A pardon is a legal practice, whereby a criminal's offenses are legally blotted out, or a conviction is erased. Normally this can be issued only by the highest-ranking authorities around — the emperor, the king, the president. Fictionally the overwhelming use of them is to allow the Lovable Rogue (or, less often, a less charismatic villain) to get off the hook by doing the kingdom a great favor: the bandits who protect the prince who had to flee invaders, the Gentleman Thief who prevents a murder in a household he is robbing, the pickpocket who reveals that the Evil Sorcerer had an Artifact of Doom, or other criminals who for once put their talents to good use. This can either lead to a Happy Ending — even if they can not bear to give up In Harm's Way, they can often be recruited to work for the good guys, which may indeed be a condition of the pardon — or last until they break the law again in a series. In the later case, it often acts much like a Mercy Lead. The Sympathetic Inspector Antagonist may actually catch his prey once or twice, only to be stymied by this. Historical Fiction, or a Feudal Future, may use an ancient tradition of pardoning some, or all, criminals on special occasions, such as the ascension of a new king, or to dramatize the clemency of the king. Such a general pardon can also feature after the Witch Hunt, or when the Reign of Terror lurches into a Full-Circle Revolution, while everyone has lost the fervor and is feeling ashamed of the bloodshed. Corrupt or evil authorities may use it for full-blown villains, keeping them in the story. Super-Trope of Last-Minute Reprieve. The Boxed Crook is often offered one, as are criminals Trading Bars for Stripes. Whether it's for real is another matter. Can be used as a "Get Out of Jail Free" Card; the pardon may be conditional on their joining a team. Compare Statute of Limitations, where the criminal is off the hook after sufficient time has elapsed. Too many Real Life examples to list them all — include only notably striking cases. The Other Wiki has more here. Examples |

In Mobile Suit Gundam Seed Destiny, Shinn Asuka is arrested and confined to the brig after returning a prisoner of war to the enemy (she was dying, and only the enemy had the facilities to save her), as is Rey za Burrel for aiding him. However, Chairman Durandal decides that the matter should be "overlooked" and orders them to return to active duty. The reason behind this is Shinn and Rey are among his most valuable pawns in his hidden agenda, and having them locked up in military prison would really put a damper on that. | |

In Girls und Panzer, one of the incentives for joining and doing well on the Tankery team is 200 passes for lateness. Mako Reizei, an incredible student who has been late 235 times, needs them. Later on, Midoriko Sono, the head of the Moral's Committee, promises during the finals that if Oorai wins, thus saving the school from closure, then she'll delete Mako's entire truancy record. She holds up her promise when they do win. | |

A full pardon of their capital offenses was the incentive for the main characters of The Dirty Dozen to volunteer for the film's mission. Only one of them lives to get pardoned, the rest just get posthumously declared to have died in the line of duty instead of being executed. | |

Forgive Me Not: In future New York, juvenile offenders can have their crimes erased and be released immediately if they manage to convince the victim or victim's family of their guilt and are forgiven. Most can't, and have the choice between juvenile detention which stays on their record forever, or the Trials, which are activities geared to make a young offender feel remorse. While taking part in the Trials, the victim can forgive the offender at any time and are actually given livestreams/recordings of the offender's Trials. They also have a government employee telling them every so often if the offender has had progress. | |

In the two-part pilot episode of Star Trek: Discovery, Commander Michael Burnham commits The Mutiny against Captain Georgiou in an attempt to head off a war with the Klingons. She fails, over 8,000 people are killed in the opening battle (including Georgiou), and Burnham is stripped of her commission and imprisoned. Six months later, a somewhat botched prison transfer lands her on the USS Discovery, setting off a chain of events that leads to her being instrumental in ending the war and saving both The Federation and the Klingon Empire; as a result, her conviction is pardoned and her rank and commission are reinstated. | |

House of Cards (US): After manipulating his way to the presidency, Frank Underwood pardons his predecessor Garrett Walker and businessman Raymond Tusk. Initially a fairly clever move, it comes back to bite Frank in the ass in Season 4 when Walker is able to go on the record about how he was innocent in the money laundering scheme and the Chinese trade war in Season 2, which seriously imperils Frank's administration on the eve of the 2016 presidential election. | |

