What is the concept of general pardon in the legal system?
In the legal system, general pardon refers to the issuance of a pardon for a specific crime or crimes through a law. This pardon results in the forfeiture of the criminal action or the deletion of the conviction judgment for the crime, treating it as if it never happened. It also leads to the forfeiture of all principal and ancillary penalties, as well as criminal measures. However, it does not have any impact on previously executed penalties and criminal measures.
