"If I could've known nine years ago, looked into the future, would I have acted favorably upon the parole board's recommendation?” Huckabee told Fox News Radio on Monday. “Of course not."

I wonder if he was referring to himself when he made that statement. Based on the second statement he is definitely kicking himself . The troubling thing to me outside of the suspects criminal history is that what Huckabee said. "If I could've know nine years ago, looked into the future"; that is precisely the reason why this man should not have had his sentence commuted, so that nine years into the future this very situation would not have occurred.

You have to wonder why the parole board recommended his pardon?
