Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour's Pardon 200 Spree

In his final days as Mississippi governor, Republican Haley Barbour gave pardons or early releases to nearly 200 people, including more than two dozen whose crimes were listed as murder, manslaughter or homicide.

State records released Tuesday show some of the convicted killers were pardoned, while others were given medical or conditional releases. Barbour had released five other convicted killers in 2008. One of them had been granted a conditional release and was pardoned this time.
