yeah, the second one is really different.
As for the disfigurement, at the time of the trial, and maybe for 10 years or so, it looked like it was impossible to fix the damage. Only with the advancement of surgical and pharmaceutical treatments was it even deemed worth an attempt at fixing the damage.
Also, in the plastic surgery case, I think the victim felt some degree of responsibility for the disfigurement in that the individual had costing information from actual board certified plastic surgeons, and was motivated to save some significant money and have the procedure done in literally a garage.
Does that change the equation a bit ??

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
