yessss!!! will they be able to lock the bastards back up? ( i doubt it. )
edit: shit. now only 21 pardons are blocked.
CNN
A Mississippi judge has issued a temporary injunction that forbids the release of pardoned prisoners, a move that comes after outgoing Gov. Haley Barbour pardoned 199 people.
Of the 199 people that Barbour pardoned on his way out of office, 14 were convicted murderers. Several convicted murderers have already been released.
Attorney General Jim Hood is asking Hinds County Circuit Judge Tomie Green to block the release of inmates pardoned by outgoing Gov. Haley Barbour, saying the state Constitution has been violated in at least some cases.
Under that Constitution, a legal notice of plans to pardon must be published 30 days prior to the pardon.
Hood said his office has discovered that no notice was published in some cases, in other cases not published before 30 days and in some cases, published on time.
“Unfortunately our research has revealed that Gov. Barbour violated the Constitution,” Hood said. “We’re seeking to stop the release of any prisoners.”
Barbour’s pardoning of nearly 200 people has prompted an uproar among victims’ families and others.
Five former inmates, four of them serving life sentences for murder, have already been released.
Hood said he’s asking for the court to serve them notices until a hearing can be held.

Can someone help me understand this? What does this guy get out of pardoning convicts? Does he get cash from the convicts under the table? Blow jobs? What could it possibly do for him? There has got to be some reason for doing it.....not that any reason would be excusable. WHY?!?!?

Jackson, Mississippi (CNN) -- Mississippi's attorney general said Thursday that the state may have to issue a nationwide manhunt after four pardoned murderers left jail and "hit the road running."
"We'll catch 'em. It's just a matter of time," Attorney General Jim Hood told CNN.
The four were among nearly 200 convicted criminals to whom Gov. Haley Barbour granted clemency or a pardon in a final act before leaving office this week.
The governor's actions have set off a legal firestorm in Mississippi.
A judge issued a temporary injunction Wednesday forbidding the release of any more prisoners. And the process of releasing 21 other inmates has been halted, said Hood, who believes the former governor put people at risk and sought the court order.
The pardons include the four convicted murderers and a convicted armed robber who were released Sunday. The five now must contact prison officials on a daily basis as their fate is adjudicated, but their whereabouts are unknown, Hood said.
A court hearing on the matter will be held January 23.
Hood said the state cannot issue an arrest warrant for the five who were released because they have not committed a crime.
"We have not found any law that will support that," Hood told CNN. "They have a legal document saying they are free to go.
"There are some tough legal issues we are trying to address," he said. "This is such a unique problem that no law has ever had to address yet. We're having to make new law here."
well which is it?? can they haul them back in or not?? yes, they are setting precedent. i hope it overthrows that old good ol' boy bullshit.

here's a video of one of the murderers.

CNN
McCray said he had his own room at the mansion, spending three years there after serving in prison without any disciplinary problems. During his time in Jackson, he said, he did odd jobs like housekeeping, washing cars and cooking and conversed regularly with Barbour.
McCray: "I did housekeeping. Shined door knobs. Washed cars and stuff like that. I cooked with the chef. That's it."
He added that it was understood that trusties had a much higher chance of getting pardons than those in the general prison population, though he insisted that the two never talked about clemency.
"He treated us like we were his children," McCray said.
spoken like a good house nigger.

i'll be waiting for the outcome of this today:
(CNN) -- Four convicted murderers who were released from prison earlier this month after receiving pardons are among those who could have their fate determined in a Mississippi court Monday.
In his final days in office, Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour pardoned the four convicted murderers -- David Gatlin, Joseph Ozment, Charles Hooker and Anthony McCray.
At the Monday hearing, the judge can void the pardons and send the inmates back to prison, take a ruling under advisement or free them.
JACKSON, Miss. -- The Mississippi attorney general's office says it has not been able to find one of the five former inmates who worked as trusties at the Governor's Mansion and were pardoned by Haley Barbour during his final days as governor.
Hinds County Circuit Judge Tomie Green ordered the five trusties to appear in court Monday, but authorities haven't located Joseph Ozment. He was convicted in 1994 of killing a man during a robbery.
Green scheduled a 3 p.m. CST hearing to consider arguments from Attorney General Jim Hood, who's challenging some of Barbour's pardons on the grounds that they failed to meet the state constitutional requirement of publishing a legal notice for 30 days in a local newspaper.

