Judge won't wipe out guilty verdict for Arpaio
Trump pardon ends criminal case but can't 'revise historical facts,' court says.


I don't understand this.
Quote:
Arpaio's attorneys argue it is unfair for the verdict to remain on the book since the pardon effectively wipes out Arpaio's ability to appeal that decision.
If Arpaio wanted to appeal the verdict, he coould have turned down Trump's pardon. Now he claims that the pardon is preventing him from an appeal. Strange.
