Even his own previously loyal Republican peers have expressed bewilderment. The top Republican in the state senate has called for an investigation of Bevin’s “extreme pardons and commutations”.

Mitch McConnell, the US senator from Kentucky better known as the Republican trying to stymie Trump’s impeachment trial in Congress, has denounced the release of “heinous criminals” in his home state as “inappropriate”.

As intrepid local journalists began to dig into the mountain of pardoned cases, other apparent horrors emerged.

They included further sexual offenders. Dayton Jones, who Bevin set free after three years of a 15-year sentence, had pleaded guilty to raping a boy aged 15 whose bowel he ruptured with a sex toy. Charles Phelps had his name removed from the sex offender registry by Bevin having pleaded guilty in 2013 to child abuse images offences and sexual conduct with minors.

The gruesome details of the violent crimes committed by some of those selected for commutation did not stop there. Delmar Partin was convicted of beheading a female co-worker and hiding her mutilated body in a barrel; Irvin Edge had hired a hitman to murder his business partner at home in front of his family; Blake Walker had killed his own parents.

Having said that, I struggle to compute any parent being able to condone a child rapist being acquitted when the child is living and of age to testify. Had I been the parent, I would certainly now be on trial for a double homicide.

A hymen being intact means nothing where child abuse us concerned and it's a worry that the people in this thread saying it is being politicised seem to be the people on the side.of the accused. He has politics on his side ffs..... and has been pardoned for dubious at best reasons.

The child in the middle of it is the person who my heart goes out to.....

On a side note....Lime, your personal experiences are horrific and my love comes to you :love:

The simple fact is that the people who are defending this governor's repeated actions would not do so if he was a democrat but the rest of us still would because he's overturning rulings on convicted child predators.

Law & Order shouldn't be a partisan issue, what this governor has done is beyond wrong and when you've got other republicans and even ****ing Moscow Mitch calling him out, you know it's indefensible.
