I’ve been saying what you’ve just said. 108 years for a burglary is an awful tough sentence for a 17 year old. And also,if the parole board recommended a change in sentence.
A 47 year sentence would seem enough for the crimes committed to me too.
A lot of folks would advocate firing squad for traffic violations as long as it isn’t them. Stuff happens. Folks who start blaming everyone that ever had contact with a person, or tried to help him, are acting just like the liberals do.
Every felon that has been released from prison was released by someone. Some will change thier lives, some won’t.I don’t have any statistics here, but I’d suspect that nearly all cop killers aren’t first time offenders.
I don’t want Huck for president. I don’t think he has the leadership qualities necessary. JMO, But I do believe he is a Christian, and people ought to stop acting like he let Clemmons go because Clemmons promised him he’d whack a bunch of cops as soon as he had a chance. The biased MSM are laughing thier butts off at us now, too. All they had to do was mention a connection between Huckabee and the perp and watch him get eaten. Does anyone think THEY care one bit about the officers that got shot?

Perhaps you have a problem stating the truth?

In 1990, Clemmons, then 18, was sentenced in Arkansas to 60 years in prison for burglary and theft of property, according to a news account in Arkansas Democrat-Gazette. Newspaper stories describe a series of disturbing incidents involving Clemmons while he was being tried in Arkansas on various charges.

During one trial, Clemmons was shackled in leg irons and seated next to a uniformed officer. The presiding judge ordered the extra security because he felt Clemmons had threatened him, court records show.

Another time, Clemmons hid a hinge in his sock, and was accused of intending to use it as a weapon. Yet another time, Clemmons took a lock from a holding cell, and threw it toward the bailiff. He missed and instead hit Clemmons' mother, who had come to bring him street clothes, according to records and published reports.

On another occasion, Clemmons had reached for a guard's pistol during transport to the courtroom.

When Clemmons received the 60-year sentence, he was already serving 48 years on five felony convictions and facing up to 95 more years on charges of robbery, theft of property and possessing a handgun on school property.
