There were a total of 5 people involved in the crime. He only pardoned the shooter who happened to be the brother of his big donors. The party of law and order y'all.

Patrick Brian Baker was convicted in 2017 of reckless homicide, robbery, impersonating a peace officer, and tampering with physical evidence.

Baker was one of five people charged in the violent home invasion that happened in May of 2014 in the Scalf community, resulting in the death of Donald Mills.

In that trial, prosecutors made the argument that Baker was the man who pulled the trigger, killing Mills when he and the other suspects, pretending to be police officers, burst into the home. Others waited in a car outside the house.

In the pardon, Bevin wrote that Baker "made a series of unwise decisions in his adult life," said his drug addiction ultimately led to his conviction.

Bevin called the evidence in the case "sketchy at best."

Kentucky has one of the most corrupt legislature’s in the country. Conservatives love corrupt disgusting grifters and the state is one of the least educated and most unhealthy in the union. Perfect place for someone like Bevin to swoop in and just copy Trump at a state level. He also pardoned a convicted pedophile who raped his step daughter

Said it in another thread. It’s not a coincidence that the poorest, sickest, most violent, most corrupt, and dumbest states vote red. Any time you hear someone argue both sides or why not vote for these guys, just point to the state that all the southern states are in. Third world levels of corruption.

Why did this US governor pardon child rapists and brutal killers?

Most of the lucky 428 singled out by Bevin were non-violent. When the Courier Journal came to analyse the beneficiaries of his largesse, the paper found that 336 of them were on non-violent drug sentences.

But therein lay another discrepancy. Within that group, 95% were white. That’s in a state in which 20% of inmates on drug convictions are African American or from some other minority community.

The newspaper calculated there were almost 1,000 black or other minority prisoners who would have qualified for Bevin’s largesse. He chose 16.
