Wahlberg hasn’t transformed, says lawyer
A former prosecutor who secured a civil rights injunction against a young Mark Wahlberg after he hurled rocks and racial slurs at black schoolchildren has said he should not be pardoned for an attack on two Asian men two years later.
Judith Beals, a former Massachusetts assistant attorney general, said she believed in “forgiveness and reconciliation” but Transformers actor Wahlberg’s request should be denied because he had not acknowledged the racial element of his crimes in documents he filed with the state last November.
