Even I got a pardon from Clinton, and I didn’t even do anything criminal.
A simple $20 donation to Hillary’s Senate campaign was all it took.
Based upon democrats' era of love and peace pronouncements, there is little wonder that they are wanting to bring them back for one last dance.
This story makes my privates hurt.
The at least 4 women Dumond raped and the one he killed(if she could) might take exception to the characterizations of him in this article.
While the treatment DuMond received was technically illegal and I do not approve of it, it is clear from his documented actions that he was begging for people as brutal as himself to pay him in kind for his actions.
What I recall about this case is that the sheriff later testified that he kept the jar containing Dumond’s privates in a “little canacky” in his office. He meant credenza.
This kind of slur gives me pause about the story's veracity. But it is a horrid thing if true, almost an Islamic level of barbarism.
You really should put some kind of warning or alert on this article. It’s not for people with very weak stomachs.
I REALLY don’t have much sympathy for rapists and murderers...
his command of the english language is telling.
Such nice people. Yeah right....
Vote for Duncan Hunter and you can put your mind at ease.
I (unfortunately) grew up in Forrest City, Arkansas and my father was a member of the jury that convicted DuMond. When it was later suggested that DuMond could have been wrongly convicted, I asked my dad about it. He said that all the evidence given to them proved beyond a doubt that DuMond was guilty. I personally believe that if DuMond had never been castrated, this case would have never received the amount of publicity that it has.
Apparently not the only one, according to this story. Sheesh, this is like Deliverance and Buford Pusser all wrapped up in a white sheet with fried okra.
Apparently not.
Ping.
The subtext of the article is pretty clearly that Dumon didn’t do it, or that at the very least he was unfairly convicted and that his parole was justified.
If Huckabee wins the nomination, the author, Ward Harkavy, will probably be writing articles about how Huckabee should have known that Dumond was guilty and would do it again.
BTW, I have never seen any discussion of whether DNA analysis could be done today to determine whether Dumond was guilty of the original rape.
Also no discussion of the physical challenges overcome by a castrated man to commit this most recent rape-murder. Perhaps due to the high “eeeewww” factor.
That was a well done article by the Village Voice- the tone of the article is exactly what Arkansas Conservatives said about Wayne DuMond (at the time in the 90’s) - It was a sordid case all around. Gov. Huckabee encouraged the release of DuMond because of the points made in this article. He made a big mistake, but the case is much more complex than the MSM or Arkansas Democrats like Max Brantley portray. Thanks for posting.
