Haley Barbour: “I have no doubt in my mind that these men have repented, have been redeemed, have come back hard working to prepare…”

What makes this Harry Bostick's case so stunning is that he was pardoned by Mississippi's outgoing governor, Haley Barbour.

These were decisions based on repentance, rehabilitation, and redemption, leading to forgiveness and the right defined and given by the state constitution to the governor to offer such people a second chance.

That's why we have the power of pardon because we really do believe in second chances for people who get rehabilitated.

The power of pardon and state is to give people a second chance who have repented, rehabilitated and redeemed themselves.
