I do think the just framing is common, especially for exonerations, & I’m not opposed to this being about the just thing … but the Office of the Pardon Attorney frames it an “expression of forgiveness … in recognition of acceptance of responsibility”

So I don’t know if that’s a semantic difference — error vs unjust outcome — but what I’m saying is that it is not my understanding that pardons are intended to be remedies of unjust outcomes, but are often framed as mercy or forgiveness or reprieve

I think this frames a pardon as a way to clear a person who is not really “guilty”, but my understanding is that pardons are framed as forgiveness, in cases where there’s not any egregious procedural mishap
