How former Kentucky Gov. Bevin's pardons are affecting those convicted and the victims' families
By Veronica Stracqualursi and Natasha Chen, CNN
Published 8:22 AM EST, Thu December 19, 2019
Outgoing GOP governor pardons violent criminals
Former Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin was on his way out of office when he dropped a huge batch of pardons and commutations of sentences of hundreds of Kentuckians.
Bevin's final actions in office didn't become public until the Louisville Courier Journal reported on the high volume of pardons.
Governors and presidents pardon people throughout their tenures and often pardon many people as they leave office, too, but there was shock throughout the state over the sheer number of pardons filed, confusion within the secretary of state's office over exactly how many were signed and filed and outrage over some pardons for violent criminals.
According to the Kentucky secretary of state's website, as many as 161 pardons and 419 commutations of sentences were filed on December 11, including commutations for 336 people who were serving sentences solely for drug related charges.
Bevin, whose last day in office was December 9, said on Twitter that he "personally spent hundreds of hours reading every application and file" of those pardoned and "personally wrote every word of justification for each pardoned granted and each sentence commuted."
Uproar over the controversial pardons
There were accusations from critics that some of the pardons had been political in nature, which Bevin denied.
Bevin pardoned and commuted the sentence of Patrick Baker, who convicted of reckless homicide in 2017.
The Courier Journal reported that Baker's family had held a fundraiser and donated to Bevin's gubernatorial campaigns. Baker served two years of a 19-year sentence, while his co-defendants are still in prison, the newspaper reported.
In a joint statement provided to CNN on Monday, the Commonwealth's Attorneys' Association and the County Attorneys' Association said Bevin's "arbitrary, callous, and, in at least one case, seemingly corrupt, decision to pardon many violent felons on his way out of office was an abuse of his power."
Bevin responded on Twitter Friday, calling the allegations that he took politics into account "false."
"The myriad statements and suggestions that financial or political considerations played a part in the decision making process, are both highly offensive and entirely false…To repeat such uncorroborated rumors and lies is reprehensible," he said.
Attorney Elliot Slosar, of Loevy & Loevy, who represents Baker, said in a news conference Tuesday that Baker's pardon was "because DNA evidence clears him from the murder." He also said he believes there is an alternative suspect out there.
Baker said that his pardon "was a big surprise, like an early Christmas present."
Criticism over pardons for violent offenses
Others raised concerns over the pardons and commutations for people convicted for violent offenses – including cases of murder and rape.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell called Bevin's pardons "completely inappropriate," according to CNN affiliate WKYT.
"I expect (Bevin) had the power to do it, but looking at the examples of people who were incarcerated as a result of heinous crimes — no, I don't approve of it," the Kentucky Republican said, WKYT reported.
One such pardon that made headlines was for Delmar Partin, who was found guilty in 1994 in the death of Betty Carnes. In September 1993, Carnes disappeared from her job site at a manufacturing plant and her decapitated body was found in a barrel in the plant lab a day later, according to court documents.
Bevin wrote in his executive order that he's pardoning Partin "given the inability or unwillingness of the state to use existing DNA evidence to either affirm or disprove this conviction."
He commuted Partin's sentence from life to time served.
Bill Johnson, who was the lead defense attorney at Partin's 1994 trial, told CNN he was "delighted" to hear that Partin was pardoned because he had "always felt that there was certainly more than a reasonable doubt as to whether" Partin committed the offense. Johnson said he kept in contact with Partin over the years – though he has not spoken to him since the pardon – and said Partin didn't cause any trouble in prison. He also said a weapon was not found at the time of the trial and there was no evidence of blood on Partin's clothes despite the gruesome nature of the Carnes' death.
The former governor also pardoned and commuted the sentence of Micah Schoettle, convicted last year of raping a child and sentenced to 23 years in prison.
Prosecutor Rob Sanders of Kenton County told CNN on Friday that Schoettle, who is under his jurisdiction, was not in custody long enough to start sex offender treatment and argued that Schoettle's release puts other children in the area at risk.
CNN has reached out to Schoettle's attorney for comment.
Bevin on Twitter wrote "not one person receiving a pardon would I not welcome as a co-worker, neighbor, or to sit beside me or any member of my family in a church pew or at a public event."
CNN has reached out to Bevin and has not heard back.
'Many deserving people' pardoned
Kentucky Public Advocate Damon Preston, who was appointed by Bevin, argued that "many deserving people were helped by Governor Bevin's pardons."
"Aside from the uproar over a handful of cases, scores of Kentuckians are now quietly benefiting from non-controversial pardons of long-ago convictions," Preston wrote in an op-ed published in the Lexington Herald Leader Saturday.
In one executive order signed December 9, Bevin commuted the sentences for 336 inmates who are "solely serving" sentences for drug possession. A number of the pardons that Bevin issued are also for drug-related convictions.
The incarceration rate in Kentucky is higher than the national incarceration rate, according to the Prison Policy Initiative, a nonprofit think tank. Kentucky also held the second highest imprisonment rate for women in 2017, according to an April report from the Bureau of Justice Statistics.
Suzanne Hopf, the director of the Kentucky Innocence Project, told CNN on Monday that her organization had submitted to Bevin's office summaries of the cases they thought were the most deserving of a pardon or commutation about 10 days prior to the inauguration of the new governor.
The organization investigates and litigates cases of those serving prison sentences for crimes they may not have committed.
According to Hopf, Bevin had called some of the organization's clients to notify them that he would be granting them a pardon.
"I do think (Bevin's consideration) was perhaps with more reason and care than people assume," Hopf told CNN, noting that the volume of pardons and commutations is unusual.
She stressed that her clients who were pardoned had shown "several decades of good behavior" either in institutions or on home release on parole.
The organization's clients who were pardoned by Bevin were "beyond excited" when they received the news, Hopf said.
Kentuckian Johnetta Carr was pardoned by former Gov. Matt Bevin for a prior conviction in 2008. She spent roughly six years in jail for a crime she says she did not commit.

