He killed two innocent people, and was released after only 14 years? That’s outrageous. He should have been executed.
Murders should only qualify for parole when their murder victims recover and sign an affidavit to drop charges.
I am no fan of Shuckster and never have been. I was outraged about his pardon insanity even before he became a Presidential candidate.
With that said, it’s not fair to blame him for a parole unless he took a personal interest in the case somehow.
He deserves all the scorn and ridicule he is getting for the clemency he issued Clemmons but parole (and often the subsequent supervision after release) is badly broken in every state that I am aware of.
So this could be a Huckabee two-fer.
On man o Manishevitz, that would be awful.
Sounds to me like Darcus is due for some permanent rehabilitation.
That in itself is outrageous. The fact that he was pardoned after serving *less* than 14 years (the trial took some time after all).
I've only been exposed to the Arkansas court system once, when we granted legal guardianship of my wife's nieces. I was not impressed. The judge was a petty tyrant, and not all that bright.
We immediately fled back to Texas with the girls.
