Those who show forgiveness can be called forgiving or merciful. Those who deserve forgiveness can be called forgivable.
amnesty
By definition, it is not legal to do any crime. That's what "crime" means.
A pardon is the forgiveness of a crime and the penalty associated with it. It is granted by a head of state, such as a monarch or president, or by a competent church authority. In Canada the governor is able to grant what is called clemency, which, in a sense, is sort of the same thing. A general pardon may be known as an amnesty.
Commit a crime
No. A crime is something that is illegal. Robbery is an illegal crime.
To apologize is to say sorry for something. To ask forgiveness is to ask someone to forgive you and let you go even if you have commited a crime or sin.
