Virginia Governor Youngkin Pardons Father Arrested After Speaking Out Over Daughter's School Assault

Father Scott Smith was arrested at a school board meeting after complaining about the handling of his daughter's sexual assault.
Smith was convicted of disorderly conduct, but his obstruction of justice charge was dismissed.
Youngkin granted Smith a full pardon, calling his prosecution a "gross miscarriage of justice."
The case fueled conservative anger over school policies and led to national attention.
The assault suspect was later found guilty, while the school superintendent accused of a cover-up was fired.
