Bolton and Circuit Court

u.s: Bolton said pardons don't erase convictions or the facts of cases, according to The Chronicle Herald. She said the pardon issued by President Donald Trump only mooted Arpaio's possible punishments. The request denied Thursday by U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton was aimed at clearing Arpaio's name and barring the ruling's use in future court cases as an example of a prior bad act. The pardon undoubtedly spared defendant from any punishment that might otherwise have been imposed, Bolton wrote. Arpaio's attorneys appealed Thursday's decision to the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. It did not, however, 'revise the historical facts' of this case. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
