A prosecutor who pursued a case against Mark Wahlberg as a teenager has urged officials in Massachusetts not to pardon the Hollywood actor for an assault conviction in the 1980s. The Departed star spent 45 days in jail for beating up two Vietnamese men in separate incidents in his hometown of Dorchester, Massachusetts, when he was 16, and he has filed a petition with state officials in a bid to have the 1988 felony charge removed from his record.
