I am not a Huckabee fan, but based on the original convictions, the perps age at the time of the original sentencing and the fact that his murders of the four cops was nine years later, Huckabee is not mainly to blame for the events of last week. There were LOTS of people who screwed up in handling him in the nine years after the commutation.
On the other hand, it would have helpd his credibility if he had not referred to himself as a conservative.
According to what Huckabee said on O’Reilly the other night, Clemmons’ actual release from prison came when someone else failed to file the paperwork which might have prevented it. Huckabee erred in judgment and deserves some of the blame, but I would put more on the judges in Washington state who let Clemmons out on low bail recently.
