The question Is "have you done those things" because if you have, then you broke the Law for which the penalty is death. If you are saying you'd rather pay the penalty yourself, then reject the pardon, if you want to live then accept it.
If I was on death row and the president pardoned me, I'd be a fool not to accept it.
If you're on death row and you'd rather an innocent person die for something you did, you're a horribly immoral person.
