Bevin pardons a KY man convicted of beheading a woman and stuffing her in a barrel

It’s not clear if Betty Carnes was killed by asphyxiation or by the eight blows to her head that Delmar Partin delivered with a metal pipe. The coroner couldn’t tell which killed the mother of three first, but it was very clear that her head was then chopped off and placed on her lap in a 55-gallon barrel that was destined for a toxic waste site.

On Monday, departing Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin pardoned and commuted the sentence of Partin, who was convicted of killing her at the factory where they both worked in Barbourville in 1994.

The pardon was just one of several controversial pardons and commutations Bevin issued in his final days in office. The list includes several in Handy’s old district, including a teacher, Charles Doug Phelps, who pleaded guilty to possession of child pornography and tampering with a witness. In his pardon, Bevin called the conviction “long on duration, long on accusation, long on drama and short on evidence.”

The police found photos of minors performing sexual acts on Phelps’ phone.

This is ghoulish. No wonder Trump supported Bevin.

Kentucky, you did well, throwing this one out! I hope USA follows suit with Trump.

Damn, even McConnell is calling Bevin’s 428 (!!!) pardons “completely inappropriate.”

One the murderers he pardoned had family members hold a fundraiser which wiped out all his campaign debt:

Lawmakers are calling for a special prosecutor to look into the pardons. The victims of these criminals and their family members are angry.

He is an ahole, so no other reason needed. Except one of them had family who gave him thousands of dollars.

Is there any non-white among the about 428 criminals pardoned by Bevin? Democrats should tie Trump and Bevin together in 2020 TV ads, at least in mid-west states, to show what kind of people Trump campaigns for.

Trump approves only the finest, like himself.

This is why normal people should not vote for psychopaths. Not for fake tax cuts, the ridiculous wall or the unqualified judges for life!

This is why normal people should be vigilant. So criminals like this a$$wipe and Trump are NEVER elected again.

These ppl are unconscionable.

Again, another thread the con trolls don't post on.
Don't you love seeing republican governor's release all those killers who will probably go out and buy all sorts of illegal guns and ammo?
