People need to go to prison.
A hearing absolutely cannot be held on a charge someone has been pardoned for. They can still investigate issues involving it, but it'd be a waste of resources.
Per SCOTUS Decision, Ex parte Garland, 1866: "A pardon reaches both the punishment prescribed for the offence and the guilt of the offender; and when the pardon is full, it releases the punishment and blots out of existence the guilt [for the offense], so that in the eye of the law the offender is as innocent as if he had never committed the offence."
In effect, there is nothing to perform a hearing on, as the crime ceases to exist.
Investigations can always occur, of course, but it'd be almost pointless as far as the pardoned crime unless they feel there may be other crimes that were left out of the pardon.
