#executive clemency

• Amnestied — Having benefited from an amnesty; a person officially cleared of punishment or criminal liability following a collective act of clemency issued by the supreme legislative body. As a participle or adjective, it describes an offense, a conviction, or a historical guilt that has been definitively erased from the criminal record, structurally removing all its punitive effects.
• Granting of amnesty — The act of amnestying and its result; the institutional, legislative, and administrative process through which the state officially grants clemency to offenders, voiding criminal liability for specific offenses. Unlike a pardon, amnistiare has a broader collective impact, removing even the historical incrimination of the committed act.
