dd, I'm stunned you are not outraged over this horrific abuse of pardons considering there were rapists and murderers set free who will now have their records wiped clean.  They will be able to purchase firearms and not ever have to notify any of their crimes.

The Governor usurped and ignored many current state laws to accomplish this action, not to mention violating the trust and laws of his state.

 I have been following this closely and they include:

Not posting public notice of pending pardons thirty days prior to advise citizenry so public, victims and families could take action; per statutory guidelines murderers, et al. are not to be eligible to be Governor's trustees; Barbour lied about contacting living victims and families to notify and get their input, media and state attorney general's office could not identify any who were informed and the list goes on.

There are now victim's and witnesses who understandingly fear retribution from some of these 'pardoned criminals'.

There is nothing that can be done now by other courts, according to legal pros, even SCOTUS cannot take appeals.

These actions are beyond sick and wrong - the only positive takeaway from this is that now not only will his state be reviewing the pardon processes, but many other states will too.
