VII.   Law

Pardon is the forgiveness of a crime and the penalty associated with it.

Pardons shall be limited to only three specific suits:

(i) A suit of wrongful imprisonment in which charges are formally brought against those who are responsible for such wrongful imprisonment and the victim has been formally found to be innocent of the previous charges; or

(ii) A man or woman who pleads guilty to the most serious of crimes and completes the sentence of assisted suicide. Such pardons will always be posthumous and after the coroner confirms the death of the convicted man or woman; or

(iii) A man or woman charged of a lesser crime who is pardoned by the Executive Government, by order.
