I do not believe that they could be reversed. This would create a huge fallout in civil court, though. Part of accepting a pardon is admitting that you committed the crime and waiving 5th amendment rights. This would open every pardoned criminal to wrongful death lawsuits by family members of their victims in which they had no legal right not to incriminate themselves.
