The Governor of Virginia says removing crimes from your criminal record you’ve NOT been convicted of allows you “to avoid the full consequences” of your actions.

Make. it. make. sense.

Jackie Wright Justice Forward VA Tim Kaine 'Whataboutism' - if both broke the law, they should face consequences, wouldn't you agree?

Justice Forward VA Not guilty means NOT GUILTY, at least in a legal sense.

If the government couldn’t or didn’t prove it beyond a reasonable doubt, the defendant is not guilty as a matter of law.

No matter what some still believe about the late O.J., a not guilty verdict is entitled to deference.