Arabian Nights: In "Tale of the Trader and the Jinn", the trader in question has accidentally and unknowingly killed a Jinn's son. When he meets the Jinn a year later to die as punishment, he is met by three other men, who tell the Jinn their respective stories in an attempt to persuade him to spare the trader; in some translations, this is referred to as his agreeing to pardon the man for a portion of his crime if he finds their stories interesting enough. | |

In Supergirl (2015), the xenophobic Ben Lockwood, alias Agent Liberty is finally captured and defeated by Supergirl, and subsequently jailed, in spite of amassing a following that supports his twisted ideology. President Baker, whose approval ratings are plummeting thanks to Liberty's imprisonment (not to mention Supergirl quit the D.E.O. when she refused to disclose her secret identity as ordered), decides to issue a pardon for the man under the loophole that the law offers protection to humans, not the aliens that Lockwood was targeting. He later issues one to Lex Luthor for saving America from invading enemy forces, as he had been acting as Luthor's pawn since the beginning, as part of a scheme to get Lex right to the top and essentially give him control of the country. However, Baker and his role in the scheme are exposed thanks to Brainiac Five, and he is not only impeached and removed, but Lockwood ends up going down with him. | |

In Origins, a Mass Effect/Star Wars/Borderlands/Halo Massive Multiplayer Crossover, it's Discussed that while Samantha Shepard did legitimately commit war crimes during her Heroic BSoD, the authorities with the power to enact punishment against her will permanently stay their hands due to the stakes. A second case of a legitimate Heel–Face Turn flummoxes the Citadel Council because they can't actually think of a suitable means to exact retribution against the person. It's kind of hard to take money from someone who has zero need for it, lock up someone who can teleport, or condemn someone to rot in a cell when as far as everyone can tell the person in question is immortal/unkillable. So no sentence would have any effect. | |

In The Order of the Stick, Tarquin offers one to Roy and Belkar. Roy wrangles one for Ian and Geoff, too. Elan suggests that Therkla might be able to get one if she switches sides. Hinjo offers a 5 year reduction of the sentence of any prisoner of 5th level or higher unless they are guilty of a capital crime if they help defend Azure City. Ian and Geoff flee at the first opportunity anyway since Ian believes Tarquin's the kind of guy who would hunt down his enemies, pardons be damned. Tarquin doesn't really give a damn about Ian, but has him framed for murder anyway. He was annoyed by Ian speaking to Tarquin as if they were equals and he wants to test Haley's worthiness to be his future daughter-in-law. It's the absence of this trope in the result of the trial of the Order at Azure City that causes Haley to realize it was all a sham. If the trial was real, the Order would have been found 'guilty', and then possibly have had any sentence reduced/removed because of the circumstances. Instead, they are just found 'not guilty'. Haley immediately recognizes this makes no sense, but her deductions and epiphany are hidden behind her cryptograms, which the other characters can't understand and which the audience probably wouldn't try to translate (but if they did, it's a nice early reveal that Shojo is Obfuscating Stupidity). |

The Stormlight Archive: Lift gets one at the end of her introductory chapter. Specifically, Lift is a member of a band of thieves and a budding Surgebinder. Nale wants to kill all Surgebinders but is honor-bound to act within the law, so he is restricted to executing criminals as an officer of the law. Since theft is punishable by death, he can legally kill Lift when he catches her breaking into the palace of the Azish Emperor—at least, until another boy in the gang is unexpectedly crowned Emperor and pardons her. Nale reluctantly leaves without a fuss. | |

At the end of Solo Command, Han Solo and Wedge Antilles discuss this in relation to Gara Petothel, aka Lara Notsil, aka Kirney Slane, who was an Imperial Intelligence agent and spied against the New Republic but then defected and dealt immeasurable damage to Warlord Zsinj's fleet. However, they conclude that (being a fleet general and a fighter commander) they really don't have the authority to issue a pardon, and the only person they could really ask (Princess Leia) is off on other duties and can't be contacted. In the end, they compromise, deleting the (admittedly circumstantial, but quite persuasive) evidence that she survived the book's climax from the ship's logs and declaring the case closed. Mercy Kill confirms that she survived, is happily married to Donos and they have their own travel business called "Donoslane excursions".. | |

