Cop Killing Re-opens Huckabee's Clemency Record: "LITTLE ROCK, Ark. -- As governor of Arkansas, Mike Huckabee had a hand pardoning or commuting many more prisoners than his three immediate predecessors combined. Maurice Clemmons, the suspect in Sunday's slaying of four Seattle-area police officers, was among them.
For a politician considering another run for the White House, Clemmons could become Huckabee's Willie Horton.
'In a primary between a law-and-order Republican and him, I think it could definitely be a vulnerability,' said Art English, a political scientist at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock. 'It is very damaging when you have someone like that whose sentence was commuted. That's pretty high profile and very devastating and very tragic.'"