Johnetta Carr, who spent roughly six years in jail for a crime she says she did not commit, told CNN that being pardoned by Bevin was "the best moment of my life thus far."
Bevin called Carr to personally deliver the news that she would be among the many to receive a pardon, Carr said.
"That phone call changed my life," Carr recalled to CNN, getting emotional.
Bevin's executive order showed that Carr was convicted in 2008 of manslaughter, conspiracy to commit robbery, conspiracy to commit burglary and tampering with physical evidence. Carr said she was a teenager at the time when she was interrogated by police and coerced into a false confession, leading to her be convicted for the crime.
Hopf said there were a number of factors that made the Innocence Project believe that Carr had been wrongly convicted, including that several items that were recovered were not DNA tested.
"The nightmare's kind of over," Carr told CNN, adding that while she can never get back those years she spent incarcerated, she can now move on.
Carr now plans on returning to school and pursuing a bachelor's degree in criminal justice.
Victims' families were not notified
The news came as a shock to some of the families of the victims, who say they did not receive a heads up from the governor's office.
Erin Wright told CNN that receiving the news of Bevin's pardon of the man who killed her sister, Amber Rachford, in a drunk driving accident had "ripped the wound back open."
Gary Cooper III was convicted in 2008 for the death of Rachford, 27. Cooper and Rachford had been driving home from a baseball game in April 2007, when Cooper's car careened off the highway and struck a tree, according to local news reports at the time. Rachford died at the scene, news reports said. Later, accident investigation reports showed Cooper's blood alcohol level was well above the legal limit, local media reported.
"But still now it's as if it didn't happen. That my sister's life didn't matter. That it was so insignificant that his life can continue, as if nothing happened, as if he didn't take these actions that harmed our family so much," Wright told CNN in a phone interview Monday. Wright had found out about Cooper's pardon when CNN reached out to her.
Cooper "had turned his life around and has paid his debt to society," Bevin wrote in his pardon.
Wright disagreed with Bevin and said Cooper never apologized to her family.
"To turn him back loose and put him back on the road, it scares me to think that's he's out on the roads driving again," Wright said, adding, "I don't know if his behavior has changed."
Wright said the loss of her sister destroyed their family.
"(Amber) was just a really giving person. No one met her who didn't like her. She was just a happy, lighthearted person, fun person to be around," Wright said.
CNN has tried to reach Cooper for comment.
One family's story of forgiveness
A man pardoned by Bevin for the murder of his parents when he was a teenager, is being embraced by most members of the family, according to a cousin who spoke to CNN.
Barbara Peterson was killed along with her husband in 2002 by their then-16-year-old son. Their son, Blake Walker, then spent 17 years in prison before being pardoned by Bevin, according to Jim Peterson, Barbara's cousin.
Speaking through tears on the phone, Peterson told CNN he has "no doubt that Barbara, his mother, would be the happiest person involved, bar none. There's no way that she would not want her son to be home with family and to be in a safe place."
Peterson said his cousin and her husband were a joy to be around and had done a lot of work with nongovernmental organizations in third-world countries.
"(Barbara) was just the most delightful person in the world with a smile that lit up the room," Peterson said. "What they did in the third world is unbelievable."
Peterson said he can understand the grief of victims who are finding out their perpetrators have been set free, because for several years, "I wanted the worst to ever happen to that kid [Blake Walker], because he took away two people that were amazing."
But then Peterson said he received a letter from a professor who had taught Walker in prison, describing Walker as the best student he'd had in 34 years. The letter went on to describe Walker as a born leader.
Peterson said, "I thought, 'How could I feel so bitter and want revenge?… I've got something really wrong here. I need to talk to the family, and I need to understand this better.'"
Since then, he visited Walker in prison and became convinced that Walker showed a lot of promise for becoming a productive member of society. Peterson now advocates for rehabilitation and speaking against mass incarceration.
A pardon with unusual conditions
Michael Andrew Hardy, who killed Jeremy Pryor in a 2014 drunken driving accident, was pardoned by Bevin, on the condition that Hardy stay sober and speak about his crime and his victim six times per year.
Michael Andrew Hardy (pictured second from left) killed Jeremy Pryor in a 2014 drunk driving accident and was pardoned this year by former Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin.
Mary Leonard
While the governor's order specifically requires Hardy to share the name of Jeremy Pryor when he speaks to schools and churches, the Pryors do not want Hardy to ever mention their son's name.
"It's so inexplicable," said Alan Simpson, a representative of the Pryor family.
Regarding the required speaking engagements, Simpson added that "anytime that we can prevent a tragedy we should. An ounce of prevention, you know the old saying. It's a good thing in general, but in this particular case it's just done in poor taste by the governor."
Hardy served fewer than four years of his 20-year sentence. Simpson called it "a slap in the face."
Jeremy Pryor was killed in 2014 in a drunk driving accident by Michael Andrew Hardy. Hardy was pardoned this year by former Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin.
Alan Simpson
Mary Leonard, a friend and representative of Hardy, said Hardy truly wants to turn things around and make a positive impact on the world. She added that he is extremely committed to maintaining his sobriety and is "amazingly remorseful."
"(Hardy) would absolutely trade his life for Jeremy's, if it was an option to him," Leonard told CNN.
Leonard also said that Hardy had no previous criminal record before this incident.
CNN's Hollie Silverman, Rebekah Riess and Christina Maxouris contributed to this report.


