I was very disappointed in Haley Barbour over those pardons.
I guess he will go back to being a lobbyist.

So four convicts now owe a former governor / future lobbyist a HUGE favor. I'm sure nothing could possibly go wrong with that.

As with so many other things, pardons started off as a good idea and that has been put to corrupted purposes over the ages.

Government pardons are the last ditch hope when money and power can't get you out of trouble.

This is what happens when idiots are given FULL authority to perform pardons.

"(CNN) -- In his last days in office, outgoing Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour pardoned four men convicted of murder, a state official said Monday.
David Gatlin, Joseph Ozment, Charles Hooker and Anthony McCray received full pardons and were released at 1 p.m. Sunday, said Suzanne Singletary, spokeswoman for the Mississippi Department of Corrections. All four were serving life sentences and worked as trusties at the governor's mansion, she said.
"It is at any governor's discretion," said Singletary."

i'm not seeing the issue here....do you hold the same disdain for the pardoning powers when someone that shouldn't be locked up is pardoned?
No surprise.
