Outgoing Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin commuted the sentence on Monday of a man who had been convicted of decapitating a woman and disposing of her body in a 55-gallon barrel.
Since his November defeat to Democrat Andy Beshear, Bevin has issued 428 pardons, many of them controversial. In addition to pardoning Partin, he has set free a convicted child rapist, a man convicted of murdering his parents, and a mother who tossed her newborn baby into the trash at a flea market, the Louisville Courier Journal reported. In addition, Bevin pardoned a man convicted in a 2014 home invasion and homicide whose brother had raised $21,500 for Bevin’s reelection campaign, the Courier Journal reported.
When Trump campaigned alongside Bevin on Nov. 4, the president praised him as being tough on crime and supportive of gun rights.
“He’s such a pain in the ass, but that’s what you want!” Trump had exclaimed.