PALO ALTO, Calif., July 30, 2015 — HP today announced the availability of a full suite of [Windows 10] services designed to help enterprises control costs while expediting the move to the new Microsoft operating system.
"HP's unique relationship with Microsoft allows us to offer Windows 10 in a controlled manner integrated into the client's world – giving both IT and the User the chance to experience the new operating system," said Eric Harmon, Senior Vice President, Global Practices & Transformation HP Enterprise Services.

For a researcher that spent the entire 1990s rolling through microfilm and slowly turning very fragile mounted 1700s newspapers, it is a relief and a joy to do meaningful searches of these papers with a search engine.

During the pandemic, the British digital database service Adam Mathew has offered free twelve-week trial subscriptions to the scanned documents of the Colonial Office 5 (CO 5) record series from the British National Archives at Kew. This series is the official correspondence between British commanding officers in America and officials in London, and includes casualty reports, provision and supply inventories, and strength returns of the British army. Except for the occasional snack break, I've been pretty much living there for the past few weeks!

My favorite online research collection is the Southern Campaigns Revolutionary War Pension Statements & Rosters website. The site contains over 25,000 transcribed Revolutionary War pension applications, rosters, and other documents there free of charge. It is the go-to place for anyone researching the individuals and military units that served in the southern states during the war. Many statements capture important details and individual exploits that would have been lost to history had there not been a pension system. (Also recommended by Conner Runyan and J. Brett Bennett)

I really like American Archives. It's online and free to use through Northern Illinois University. The collection was originally compiled by Peter Force (who was also the mayor of Washington, D.C.) in the mid-1800s. The collection covers the years 1774-1776 from many different angles, and contains the only surviving copy of many documents.

Being a fan of Thomas Paine, I use the digital collection of Paine's writings provided on the website of the Thomas Paine National Historical Association. https://www.thomaspaine.org. The association is digitizing all of Paine's writings, based initially on Philip Foner's Complete Writings of Thomas Paine.The TPNHA is also trying to determine just exactly what Paine wrote, and didn't, since some of his writings were written anonymously. Major works by Paine are easily accessible online these days from multiple sources. But lesser known and newly attributed materials are also available on the website, by year. Free to the public!

Probing the Past: Virginia and Maryland Probate Inventories, 1740-1810. A collaboration of George Mason's Gunston Hall and the Roy Rozensweig Center for History and New Media at George Mason University. If you want to know what people of the revolutionary era in Virginia and Maryland kept in their homes, and what material possessions they considered valuable, this is the place to find it.

Anyone dealing with naval topics relies on Naval Documents of the American Revolution (NDAR), published by the Naval History and Heritage Command. Begun in 1964 with volume 1 covering parts of 1774-1775 the effort reached volume 13 in 2019 covering parts of 1777-1778. The effort continues. (Also recommended by Eric Wiser and James Kirby Martin)

William S. Stryker, Documents Relating to the Revolutionary History of the State of New Jersey, Second Series, Vol. 1- 5 (Trenton: The J.L. Murphy Pub. Co., 1901 -1917). Series 2, was published at the request of the New Jersey Historical Society. This series contains extracts from American newspapers that are presented chronologically, from 1776 to 1782. These extracts contain everything from proclamations of the New Jersey's Provisional Government, reports on military activities to advertisements for the sale of prizes taken by privateers to rewards for runaway slaves or deserters. For anyone who is interested in New Jersey's Revolutionary history this series is invaluable.
With over six million digitized records, one of my first on-line research stops is the Harvard University Library Digital Collections. In addition to documents pertaining to almost all Revolutionary leaders, there is a special curated collection for the papers of Artemas Ward. One of the best attributes of the site is reading the original, not transcribed versions of documents. The inventive spelling of Israel Putnam is well worth the transcription trouble! The site is free to all including document downloads.

One resource that I have used extensively online is the Newspaper Archive section of GenealogyBank.com. I have successfully used it for research and to find interesting articles. A subscription is required, but it is well worth the expense.
Todd W. Braisted
The New York Public Library has a fantastic collection of images, maps and manuscripts on line, of particular note the Thomas Addis Emmet Collection, which includes pre, and post Revolution material, as well as a wealth of material on the war itself. And all free.
David McCullough once said, "The best part of being a historian is that you get to read other peoples' mail." Well, if reading the digitized letters of Washington, John Adams, Jefferson, Franklin, Hamilton and Madison are your thing, the greatest gift to Americans is the free-to-use website "Founders Online" of the National Archives. For ten years now and through federal funding by The National Endowment for the Humanities and an absolutely stellar list of national major funders and educational organizations, Founders Online is truly a national resource for both amateur and professional historians. It is a Primary Source Bonanza! (Also recommended by Tom Shachtman, Kim Burdick, David Head, and David O. Stewart.)
Mary V. Thompson
The digitized collections of primary source material that I use most frequently can be accessed on the Mount Vernon website: http://mountvernon.org/library/research-library/.

