“Dear Wayne,” Huckabee wrote in a letter to Dumond. “My desire is that you be released from prison. I feel that parole is the best way for your reintroduction to society to take place.”

That prefaces Huckabee explaining to him, that he could not grant him a commutation, since he would not be supervised. And whether that was sugar-coating it a bit for Dumond, or simply stated the facts, the conclusion is the same. Huckabee refused comutation -- at least three times.

Feel free to provide the context.

It's amazing what "conservatives" will do -- especially when they get to South Carolina.

And then he pardoned 3 times the combined number of criminals that the governors from the states bordering Arkansas pardoned during his tenure.

This man has no comon sense.

He has a liberal's bleeding heart and tries to cover that with his false cloak of Christianity.

Here’s one context...Read the letters from the women victims who were raped by Dumond and who pleaded with the parole board that Dumond not be released..Letters which Huckabee received- and ignored...
