Doesn't a Pardon Still Imply Admission of Guilt? I asked a downcast but nonetheless dignified Mr. Kerner if he had considered seeking a pardon. He was emphatic in his response. No, he told me, I would neither seek nor accept a Presidential pardon, which requires an admission of guilt. I would not perjure myself to obtain a pardon. I am innocent.. Mr. Kerner died some months later proclaiming his innocence.
