[Johnny Trinh] said he lost the eye in a 1975 grenade explosion while he was with the South Vietnamese army.
During the assault in Boston, Wahlberg punched Trinh in the eye after first hitting another Vietnamese man in the head with a large stick and hurling racial slurs.
“He was young and reckless but I forgive him now,” said Trinh, who did not know his assailant wound up a famous movie star. “Everyone deserves another chance.”
“I would like to see him get a pardon. He should not have the crime hanging over him any longer.”
