Huckabee frees Washington cop killer

[Procrustes Stretched]

What he fails to mention is that after Huckabee pardoned him, he was imprisoned again...and paroled early.

two wrongs always make a rightie happy.

blaming rightie, no matter how weak the argument always make a leftie happy .......

naw, I blame the left too. I left the Democratic party because of left wing kooks. If some here had principles they'd leave the crazed GOP after it's been taken over by a bunch of alarmist lunatics.

 

[driveby]

So we all agree, Huck is a killer. Fox can have him.

end yourself .......

 

[Yurt]

If a Dem or a liberal or a moderate were in the shoes of good old Huck, the whacked out right here and elsewhere would be wetting themselves with delight.

The fuckin' stories about this guy are friggin' unbelievable. Then Huck goes public blaming the parole board.

The ownership society guys are too fuckin' funny.

who released him from prison, huckabee or the parole board?

Huckabee pardoned him. He committed more crimes and was imprisoned again, and then was released by the parole board.

huckabee did not pardon him, that is absolutely false

and thanks for admitting huckabee did not release him the most recent time, the parole board did....

 

[Yurt]

Your defense of huck is as bad as Huck's defense of Huck.

Just sad.

He let a killer loose. Republican, fox show and a indirectly a killer.

that is a lie, huckabee did not release him

lies never bothered this idiot and they won't start to now .........

huckabee did not release him in 2004, that is false

You were the one that said "it all started with....". Where does life start? Idiot. After release from jail or before?

Your defense of huck is as bad as Huck's defense of Huck.

Just sad.

This was what the 'kid' Huck let out was like.

In 1990, Clemmons, then 18, was sentenced in Arkansas to 60 years in prison for burglary and theft of property, according to a news account in Arkansas Democrat-Gazette. Newspaper stories describe a series of disturbing incidents involving Clemmons while he was being tried in Arkansas on various charges.

During one trial, Clemmons was shackled in leg irons and seated next to a uniformed officer. The presiding judge ordered the extra security because he felt Clemmons had threatened him, court records show.

Another time, Clemmons hid a hinge in his sock, and was accused of intending to use it as a weapon. Yet another time, Clemmons took a lock from a holding cell, and threw it toward the bailiff. He missed and instead hit Clemmons' mother, who had come to bring him street clothes, according to records and published reports.

On another occasion, Clemmons had reached for a guard's pistol during transport to the courtroom.

When Clemmons received the 60-year sentence, he was already serving 48 years on five felony convictions and facing up to 95 more years on charges of robbery, theft of property and possessing a handgun on school property. Records from Clemmons' sentencing described him as 5-foot-7 and 108 pounds. The crimes were committed when he was 17.

Clemmons served 11 years before being released.

News accounts say Huckabee commuted Clemmons' sentence, citing Clemmons' young age at the time the crimes were committed.

Huck saw the files...or did he? Was he only relying on the voice of Jesus?

Chances are that Huck didn't read the file. The Sixth Circuit Court recommended him, Huck approved.

What makes him any different than any other politician, left or right?

 

[Procrustes Stretched]

Actually, it all started when his parents decided to have kid. Using your convoluted logic, you should blame the parents of the person that pulled the trigger.

So the parents pardoned him and allowed him to kill those police officers and rape that child?

I think that is a stretch sir. Huck let him out. Period. We had him in prison for 90 years and huck let him out.

PERIOD.

I am willing to bet a dollar Fox keeps Huck on their schedule. He fits in nicely there.

Huck did not let him out. Period. The Parole Board did. Period.

So the whole cycle started with huck. If he hadnt started, this guy would still be in. We agree then.

There was no pardon by Huckabee in this case.

Nine years ago, then-Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee granted clemency to Clemmons, commuting his lengthy prison sentence over the protests of prosecutors.

what is your point? why are you so excited about this? do you think this proves something?

he wasn't pardoned, that is factual

 

[AllieBaba]

"Clemmons served only part of a 35-year prison sentence in Arkansas before it was commuted in 2000 by then governor Mike Huckabee, who sought the Republican presidential nomination in 2008.

"After his release Clemmons committed two armed robberies and a string of other crimes which earned him another 10 year sentence. He was later paroled and moved to Washington state."

I'm not defending him. Who pulled the trigger? Are you this stupid in real life?

Serious question, would that guy have had access to a gun if Huck hadnt been huck and did what he did?

We had him in prison for 90 some odd years and then comes Huck.

So I ask again, did huck have anything to do with those cops being killed?

If you say no, then I ask you, are you that "stupid in real life"?

You continue to persist in your accusation the Mr Huckabee is the killer.
Do you know anything about law, anything?

 

[saveliberty]

Huckabee is a reasonable person. I sincerely doubt he would have released anyone he considered a serious threat to society. Somebody prepared a list of people who it was felt may merit such treatment. Reasons were given both pro and con to that possibility. A decision was made.

Giving some of these folks a second chance may be a good idea. When that chance is squandered, they should go back to prison. This person was given eight more chances, which is nine more than four police officer were given.

Clemmons was not pardoned in Washington was he? Huckabee, a christian conservative nitwit keeps blaming others. The commutation was the Governor's to make.

Nine years ago, then-Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee granted clemency to Clemmons, commuting his lengthy prison sentence over the protests of prosecutors.

"This is the day I've been dreading for a long time," Larry Jegley, prosecuting attorney for Arkansas' Pulaski County said tonight when informed that Clemmons was being sought for questioning in connection with the killings.

Clemmons' criminal history includes at least five felony convictions in Arkansas and at least eight felony charges in Washington. The record also stands out for the number of times he has been released from custody despite questions about the danger he posed.

Huckabee, who ran for the Republican presidential nomination last year, issued a statement tonight calling the slaying of the police officers "a horrible and tragic event."

If Clemmons is found responsible, "it will be the result of a series of failures in the criminal justice system in both Arkansas and Washington State," Huckabee said.

He added that Clemmons' release from prison had been reviewed and approved by the Arkansas parole board.

Clemmons had been in jail in Pierce County for the past several months on a pending charge of second-degree rape of a child. He was released from custody just six days ago, even though was staring at seven additional felony charges in Washington state.
