unpardoned
Never granted clemency
Unpardoned describes someone who has not received a pardon—their offense remains on record, their sentence unforgiven.
A prisoner may die unpardoned despite appeals for clemency.
The word applies to both legal pardons and broader forgiveness: She carried her unpardoned sins to the grave.