The Online Library of Liberty has many writings including the papers of John Adams. One other hint: Many colleges allow alumni access to databases for which their libraries have memberships. I have leveraged my Bucknell University credentials to access many books and articles in databases such as JSTOR that are available only to paying members. Try this!
Norman Fuss
The online resource that I find myself using most frequently these days is the Annual Printed Army Lists of Officers on the British Army from 1754 to 1879 in the British National Archives. These official lists give the names of the officers of the several regiments with the dates of their commissions, etc. Lists have been officially posted up with manuscript promotions, transfers and other changes and corrections. The records within this series are available to download free of charge.
The Washington Papers are wonderful to see on the Library of Congress' website in their original state, but their transcribed and annotated versions on Founders Online are one of the critical research aides for students of the American Revolution and American founding period. Someone else's handwriting isn't always easy to read, so Founders Online's work to digitize readable versions of these important documents allows for better research without first trying to decipher the words. The notes attached to most letters include necessary background information on officers, events, and earlier letters that give a clear view of the broader picture of the text. Best of all, this is a free, searchable website that is open to all without cost- perfect for college students and seasoned historians alike.
Derrick E. Lapp
The Archives of Maryland Online is a treasure trove to mine for Revolutionary-period information such as Maryland muster rolls, journals and correspondence of the Maryland Committee of Safety, acts of the General Assembly, even the Maryland Gazette newspaper.
In my research of tracing the evolving nature of radicalism during the Imperial Crisis, The Annotated Newspapers of Harbottle Dorr, Jr., available free of charge through The Massachusetts Historical Society have been a lifesaver! Unlike some digitized archival sources, the Dorr papers are extremely easy to navigate, and while this collection is naturally very Boston-centric, reprinted articles and contributions offer insight into how other regions of British North America were coping with imperial measures on the eve of the Revolution. As such, the Dorr papers continue to be an invaluable staple in my primary research endeavors!
Philip D. Weaver
I recommend the Philip Schuyler Papers on the New York Public Library's website. Difficult to work with, there are alternative ways to get the information, so you may have to stumble around some. The good news is the material is free and now considered public domain. Unfortunately, some of the military stuff is not there yet, so you might need to access some material on microfilm. The collection is a must for New-York (Separate) and Northern Department types—A big help to me on my upcoming book, The 3rd New Jersey in New-York: Stories from "The Jersey Greys" of 1776.
Patrick H. Hannum
While there are many fine internet resources available for researching online, Internet Archive, https://archive.org/index.php, a 501(c)(3) non-profit, hosts a fine collection of historic books and provides access to many other digital resources. Books published before 1923 are available for free download, many other items are available with free access. The search feature associated with this collection works very well. They continue to build their collection, and according to their web page, scan 1,000 books per day into digital form from locations around the globe.
Keith Muchowski
I have to say The Life and Correspondence of Rufus King, which was edited by King's grandson, Dr. Charles Ray King, in the 1890s and early 1900s. Dr. King's involvement raises one issue: as a family member he held valuable insights but an inevitable lack of objectivity. One wonders if any incriminating material may have gotten excluded. That said, Life and Correspondenceis an extraordinary resource, Ironically, it is so indispensable that even half a century ago one biographer was calling it a "literary coffin" because scholars have mined it so extensively. Thus, one uses the work in conjunction with other source material.
