What Did Huckabee Know?

Big bombshell on the Huckabee front. Remember that prisoner he helped get released while he was Governor of Arkansas, who then went and killed a couple. Well, it's about to get a bit more interesting:

The Huffington Post has released additional documents from then-Governor Huckabee's file on Wayne Dumond, the rapist Huckabee concluded should be released from prison and who, after he was released, committed murder.

What kind of documents?

12 letters written by 8 different women asking the scumbag to stay in prison. Three of those twelve reported being sexually assaulted by Dumond. Even more damning is a affidavit from the Arkansas state police where Dumond confessed to a rape he was never charged with.

Add in the fact that these documents were provided by a Huckabee staffer who disagreed with him over the release of Dumond, which would seem to indicate Huckabee had access to these documents and you have the making of a true Willie Horton scenario.

Then, there's the issue of whether Huckabee has been honest in his statements about the Dumond affair. In this post, I argued that Huckabee may well have been less than truthful in claiming that he didn't influence the state parole board's decision to grant Dumond parole. In addition, the documents released by the Huffington Post make a mockery of Huckabee's statement to Tim Russert that he wished he had known more than he knew about Dumond before coming down on the side of his release. The documents in the file provided all the information Huckabee needed to make the correct judgment.

If Huckabee had access to these documents then the use of his office to get this guy released is unforgivable.

UPDATE

Reading up on the case now and I must say, it's a convoluted story. First Huckabee initially intended to give clemency to this guy while the Parole Board initially intended to deny parole. Then Huckabee denied clemency which was followed by the Parole Board granting parole.

Whoakay.....

But then on Hucks website you have this:

On January 16, 1997 the Board took up a reconsideration of DuMond’s parole request and voted to grant parole with the stipulation that DuMond be paroled out of state.

That same afternoon the Governor denied the clemency request. He sent a letter to DuMond that has been widely reported saying, (excerpted): “Dear Wayne, I have reviewed your applications for executive clemency, specifically a commutation and/or pardon... My desire is that you be released from prison. I feel now that parole is the best way for your reintegration into society... Therefore, after careful consideration... I have denied your applications.”

Huckabee denied his clemency request on the same day as the Parole hearing. No way these two events are not connected.

Maybe God told him to do it. This guy is a real piece of work.

The only possible conclusion is Huckabee wanted to release Evil upon the world because he is secretely a Satanist posing as a man of God.

[pissant]

I gotta better answer. Arrogance and stupidity.

[counterpunch]

I’m sticking with Satanist.

[trumandogz]

Never, ever parole a dude named Wayne.

Best pic of Huckabee I've seen yet! Very dapper.

why thank you, we ran that one through the gauntlet and it came up clean ;o)

To me the DuMond case is being overblown. Its the other thousand guys he let out of prison I want a lot more information about, and a clear explanation from Mike on the reasoning behind it. This is becoming my make or break issue with him. Until he addresses this, if I was his opponent, I would be holding his feet to the fire on it. I hope it comes up in the debate.

You speak because GOD has given that privilege but HE can take i away. Be careful

Do we have a roll-eyes smiley on this forum?

[lesser_satan]

Ooh, very good point! I hadn’t even considered the “Wayne” angle.

[lesser_satan]

Ping!

The DuMond case is bad. But in my estimation, the Green case is even worse. Huckabee eventually rescinded on that clemency under a lot of public pressure, but when you look at the murder that occurred, you have to wonder what lead Hucakbee to pardon the guy in the first place:

Green, a 22-year-old sergeant, kidnapped Helen Lynette Spencer on Little Rock Air Force Base, where he beat and kicked her as he tried to rape her in a secluded area. She broke loose and ran toward the barracks’ parking lot, where he caught up with her and beat her with a pair of nunchucks.

He then stuffed her into the trunk of his car and left her there while he cleaned up. Several hours later, he drove down Graham Road, past Loop Road and stopped near a bridge in Lonoke County. Green told investigators he put her body in the front seat and raped her because her body was still warm.

He dragged Spencer out of his vehicle and put her in front of the car and ran over her several times, going back and forth. He then collected himself long enough to dump her body in Twin Prairie Bayou.

The only way either of these two guys should ever have been allowed to mingle again with the public is after getting both lobotomies and castrations.
