Mark Wahlberg is asking the state of Massachusetts to wipe a 25-year-old assault case from his record. The Gambler actor filed a pardon application with state officials on Nov. 26 explaining why he’s a changed man since the 1988 incident when he assaulted a man near his family’s home in Dorchester. Wahlberg served 45 days of his three-month jail sentence after being convicted, and said that his “past convictions still legally impact me to this day.”
