I’m not a Huckabee supporter by a long shot, but I just heard him on Laura Ingraham’s radio show, and, to be fair, he didn’t pardon the guy. He was paroled by the parole board, and there is a difference in a parole and a pardon. I think we should use the correct verbage.

You are correct and I apologize for the typo. How do I ask the moderator to fix the title?

Huckabee directly influenced the parole board in a face-to-face from which there were conveniently no minutes recorded, and then he wrote the killer a letter approving of the parole.

Please - the man has blood on his hands. He released a killer back into society. He also released 10 other murderers.

Huckabee is a bleeding heart liberal soft on crime.

He urged the parole board to pardon him, though. The parole board members say they were pressured.

The really sick and twisted part of this is that they KNEW he was going to commit another crime, as evidenced by the fact that they required him to leave the state.

He was only pardon after the huckster made an off the record behind locked doors appeal.

He wrote a letter of support for that murdering scum, he may as well have pardoned him the parole board certainly took his letter into account.

It was a defacto pardon. The Pardon Board repeatedly turned down his pardon requests. Mike Huckabee put the screws to the parole board and they caved.

Parole, Pardon... This girl is still dead and it is because of the actions of Mike Huckabee.

You have just been bamboozled by Slick Mikey.

Huck PLANNED to give this creep clemency. When he made that known, there was a public outcry. So to accomplish his ends while remaining politically viable, he engaged in what you might call strategic buck-passing. He decided to arrange for someone else to sign the papers.

He reneged on the clemency and moved instead to get him paroled. That way it wouldn't be done under his signature. Very clever. But the fact remains that had it not been for Huck's pressure on the parole board, DuMond would have stayed in prison and two people would not have been brutally murdered.

Huck was suckered by this guy because he claimed to have found Jesus.

The Huckster probably lied on Laura Ingram and she didn’t do her homework. Scroll down to page 3 of 12. Read the paragraph that starts with In accordance.... It is the next to last paragraph on page 3. The Huckster can lie all he wants but he definitely had something to do with the parole. He could have even denied parole. He denial is stated in Arkansas law if he wants to. It was simple.

Huckabee did put pressure on it. I saw a member interviewed who contradicted what Huckabee stated. Huckabee has ended up a liar on this topic.
