« Romney ‘Goes Negative’ In Iowa Against The Huckster |
Main
| Zep »
December 11, 2007
Huckabee Clemency (Almost!) Of The DayHe actually retreated in his bid to grant this guy clemency due to overwhelmingly negative public reaction. So this guy wasn't actually released -- but only because Huckabee was challenged so vehemently by, well, everyone in the frigging state. First, his reason for granting clemencies: “I would not deny that my sense of the reality of redemption is a factor,” the former Baptist pastor said in a radio interview with KUAR in Little Rock. “And I don’t know that I can apologize for that because I would hate to think of the kind of human I would be if I thought people were beyond forgiveness and beyond reformation and beyond some sense of improvement.” The legislature wanted to change the constitution as regards clemency due largely to Huckabee's fire sale on Redemption. On to the case of Glen Green. The parole board had found Green's request for parole to be without merit. Apparently the Huckster disagreed. Until Tuesday, Huckabee didn’t even demand that these killers admit their guilt before asking for clemency. The Rev. Johnny Jackson, who had arranged the aborted clemency deal for Glen Green with his friend the governor, describes Green as a humble Christian man – apparently one of Huckabee’s criteria for clemency. Redemption without admission of sin? Well, I won't argue theology with a minister. Now, to cap it off: What crime did this "humble Christian man" commit? 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. An accident? A "humble Christian man"? Well, as they say, he has much to be humble about, doesn't he? Here are a couple more actual Huckabee clemencies: Huckabee two weeks ago issued proclamations granting clemency for Denver Witham, who is serving life in prison for a 1974 murder in Saline County, and for John H. Claiborne, who is serving 375 years in prison for a 1994 kidnapping and armed robbery conviction in Pulaski County. Both men are still in state custody and are waiting parole hearings before the state Post Prison Transfer Board. A board spokeswoman said those hearings probably would be in August. Well, when you put it that way. I am soooo psyched this walking disaster is going to be our nominee. Thanks Iowa! Via Hot Air.
