    You are pardoned for an activity, not a particular charge.

    If it were the other way around, then prosecutors would simply refile the case with different charges.

      But the pardon implys the activity was against the law at the time, and they were doing so knowingly.

        No, pardons do not imply guilt.

        Pardons can be issued when someone is believed to be innocent of any wrongdoing.
