Mark Wahlberg Blinded A Man In One Eye
When Mark Wahlberg was merely 16 years old, he was arrested for a crime. He tried to rob a man right outside of a convenience store and in the process, he attacked the man. This led to him getting blinded in one eye. He was later charged and questioned as an adult, despite being a juvenile.
“I am deeply sorry for the actions that I took on the night of April 8, 1988, as well as for any lasting damage that I may have caused the victims.”
He served 45 days out of the 3 months in jail and was heavily apologizing for his actions. However, he later asked for a pardon for his crime.
“My hope is that, if I receive a pardon, troubled youths will see this as an inspiration and motivation that they too can turn their lives around.”
This was because of his restaurant deal which he wanted to go through. He wanted his criminal record completely erased before he could work hand-in-hand with law enforcement. His intentions were to help at-risk children get a better life.
