That's jut the kind of case that the pardon power was made for.<br /><br />Hood doesn't impress me, but I'm afraid part of your distress is due to Barbour's cavalier handling of the pardons process. He could've followed the rules, dotted some i's, crossed some t's, and there would've been no legal issue whatsoever. It's still a mystery to me why he didn't do that.<br /><br />Regardless, best wishes -- I will be very surprised if Hood's motion can flip two justices' votes, which is what it would take for them to reverse themselves.Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02325205512110155291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4841866593898210279.post-22696540173761155312012-03-26T22:00:37.412-05:002012-03-26T22:00:37.412-05:00Just when I thought that this was over with! I was...Just when I thought that this was over with! I was committed non-violent crime back in 1991 when I was 18 years old. Never been able to vote until now when Gov. Barbour gives me a pardon. I was released in 97 and went to school, have a family and have been employed ever since. Trouble Free! Now this guy wants to take those rights away from me. I could see if I was still in jail or a murderer or a rapist but I'm not. I made bad descisions as a teen but now I'm almost 40 years of age with a family. It's almost like being punished all over again. Seems a bit cruel seeing that some of us who received pardons have turned our lives completely around.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
