You can’t be pardoned for something you didn’t do.

Sure you can.

Even ignoring stuff like preemptive pardons, a pardon relinquishes you from the Justice System’s punishment. Conviction doesn’t mean you did it.. So there exists the potential for a pardon to be issued for someone that was wrongly convicted.
