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.

Oh, I’m not saying he wasn’t a bad actor, but the first bunch of crimes didn’t involve any violent behavior that would gotten him 100+ years in prison here in Texas in the first place. And Texas isn’t soft on criminals. In light of
what he did,the other day,. yes, he should have been left locked up forever. All the attacks, though have been on Huckabee, On none of these threads that I have read, has the name of the judge that just a few days ago let this guy out on bail, and this was after this guy had been arrested for more violent crimes.
I can accept Huckabee’s explanation. I do not particularly like the man, nor would he be my choice for President. I support Sarah Palin for our next President, if she runs.
