I'm aware that a governor has the powers to grant clemency and pardons, but it was my understanding that parole decisions were handled by the Arkansas Board of Parole, not the governor. Whom did Huckabee grant parole to?
They can grant paroles, even early paroles. The accomplice of the murderer of my brother in law was granted early parole by Bubba in 1988. Now the murderer is trying to get his sentence commuted by Huckabee. He hasn’t denied it. The guy can bring it up now every year.