Gregory J. W. Urwin
The Huntington Library, Art Museum, and Botanical Gardens in San Marino, California, has added its extensive collection of Revolutionary War orderly books to its Digital Library, which is available free to the public. As a devotee of the British side of that conflict, I am most grateful for easy access to orderly books from the 17th Regiment of Foot and 71st Fraser's Highlanders, but the collection also contains a wide selection of Continental Army orderly books covering the conflict from 1775 to 1783.
Adam Zielinski
I am personally very fond of the website Papers of the War Department, 1784-1800. As it reads, the site is devoted to digitizing what documents remained following the fire that decimated much of the department's archives in November 1800. And the research is continuing as we speak, adding an extra air of intrigue and excitement.
I make extensive use of the British army pension and discharge documents available on fold3.com. These papers retained by the pension office are some of the only surviving records of the age, place of birth, and other details of individual British soldiers. Fold3 is a subscription service, but the extensive assortment of material available there makes the cost well worth it for researchers.
Samuel Johnson's 1755 Dictionary of the English Language. Don't be distracted by the alphabet on the home page, which leads only to highlights. Use the "Page View" function to find the exact page where your word falls.
For easy navigation of Madison's Notes, I use Yale's Avalon Project. Max Farrand's Records of the Federal Convention of 1787 (3 volumes) includes not only Madison's notes but also those taken by other framers, as well as the official journal. The Founders' ConstitutionI s a potpourri of background material for each clause (save for Article II, Section 4—removal of the president—which is strangely absent). The most comprehensive collection is the Constitutional Sources Project (ConSource). There are multiple ways to navigate this site, but the search command is most rewarding.
Benjamin L. Huggins
The American History Collection at University of Virginia Press's Rotunda site (full content only by subscription but some content is free) includes Documentary History of the Ratification of the Constitution, Documentary History of the First Federal Congress, Adams Papers, Alexander Hamilton Papers, John Jay Papers, Thomas Jefferson Papers, Dolley Madison Digital Edition, James Madison Papers, John Marshall Papers, Diaries of Gouverneur Morris, Pinckney-Horry Papers, Picnckney Statesmen Papers, and George Washington Papers among others.
One of my favorite online sources is the Evans Early American Imprints collection digitized by the University of Michigan. It contains a large collection of pamphlets from the colonial and Revolutionary era, is free, searchable, and full of great information.
Samuel A. Forman
My favorite on-line digitized primary source database is America's Historic Newspapers. It is a collaboration of the American Antiquarian Society (AAS), Worcester, Massachusetts, and Readex. Anchored on AAS' extensive collection of North American newspapers dating to the late seventeenth century, the on-line collection has drawn on the print periodical collections of virtually all of the major American archives and university collections. In recent years the collection has extended beyond the original cutoff year of 1876. Afro-American, Caribbean, and several other specific-interest newspaper collections can now be searched from a single portal. In my research I use extensively the text searching capability and visualization of articles of interest as they originally appeared. This is a pricey subscription database best accessible to individuals via university library affiliations and some historical and genealogical societies. Some of these organizations permit remote access to their members.

