From the
NY Times (Letter from the prosecutor at link at left, Huckabee's reply below):
Parole and Clemency for Maurice Clemmons
In 2000, Mike Huckabee, the former governor of Arkansas, commuted the sentence of Maurice Clemmons, who is now suspected of fatally shooting four police officers in Washington State. Mr. Clemmons had been convicted in Arkansas for a series of burglaries and robberies that began in 1989, and would not have been eligible for parole until 2021. But Mr. Huckabee, who as governor granted more than 1,000 pardon or clemency requests, made him eligible for immediate parole.
Mike will write a book about this and his adoring fans can always get a signed copy to weep over.
