Here's another excerpt from the Christian Science Monitor:
"Among those pardoned were Karen Irby, a Jackson socialite convicted of killing two doctors in a DUI-related crash, Ernest Favre, the brother of ex-NFL great Brett Favre, who killed his best friend in a 1997 drunk driving accident, and David Gatlin, a convicted wife-murderer who had earned good-behavior points by working as a trustee at the governor's mansion. Four of those released this weekend had worked at the mansion."
Note of the four who worked at the Governor's mansion evidently only one was a convicted murderer. No doubt the other three were convicted of lessor crimes such as father-raping.
