The prosecutor opposed the clemency, the parole board supported it. Huckabee took a pass and let the parole board go forward. Hucabee virtually voted, “present”. Huckabee beleives in restorative justice and rehabilitation. Huckabee is an idiot.
You can condemn Huckabee if you want, but you must also condemn the philosophy behind the clemency, restorative justice. Whatever Huckabee did, WA state doubled down on. This murder took place in WA, six days after WA state refused to honor a fugitive warrant from Arkansas and ignored the eight felony charges facing Clemmons.
I do condemn the philosophy behind the clemency. I’m also southern baptist so it’s not something that the denomination teaches as far as letting violent criminals go free.
Yes the state of Washington has the same blood on their hands but had the governor and former SBC preacher used his God given sense this violent sociopath wouldn’t have been free to continue brutalizing society.
