RS>> That's eight felony convictions that never should have happened.


TR> The guy had so many felony convictions he should have been doing life
TR> without parole after number three.


RS>Well, he's dead now.


RS>As to follow-up, I think anyone who aided him, (like his sister is alleged
RS>to have given him money, drove him around, and bandaged him up,) should be
RS>charged as an accesory to 4 murders.


There are some who will be prosecuted as accessories, including someone who
was driving the car he arrived at the shooting scene in, and escaped in.


RS>And all those who totally screwed up, letting this batshit-crazy thug out
RS>on the streets, should be held accountable.



RS>Including Pass-The-Buckabee.


RS>Pulaski County Prosecutor Larry Jegley, whose office opposed Clemmons'
RS>parole in 2000 and 2004, said Huckabee's comments were "red
herrings."


Huckabee was just one person in a long line of dis-connects in the case. There
were several stops along the way to Huckabee's desk in this guy's saga of
clemency and early release. The governor of a state is, like a president or
any other chief executive, reliant on the advise and knowledge of the people
he has under him.


As for Jegley, I'd look for him to be some sort of political rival of
Huckabee's.


As a matter of fact, Huckabee has already come out and taken responsibility
for his part in the dis-connect of information, tempered by wisdom, that took
a guy who had so many years in prison to serve he'd have been an old old man
before he got released, to someone who the entire system allowed to fall
through the cracks, and cost four cops their lives.


Someone in another echo (Lofaso, as a matter of fact) was just whining about
how terrible it is to put heavy sentences on individuals who are extremely
young at the time they commit their crime for which a big sentence is handed
down. In fact, Clemmons turns out to be a shining example of Lofaso not
knowing what the fuck he's talking about. (as usual!)


As a matter of fact, there have been so many cases all over the country prior
to this one that were `poster boy' examples  for ignoring clemency ideas in
this guy's case, it isn't even funny. After the second felony conviction, he
should have gotten a sentence that kept him in prison into his fifties at
least.


RS>"My word to Mr. Huckabee is man up and own what you did,"
Jegley said.


Huckabee has already done this. Jegley is blowing smoke. Probably a political
enemy of Huckabee's.
