Under what circumstances do you believe it is legal to pardon a prisoner? What are some examples of crimes you would pardon, and those you would not?
I think it is legal to pardon someone if you believe that their intent was not malicious and they have not done anything major to hinder the operation of the Almayer in any way. Especially if the person in question holds an important role which could be crucial to the success of the operation. Though I would not pardon someone I suspected of not understanding their crime and repeating their offense or one far worse.
Examples of times I’d give pardons:
1. An SL hacks the vendors and doors to his squad req and did not attempt to resist arrest or cause issues on his way into the brig.
2. A few marines were rough housing or shoving each other and no one was seriously injured.
3. A marine trespassing into an area gets items like meds or equipment. Though this would also depend on what they were attempting to get.
Examples of times I’d not give pardons:
1. SADAR fires an HE rocket at brig after their fellow marine is arrested.
2. Marines interfere with an arrest on purpose and are arrested for interference.
3. Personnel get into a minor argument and one pulls a gun and fires it at the other thinking he was justified in shooting the other.