Attorney general: Pardoned murderer found in Wyoming
[Updated at 2:17 p.m. ET] Joseph Ozment, a convicted murderer who was pardoned this month in a controversial move by outgoing Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour, has been found in Wyoming, Mississippi Attorney General Jim Hood announced Monday.
Ozment was served at a hotel in Laramie, Wyoming, where he had been staying under another name, his office said.
"As our officers attempted service, Mr. Ozment fled in his girlfriend's vehicle but not before the vehicle made contact with one of our investigators," Hood said in a press release. "That is when our officers asked for the assistance of the Laramie Police Department. Mr. Ozment returned to the hotel on foot and ended up signing receipt of service in the presence of our two officers and two with the Laramie Police Department."
Ozment is one of four convicted murderers Barbour pardoned early this month. He did not appear at a court hearing in a case challenging the pardons. Hood said previously officials wanted to serve Ozment with a document telling him to appear in court.

not surprising, and he's probably headed for mexico anyway.
(CNN) -- A Wyoming attorney representing a convicted murderer recently pardoned by Mississippi's outgoing governor says his client will not attend a Mississippi Supreme Court hearing this week on the constitutionality of his and some 200 other pardons.
"He's not going to go," Cheyenne, Wyoming, attorney Robert Moxley said of his client, Joseph Ozment.
"He's not a fugitive and there's no valid order that says he needs to appear," Moxley told CNN.
On Thursday, the Mississippi Supreme Court will hear arguments brought by Mississippi Attorney General Jim Hood challenging the legality of scores of pardons issued by outgoing Gov. Haley Barbour.

another bunch of senile good-old-boy assclowns:
(CNN) -- Mississippi's Supreme Court on Thursday upheld the controversial pardons of more than 200 convicts that former Gov. Haley Barbour granted on his way out of office, rejecting a challenge by the state's attorney general.
In a 77-page, 6-3 ruling Thursday afternoon, the court found the pardons "may not be set aside or voided by the judicial branch." Attorney General Jim Hood had argued that no proper notice had been posted in newspapers, but the court found the final decision rested "solely with the governor."
"We are mindful that the victims and their families are entitled to be interested in the subject matter of this case, and they are undoubtedly -- and understandably -- concerned with its outcome," Justice Jess Dickinson wrote for the majority. But in the cases before them, "It fell to the governor alone to decide whether the Constitution's publication requirement was met."
Randy Walker, who survived a shooting by one of the men who was freed, told CNN sister network HLN that he was "totally in shock."
Gov. Barbour pardons upheld by court
"I thought it was pretty clear-cut that the constitution pretty clearly says one thing, and the justices went another way, as did Barbour," Walker said.
In a statement issued Thursday afternoon, Barbour said the court "reaffirmed more than a century of settled law in our state," but acknowledged that his decision "has been difficult" for many of the inmates' victims.
But in a dissenting opinion, Justice Michael Randolph called the decision "a stunning victory for some lawless convicted felons, and an immeasurable loss for the law-abiding citizens of our state."

good job governor...the chickens are coming back to bite you in the ass.
(CNN) -- One of the men controversially pardoned earlier this year by Mississippi's outgoing governor could land back behind bars after being charged with driving drunk and causing an accident that killed an 18-year-old woman.
A Pontotoc County, Mississippi, grand jury has charged Harry Bostick with drunken driving leading to a death, felony drunken driving and fleeing the scene of an accident where a death occurred, according to the indictment filed on Thursday and obtained Monday by CNN. The accident happened in October.
If convicted, Bostick could be sentenced to at least 30 years in prison.
His attorney did not respond immediately to a call on Monday for comment.
After the charges were handed up, Bostick turned himself in and a judge set bail at $50,000, Paul Howell from the Pontotoc County prosecuting attorney's office said. The 56-year-old posted bond on Friday and was released, according to official online records.
This isn't Bostick's first-run in with the law in Mississippi. He was convicted of felony drunken driving in March 2009, soon after having been convicted in July 2008 and November 2008 for drunken driving.
The former Internal Revenue Service investigator was one of nearly 200 convicted criminals, including four murderers, whom Gov. Haley Barbour pardoned shortly before leaving office earlier this year. The pardons elicited an uproar, with Attorney General Jim Hood leading a charge to overturn them. But after legal challenges, they were upheld.
Bostick was still going through a court-mandated drug rehab program when he applied for his pardon last summer. On September 30, the Mississippi Parole Board sent its review of Bostick's application to Barbour, recommending a full pardon in a 3-2 vote.
A week later, on October 7, Bostick was driving under the influence again, according to the Mississippi Highway Patrol. Charity Smith attempted to pull out onto a highway just outside Tupelo when Bostick's truck slammed into the side of her car, the patrol says.
Smith was killed, and her older sister suffered serious injuries. Bostick was jailed for violating his probation from his previous DUI cases.
In the grand jury indictment, Bostick is accused of "willfully, unlawfully and feloniously" driving while intoxicated; refusing to immediately stop or give his name, address or registration; and having "negligently" caused Smith's death.
When he received the pardon in January, the convicted DUI felon still sat in an Oxford, Mississippi, jail cell, awaiting formal charges for the arrest tied to that case.
Barbour had said that he wasn't aware of Bostick's October 2011 DUI arrest when he chose to pardon him.
But e-mails obtained by CNN show that the governor's office did, in fact, know about it.
