I don''t understand our system. The courts spend thousands of dollars to convict someone and all it takes is some Governor or President to say hey, it''s ok, let him go??? Why bother having a Judge, Jury, or a Parole Board if that''s all it takes. And 5 murders?? I wonder how many pot smokers in Miss.are sitting in jail right now awaiting parole?? I guess the place to kill your girlfriend is Mississippi! I think Republicans have convinced themselves they are God, just ask Bush who let a prosecutors spend countless hours and thousands of dollars proving Scooter Libby was guilty and then a Judge and Jury confirmed it just to let him off scott free. It truly is unbelievable. I hope this guy or the other 4 murders this %u201Ctrusted servant%u201D let go don%u2019t kill again but if they do, I hope they take Gov. Haley Barbour down with them. Our justice system is a joke!! Next this guy will be letting child molesters out but he doesn%u2019t care his term limit is over in two years%u2026

"Barbour issued an "indefinite suspension of sentence," said Pete Smith, a spokesman for the governor. The suspension can be reversed."

smart move--by a man who is obviously being blackmailed or extorted. By making the decision reversible, he still holds a sword over the killers head--so if the killer ever rats him out--back to prison he will go. The two are now extorting each other. The public better wonder just what the governor could have done, that would allow a con to put him in the position he is now in.

Is this some kind of judicial government plan, to reduce the earths'' excess population? Instead of hanging murderers, just let them go, so they can keep murdering and murdering again, and again? Where is Judge Roy Bean?

This is B.S. We see everyday evidence of killers and rapists who are not kept in prison where they belong go out and victomize more innocent people upon release. These killers will kill again. It''s just a matter of time. And this governor gave them the chance. Why can''t we put this governor in jail if he''s proven wrong? After all he is putting innocent people''s lives on the line with his decision?

The governor probably had no choice. While working as a trustee, the con probably found some incriminating evidence against the gov and told him either to commute his sentence or be exposed. Naturally, like most politicians, the gov would rather put the public at risk than be exposed and lose his office. Sort of like Congress failing to impeach Bush because with is wireless tapping program, he has stuff on most of them. LOL

What''s the point of sentencing violent killers in the courts? Just give the verdict to the governor and let him decide if he/she deserves to serve time. That''s what he''s doing, anyway, so let him get paid for it and stop wasting the court''s time.

Wife beaters, abusive men, do NOT change. They just put on their mask and wait for the next victim to fall into their clutches. Any woman who''s lived in the home with an abuser needs to speak up and stop idiocy that sets men like this one free.

The propaganda system has had the pretense that the two parties were not really one-"law& order B S " was part of the scam.

It''s good for a convicted murderer to have friends in high place.
