Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee granted clemency to a violent felon who would later gun down four police officers even though his record in prison was filled with unrelenting violence and exploitation of other inmates, The Seattle Times reported today.
A Times investigation into the early life of Maurice Clemmons found that Huckabee either ignored or wasn’t aware of Clemmons’ record in prison and that the prosecutor and victims in Clemmons’ case were not consulted before decisions were made.
Huckabee, a Fox News TV personality and a potential candidate for the Republican nomination for president in 2012, declined interview requests from The Times.
