Mississippi - While he seems to be okay with trying to save fetuses by giving them personhood rights, Mississippi governor Haley Barbour doesn't mind releasing convicted murderers who worked at his state-funded mansion.
The five men, who were supposed to serve life sentences, instead got a pardon from him during his last days in office. Four of them were murderers and the fifth was convicted of burglary and robbery.
One of the inmates who were pardoned is David Glenn Gatlin, who shot his wife to death while she held their baby in 1993. Her family found out on the seventh that the previous day he was free thanks to a victims' advocate group.
The other people who were pardoned and their crimes are:
Mmiddle school teacher Charles Hooker - Convicted in 1993 of killing the school's principal.
Anthony McCray - Convicted of murdering his wife in 2001.
Joseph Ozment - Convicted of murder in 1993 of murder, conspiracy, and armed robbery.
Nathan Kern - Convicted for burglary and robbery.
Some of the work the men did for the governor were kitchen duty, waiting tables, cleaning, and washing vehicles.
They aren't the only ones to be pardoned.
Governor Barbour wasn't available at the moment for any comment.
