Abstract
This appellate reply brief submitted to the Court Of Appeals Twelfth Appellate District Of Ohio argues that the trial court erred in denying the sealing of defendant's pardoned conviction. It contends that an unconditional pardon should entitle the recipient to have the conviction sealed, aligning with the rehabilitative intent of a pardon. The brief emphasizes that denying the sealing undermines the purpose of the pardon and continues to impose collateral consequences on the individual. The appellant seeks a reversal of the trial court's decision, advocating for the sealing of the pardoned conviction to fully restore his rights and reputation
