In addition to the events stipulated by a special provision, the judge may pardon the perpetrator in misdemeanours, in any of the following events: 1. If the perpetrator has not completed (21) twenty-one years of age at the time of committing the crime and has not been convicted in another crime. 2. If the misdemeanour is a crime of libel or battery and the assault is reciprocated, or if the assault is minor and the victim waives his personal right. In the event of pardon, the judge may give such advice and guidance to the perpetrator as he deems fit, and shall warn him that he shall not benefit from a new pardon in the future.
