PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — The former husband of a woman killed by Gary Haugen calls Gov. John Kitzhaber a coward for halting his execution.
Ard Pratt is a former Multnomah County sheriff’s deputy who had responded to the scene in 1981 after his ex-wife Mary Archer was raped and beaten to death.
Pratt and his daughter Kathy Pratt are among those who have followed Haugen’s case.
They talked to KGW Tuesday (http://is.gd/AEACVs ) and said the governor dismissed the law and the will of the people last week when he gave Haugen a reprieve.
