For what crime is it that the White House turkeys are pardoned?
And why is a wrongfully convicted person 'pardoned' when proven innocent? Shouldn't there be a different term? 'Exonerated' maybe?
'Pardoned,' it seems to me, implies wrong-doing which is now being forgiven. Maybe someone with legal knowledge can explain this to me.

These are all such good questions. I hope you post any answers you find. Thank you for the beautiful, serene photographs that are a lovely start to fyi day.
How about exonerated? Or expunged? Or there's another, I think exculpate! Glad I'm not a lawyer.
Probably because they were turkeys.
