Bill Richardson Tackles The Pressing Question Of Whether Or Not To Pardon Billy the Kid
Yes, that Billy the Kid. The one killed by Pat Garrett in 1881.
The fat, grope-y governor who may be under consideration for Secretary of State (or not) is a Billy the Kid buff (they have so much in common, one with the rustlin' and shootin', the other with the gorgin' and gropin'), so he's spending his last few days of office considering a pardon for a dead man.
The article, though, is sorta neat, if you like Old West stuff. Pat Garrett's family is trying to protect Garrett's status as Good Guy, so they're the principle lobbyists against a pardon.
On the other side of things is Emilio Estavez. I'd imagine.
