He commuted his sentence to 47 years with the possibility of parole he didn't pardon the man.For those wondering what I was speaking of;
A man convicted of robbery (and maybe something else) was sentenced to 95 years in prison at age 17. Huckabee granted clemency six or seven years later. The man returned to crime and was returned to prison.
Then he was released, came to Washington state, was arrested and charged with assault on an officer and child rape, then let loose on bail.
Then he went to a coffee shop south of Seattle and killed four police officers sitting there at 8:15 in the morning.
Last night he was shot and killed by a cop in Seattle.
