Here's a piece on Huckabee's pardon record. It's really quite astonishing.

I'm actually curious as to whether, given Huckabee's background, there is any correlation between a prisoner's claim of religious conversion and Huckabee's pardon. Given the very significant role of religion in prisons, it could be that most appeals for clemency or pardon include claims of religious conversion but I'd be interested in knowing whether for instance, there is a difference between the percentage of pardons given by Huckabee to prisoners claiming Christian versus Muslim conversion. I've read that the recent cop killer claimed a special relationship with Jesus.
