FILE - In this Nov. 10, 2014, file photo, Mark Wahlberg arrives at the 2014 AFI Fest - &quot;The Gambler,&quot; in Los Angeles.

Wahlberg’s application with the Massachusetts Parole Board said he isn’t the same person he was 26 years ago and his past convictions are still affecting his life. Judith Beals, a former Massachusetts prosecutor who secured a civil rights injunction against Wahlberg in 1986 after he hurled rocks and racial epithets at black schoolchildren, said Tuesday, Jan. 13, 2015, in an interview with The Associated Press that the actor should not be pardoned, as he has requested, for the 1988 assaults.
