous person would have had the resources, monetary or social, to get a pardon.

I don't know about Jim Marshall's religious life. But I do know that Jesus always offers us a pardon, even without the good works.
