Is there a list of what the pardons and clemencies were for (broken down by type)? If not, this article is worse than useless.
“Is there a list of what the pardons and clemencies were for (broken down by type)? If not, this article is worse than useless.”
Why?
There isn’t a list, but there is this quote in the article:
“Governors in neighboring states almost never grant killers clemency, while Huckabee has commuted the sentences of a dozen murderers.”
9 Percent of Prisoners Whom Huckabee Gave Clemencies Ended Up Back in Prison. According to state records, at least 9 percent of the prisoners who benefited from Huckabee's clemencies ended up in prison again. [Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, 8/1/04]
