They worked at his residence as trustees. One had been denied parole 2 weeks ago. http://news.yahoo.com/apnewsbreak-miss-gov-barbour-pardons-4-killers-214231800.html

What are his consequences if they should ever re-offend? let alone murder someone else?

Only political consequences...and he is an out-going governor. The pardons outraged victims' relatives as well as Democratic lawmakers, who called for an end to the custom of governors' issuing such end-of-tenure pardons. "Serving your sentence at the Governor's Mansion where you pour liquor, cook and clean should not earn a pardon for murder," Public Service Commissioner Brandon Presley, a Democrat, posted Monday on his Facebook page.

Having been at the arse end of a parolees desire for release. I can understand the cons willing to do what it takes to get out of prison before his time. This situation makes me wanna vomit

The outcry from the right is deafening.........[8\|] Guess this means Halely has decided not to run for POTUS......................EVER. The number is actually 8 killers........I guess that means 4 weren`t 1st degree murder.

So much for all those who are "Tough on crime".

Wonder if he got any money out of it.

Well, I guess this *isn't* the time/place to espouse my support for the death penalty but, I will say that the inmates guilty of cold-blooded murder should have been executed instead of set free. I believe that there are some crimes for which there is no way to rehabilitate the offenders. If you are capable of cold-blooded murder, you will never be a decent member of society (IMO). Peace and comfort, Michael

Peace and comfort, Michael Sorry I know this a tad off thread but: DS, do you see the possibility that signing off on a call for restoration of the death penalty with the aspiration "Peace and comfort" is just a little incongruous, just a tiny bit contradictory?

I have no problem with the pardons. They were in custody for a long time, longer than the murderer of one of my friends who will be released this year after eight years in prison (sentence was 12 years; on good behavior the sentence is reduced by one third; may he be eaten by gnats). The people in charge will have gotten a good look into their psychology, and of course they were not selected for the position of trustee at random. They may even secretly have served their country or some secret organization meanwhile, possibly by committing more murders as ordered, earning their pardon in this way.

You say the weirdest - and off topic - things. You appear to be suffering from Rule Obsessed Compulsive Disorder (ROCD). Now close your eyes, think of grassy pastures and rivers of honey, and say to yourself: "I am happy".

Okay, nutcase or not, that is funny.

One of them shot a woman with her baby in her arms and the baby laid on her DEAD body. Another put a gun to the head of a man coming to him for aid and pulled the trigger. This piece of shit turned 'em loose because they worked for him.

Theres only one chap I feel sorry for and that is Nathan Kern, sentenced to life in 1982 for burglary after at least two prior convictions.Im guessing that was a three strikes case? Offense Sentence Length County of Conviction Sentence Date Tentative Release ROBBERY 20 YEARS COAHOMA BURGLARY-GENERAL 3 YEARS COAHOMA ROBBERY COAHOMA 30 years is a long time for a robbery. RULE Murder. If you are using YOUR friends murderers case as a "rule" as to how long a murderer should serve, I would take it up with your lawmakers. 11 years is NOT long for a murder sentence, and neither should it be. (Anthony McCray, convicted in 2001) Manslaughter? accidental, or depending on mitigating circumstances is one thing, but 12 years is NOT long enough, especially when sentenced to LIFE Edited to add, in NO WAY am I saying Kearns should NOT be punished for his crimes. 30 years should be given to rapists, pedes, killers, armed robbers and yes even robbery perps depending on the circumstances.

Winterapple -> RE: Outgoing governor pardons 4 murderers. (1/10/2012 4:58:53 PM)
FR Well, one thing you can take from this is Barbour is never running for president. I'm assuming these men were all sentenced to life and not given the death penalty. I'm opposed to the death penalty and if these were cases where they were sentenced to death and given reprieves of life sentences I would have supported it. I have no issue with Nathan Kern being pardoned. Thirty years and good behavior is enough for a robbery. He wasn't convicted of killing anyone. I remember the Gatlin case. I don't think that guy should be walking around free. The other two cases from what can be ascertained from the article straight forward examples of cold blooded murder. I would guess it is very likely one or more of them will commit a crime again and be sent back to prison. I hope the crime that sends them back isn't murder. A governor stopping a execution is one thing but releasing convicted murderers just cause you want to is messed up. It would also be different to an extent if the reasons for the releases were based on a review of their cases and believing they were wrongfully convicted. Though that's what appeals are for. And how creepy is it that murderers make the best household staff? Adds a twist to the excitement one would get from an invitation to dine at the governors mansion.

If this was a Democratic Governor, you would be crucifying his ass but since it's a Republican governor, it's ok. No problem now that we understand each other. For one of them....end his suffering MY FUCKING ASS. The man could have lived and he put a fucking GUN to his head and killed him in COLD BLOOD and you say he ended his suffering like he was a fucking cancer patient????? What a piece of shit!!!!! Only question is....Which person am I talking about?
