Mark Wahlberg Wants a Pardon

Remember when Marky Mark beat a man so badly that he is now blind in one eye back in the 80s? Wahlberg does, and he has just filed an application to have his criminal record erased, according to NECN. The application would have to be approved by both the governor and the governor's council. Wahlberg states in the application that the pardon would be an inspiration to the at-risk youth who he helps; to prove that one's life can be turned around. Oh, and his felony conviction is preventing him from obtaining a concessionaire's license at his restaurants. But it's mostly about the at-risk youth.
