Huckabee had a reputation for granting pardons, paroles, and sentence commutations.
He was a “sucker” for inmates claiming they were “born again” Christians.
I was aware of this personally. In our case, Huckabee did nothing, more or less “tabling” the commutation request.
My understanding is that if the Governor denies the request, the requests end there. If he does nothing, the inmate can bring the request again.
The Governor after Huckabee did the same — he did nothing.
Huckabee is an idiot, that is a given. Huckabee bought into restorative justice and rehabilitation instead of punishment. He may have been influenced by his religion, or he might not. Most post modernists don’t believe in traditional religious thought. They view religion as a sociology movement. I put Huckabee in this category. He was/is a big government, nanny state, restorative justice, advocate.
If you are going to blame Huckabee, you must condemn restorative justice as a whole and blame the authorities in WA for ignoring the fugitive warrant against Clemmons and the eight felony charges that were pending against Clemmons.

I have a brother in law who is a “Born Again” type. They guy has defrauded banks out of almost a million dollars over the last 20 years. He would rob you blind and is a spoiled SOB. Usually I have found that a number of those who are “Born Again” are the first to stab you in the back, but hey at least they go to church to make things all better every Sunday....
