Default Re: Mike Huckabee, rape, and politics

[ QUOTE ]
Since he's running for President, I thought more people should know about Mike Huckabee letting a convicted rapist go free because of who his victim was related to (and the consequences): Arkansas Times article

Cliff's Notes:
Distant cousin of Bill Clinton's gets raped.
Rapist Wayne Dumond is convicted and sent to prison.
Wingnuts raise hell because a Clinton was involved, so there must be a conspiracy somewhere.
Huckabee leans on the parole board (appointed by him) to cut Dumond loose, and they do.
Dumond murders a woman 2 years later.

A theory that someone was given a harsher sentence because he committed a sexual crime and was related to Clinton is barely plausible. Light treatment because the victim was related to Clinton? Asinine
