Pardon Me

Posted by Eric at 11:45 am. Filed under: Randomly Interesting, Humor

This week Bush pardoned two people convicted years ago of moonshining.

The pardons this week restore full U.S. citizenship to the men, including the rights to vote and buy a gun, their attorneys told The Knoxville News Sentinel. But their records will reflect both the felony convictions and the pardons.

Cantrell said that in the mid-1960s he and two friends set up a still on the side of Monteagle Mountain, surrounded by trees. “It don’t take a genius to make it,” he said.

Soon afterward, the site was raided and he was convicted of Internal Revenue Service liquor law violations and given three years probation.

As a public service to readers of Myopic Zeal who may have histories of moonshine convictions, here is the paperwork you need to begin the process of requesting a pardon.
