You are very right. I don't think Huckabee is responsible for those killings. The person who is responsible is Clemmons. Having said that, I don't think Huckabee is a good leader, either, and I wouldn't want him for President.
Of course, if by some chance it were to be him vs. Zero, I'd vote for him in a heartbeat.
Huckster did make a bad decision that could be said to have led to those officers deaths, but if the parole board were to have recommended this perp’s release, how many other governors would have released him, too?
And what about the people who have let this guy fall through the cracks since then? Didn't a judge just let this guy out on bail a few days ago? It is proper that Huckster be saddled with some blame for this, but not right that others who have let this guy out time after time get out of any responsibility. Thier names ought to see print as well, IMHO.

Huckabee released more than 700 criminals in the same time span Texas released 98.

I have also read that he basically appointed all the members of the parole board.

From what I've read from some Arkansas posters, his activity in releasing criminals from their lawful sentences went beyond what is normal, indicating some ulterior motive other than the safety of the public at large.

What the truth is, I don't know. The guy always struck me as a phony, and if he were the "better" choice in any election, I'd stay home.
