A pardon is the forgiveness of a crime and the penalty associated with it. It is granted by a head of state, such as a monarch or president, or by a competent church authority. In Canada the governor is able to grant what is called clemency, which, in a sense, is sort of the same thing. A general pardon may be known as an amnesty.
