Ex-Kentucky Gov Matt Bevin issued slew of pardons on his way out of office, granting relief to a convicted killer whose brother raised money for Bevin and another man convicted of a grisly murder.
Catch up on the developing stories making headlines.LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- , granting relief to a convicted killer whose brother raised money for Bevin and another man who was convicted of a grisly murder in eastern Kentucky.
Bevin pardoned Delmar Partin, who was convicted of murdering his former lover and stuffing her headless body into a 55-gallon drum at a chemical plant in Barbourville in 1993. The two were co-workers at the plant. Partin was serving a life sentence in prison, but defense attorneys argued at the trial that there was only a five- to 10-minute window of time for Partin to commit the crime and there was no physical evidence linking him to the death.
Bevin also pardoned Patrick Brian Baker, who was convicted of homicide and other crimes in a fatal 2014 home break-in in Knox County, the Courier Journal reported. Commonwealth’s Attorney Jackie Steele, who prosecuted Patrick Baker and other defendants for the 2014 death of Donald Mills, told the newspaper it would be an “understatement to say I am aggrieved” by Bevin’s pardon. The other defendants were not pardoned.