A Non-Criminal Type: In the movie version of The Prince and the Pauper, Errol Flynn's character, Miles Hedon, rescues Prince Edward Tudor, but fails to recognize him (since Tom [the pauper]) is in court. Since Edward still acts like a royal, he forbids Miles from sitting in his presence. Finally, Miles convinces Edward to "grant" him the privilege. Later, after Edward has been crowned king, Miles gets bored during his coronation speech and sits on the steps of the dias. The other court members are incensed until Edward confirms that he (and all his descendants) can sit in the presence of royalty. | |

On Her Majesty's Secret Service. Blofeld's demand is not another ransom, but a pardon for his past crimes and formal recognition of his (implied to be illegitimate) aristocratic title. He would have gotten away with it too, if he hadn't made the mistake of holding prisoner a daughter of a Union Corse crime boss that James Bond can call on for his Men of Sherwood. | |

In their own series, the Daltons were once pardoned for their decisive role in repelling a Mexican invasion. The concept of the series being the Dalton always failing to break out and Averell being Averell, the dumbest of the Daltons then reveals he stole the suitcase with the spy gadgets that the president gave them to do the job in full view of the president, the US Army, and the prison guards, so the Dalton are promptly jailed again on the charge of stealing that. | |

In Dragon Mango, Passion's people demanded that she mate with a fellow member of their species, the dragonslayers, in order to replenish their dropping numbers. She refused and instead fled to elope with her human lover. Outraged, they exiled her from the dragonslayer regions of the country. When she returned with Mango, a Half-Human Hybrid, as proof that dragonslayers and humans are actually compatible, it became a very popular pairing that has more than doubled their numbers in only 20 years. However, this did not soothe their rage at her for defying them in the first place. After Mango achieves victory in a tournament and gives an impassioned speech about how her mother, Passion, was the reason for her being there, King Citrus pardons Passion. | |

One Piece: This is the center of Franky's backstory. His mentor Tom was put on trial for building the Pirate King's ship, the Oro Jackson, and sentenced to death, but managed to get a stay of execution in exchange for working on the Sea Train, a way of connecting Water 7 with nearby islands. Eventually, he succeeded, and Spandam's attempt to get the plans to Pluton under the justification of Tom being a criminal failed, since Tom was pardoned and (unknown to Spandam) passed the blueprints on to Iceberg. As a result, Spandam and his Cipher Pol 5 operatives stole Franky's ships to frame him, Tom, and Iceberg for attacking the courthouse ship. Tom, however, asked that the pardon be used on the crimes of attacking the court ship, and while he was sentenced to death, the Pluton blueprints remained safe. Being based off Privateers, the Shichibukai also benefit from this when they ally themselves with the World Government. The pardons are all revoked with the rest of their privileges whenever a Warlord leaves the system via any means, with their bounties reinstated. |

Furthermore, it can be assumed that Henry received the same pardon offscreen in the "Government Supported Private Investigator" ending.

When the Spare Squadron prove to be surprisingly effective at carrying out their missions, with Trigger proving to be a good enough pilot to challenge Mihaly, they’re all given a pardon and transferred into the regular forces. Trigger is further exonerated from his own conviction after further evidence surfaces. | |

Babylon 5. After successfully rebelling against EarthGov and overthrowing the dictatorship of President Clark, Sheridan is offered clemency for those who followed him, but only if he resigns his command. It's An Offer You Can't Refuse but Sheridan has the last laugh when he's elected President of the Alliance. Turns out the pardon for his men was what he was after the whole time, and he only put on a show of being coerced. He also made sure of distributing copies of the amnesty to plenty of journalists before the announcement that he'd been made President. | |

In the Judge Dredd story "In the Event of My Death...", during a Mob War in Mega-City One, one mobster turns to the Judges, offering information in exchange for a pardon. Because he knows the Judges like pulling Exact Words on these things, he's very clear that this pardon should cover all his known crimes, any unknown crimes, and anything he's done that the Judges retroactively make a crime. He's just leading Dredd into a deathtrap, though. | |
