As far as I know, the difference between expungement and a pardon is with an expungement the crime "never happened" as far as criminal records are concerned, but with a pardon the crime happened but you no longer have to serve punishment.
So what does this mean in her future? Is she still considered a felon for background check purposes? Does she have to answer "yes" to the felon question on employment applications? Is she still prohibited from possessing firearms and ammunition under federal law?
A pardon is an improvement in her situation, but I do not know if it solves all her problems.
Be interested in any lawyers who know how this works chiming in.
