PARDON POLITICS IN TENNESSEE SPURS OUTCRY
The article reports Gov. Patterson granting pardons to many prisoners while critics accuse him of political favoritism. It cites 378 pardons and describes opposition from religious groups over a custody case involving a six year old girl and a dispute between the King's Daughters and the Cockrell family. It portrays pardons as leveraging votes and criticizes clemency for violent crimes. The piece notes Patterson’s oustanding influence with Bancroft Murray and argues the mercy undermines public safety.