The Essential American Revolution Library
Mark Anderson says:
This is a fantastic list with many of my regular resources, several online collections I was unaware of, and others that I had forgotten over the years. The article is a great service for everyone interested in doing their own primary source research. It would be great if readers add other suggestions.
For my research stomping grounds up north, I rely heavily on the Programme de recherche en démographie historique (PRDH) parish records for Canada. It's behind a paywall, but quite affordable– https://www.prdh-igd.com/en/home
A related paywall resource is Genealogie Quebec, which has digital copies of many of those actual records, occasionally providing more info or clarifying questionable PRDH entries. https://www.genealogiequebec.com/en/

Zephaniah Marryat (1684–1754) was an English Nonconformist minister. He was a strict Calvinist.

Career
Marryat was a tutor at dissenting academies funded by the King's Head Society. Between 1743 and 1744 he was a tutor at Stepney Academy; he then taught at Plaisterer's Hall Academy. At Plaisterer's Hall, he was the educator of Robert Robinson and Thomas Williams. Joseph Priestley was also sent to him, but Priestley 'resolutely opposed' the condition of subscribing every six months to 'ten printed articles of the strictest Calvinistic faith.' After Zephaniah Marryat suddenly died, John Conder filled his place as theological tutor in this academy, while Samuel Pike succeeded him as one of the Tuesday lecturers at Pinners' Hall.

Personal life
He was the father of Thomas Marryat.
