"The inmates are David Gatlin, convicted of killing his estranged wife in 1993; Joseph Ozment, convicted in 1994 of killing a man during a robbery; Anthony McCray, convicted in 2001 of killing his wife; Charles Hooker, sentenced to life in 1992 for murder; and Nathan Kern, sentenced to life in 1982 for burglary after at least two prior convictions.
The pardons outraged victims' relatives as well as Democratic lawmakers, who called for an end to the custom of governors' issuing such end-of-tenure pardons".
Former Miss. Governor Haley Barbour pardons over 200-including rapists and murders-and he's at peace with himself.
WOW, just WOW.

Ex-Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour says he’s ‘very comfortable’ with end-of-term pardons - The Washington Post (http://www.washingtonpost.com/national/ex-mississippi-gov-haley-barbour-says-hes-very-comfortable-with-end-of-term-pardons/2012/01/13/gIQACv6twP_story.html - broken link)
it is so strange, when u send them to jail they boo at you for being so mean. when u pardon them they boo at u for being such a pushover. not an easy crowd to please are they?
Of special concern is his lack of concern for domestic violence. At least two of the convicted murderers killed in a domestic violence situation. The Taliban has nothing on Barbour!

Barbour did not send them to jail, the justice system in America did (that being a jury trial)!
All outgoing politicians practice the same thing, picking on a Republican really shows your ignorance.
What is even more ignorant is all the reactions when ALL the facts were not out yet.
All the know-it-alls jump at the first hint of any repub doing something their own dem politicians do.
He was just interview and explained the actions.
I wouldn't say they should look it up and watch because they wouldn't anyway.
