Former Republican Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin drew widespread condemnation last week when reports highlighted that he had pardoned more than 400 convicted criminals in his final days in office. Bevin justified his actions by telling The Washington Post, "I'm a believer in second chances."
In a wide-ranging interview with Kentucky's WHAS on Thursday, Bevin offered a fresh defense for perhaps his most controversial pardon, that of Micah Schoettle, a 41-year-old man who was convicted of raping a 9-year-old last year.
Bevin's justification: There was no physical evidence of abuse and the girl's hymen was "intact."

There.Is.No. Defense.
Bevin’s justification: There was no physical evidence of abuse and the girl’s hymen was “intact.”
Please someone correct me if I am wrong. But I was under the impression that a charge and conviction of sexual assault committed against a child does not require penile vaginal penetration and certainly not proof the hymen was ruptured.
You are correct.
Juries decide guilt or innocence. Period.
In the Godfather II Rocco did rupture Hyman Roth.

“Bevin’s justification: There was no physical evidence of abuse and the girl’s hymen was “intact.”
What evidence was there?
Reminiscent of former governor of Mississippi, Haley Barbour’s insane pardons.
Now we see why Bevin was a hard sell for POTUS to bring across the finish line.
LOL!!! Get thee to a punnery :-D
Okay, then what “exactly” did they PROVE he did?
I’m a believer in second chances.”
Im a believer in recidivism.
