Did conservatives in KY suspect he had such crimes against the people in him?
Heads should roll.
Nothing like confirming the reason you were unelected.
This man should be locked up for the safety of society. Thank God he didn’t win another term. He is apparently psychotic.
Now every Freeper who insisted that there was massive election fraud in Kentucky will understand how this pr!ck lost even while the rest of the GOP won by wide margins in November.
What in the hell?
well at least he didn’t pardon a wrongly convicted Christian preacher or anything horrendous like that
He’s pardoned or commuted 430 people so far including some really bad folks....murder rape child molestation you name it
Incredible
Is he kin to Ray Blanton?
I believe they can emergency impeach him to stop him continuing
At first glance, (from the “HEAD” line), one would agree all the comments, but we really don’t have all the info here.
Apparently, from this unusual (to say the least) pardon, there HAS TO BE more to the story.
Bevin must have believed that this was the wrong guy (DNA) or he just had a YUGE payday.
At first, I got this mixed up with another case where the prosecutors were over zealous and refused new DNA tests arbitrarily, and, knowing prosecutors can be real pieces of work, I dug a little:

The outgoing governor pardons the murderers, the incoming one keeps them in jail but gives them voting rights.
Why is the state unable or unwilling to test the EXISTING DNA evidence?
If there is evidence the state hasn’t tested, I’d want to know why... until then then I’d have to go with the gov on this one no matter how heinous the crime because it puts the conviction into the reasonable doubt category.
“chopped off and placed on her lap in a 55-gallon barrel”
Not so bad . . .
Earth Day founder Ira Einhorn composted his girlfriend in a suitcase in his closet . . . and he’s free.
And the Left celebrates his efforts every year
Let’s see; each story is from a newspaper outlet...I’m sure every word is true and all the facts have been reported exactly truthfully.
I’m sure glad Bashear won so we can have 100,000 more dems voting to keep the state blue.
Yep, sure am glad.
Bevin the business man was horrible for the state.
In just a couple of clicks, I found this (local) article.

It’s a “Part 2” I haven’t read Part 1 yet.
VERY INTERESTING! Was the BODY actually the body of Betty Carnes?
What the heck happened to Bevin? He started off so well.
The criminal justice system in this country is rotten to the core, from top to bottom. You are all aware of and do not like what you see at the top of the ladder — well it is EXACTLY the same on the rungs below. I think Gov. Beven probably looked at the case carefully and saw a lot of prosecutorial misconduct, and did the right thing.
All you Bevan supporters who bemoaned his defeat can just stuff it. Horrible governor, glad he’s gone.
I saw a story elsewhere on this topic. Apparently Bevin, who I am embarrassed to say was one of our guys, issued hundreds of pardons on his way out the door. Many of them were really dicey or, as in this case, just wrong. I have no problem with pardoning somebody who made a mistake 20 years ago that did not involve violence or sexual predation and who got their act together and did not re-offend. But some of these pardons are indefensible.
Douchebag doesn’t begin to cover what this guy is...
Shameful thr GOP ever tied themselves to him
