JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — Outgoing Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour has pardoned four convicted murderers who worked as inmate trusties at the Governor’s Mansion.
Relatives of three of the victims told The Associated Press that corrections officials notified them Saturday.
Barbour’s office hasn’t responded to numerous messages. Barbour, a Republican, leaves office on Tuesday.
Copies of the pardons filed with the Mississippi Secretary of State’s office were released Monday. They show how Barbour pardoned five men, the convicted killers and a man serving life for robbery.
