Summary of Case:	"Edna B. Wilkerson was convicted in 2007 of failure to report abuse of patient at a care facility in Wayne County, Michigan. Wilkerson was sentenced to 1 year probation, and pay $1,595 in fines and restitution. Edna B. Wilkerson was pardoned by Michigan's governor on June 6, 2010. An executive pardon in Michigan erases a conviction and restores the pardoned person's presumption of innocence the same as a court order vacating a conviction. The Michigan Court of Appeal stated in People v. Van Heck, 252 Mich. App. 207, 651 NW 2d 174 (Mich. Ct. of Appeals 9-24-2002): "As our Supreme Court has observed, such an act of clemency "`reaches both the punishment prescribed for the offense and the guilt of the offender. It releases the punishment and blots out of existence the guilt, so that in the eye of the law the offender is as innocent as if he had never committed the offense.'" People v. Stickle, 156 Mich. 557, 564, 121 N.W. 497 (1909), quoting People, ex rel. Forsyth v. Court of Sessions of Monroe County, 141 N.Y. 288, 294-295, 36 N.E. 386 (1894)."
