Partial Pardons but still must register as sex offenders

Three men, sailors stationed in Virginia, who were convicted in 1997
of rape and murder have been partially
pardoned by the Governor of Virginia. Some one else confessed to
the crime and there was
no forensic evidence to tie the men to the victim.

The men claimed that the confessions were coerced.

Because it is not a full pardon, they must register as
sex offenders and cannot go home because the families
live in restricted areas.

Read the article
and see if you agree with the reasoning behind not
granting a full pardon.
