Defeated Kentucky governor pardons man convicted of decapitating woman and stuffing her body into barrel
In a statement, Bevin explained his pardon of Delmar Partin, who was convicted in 1994 for the murder of Betty Carnes, the mother of three and a co-worker at a factory where Partin and Carnes were both employed.
The coroner who testified in the case said he could not determine whether Carnes had died due to asphyxiation or from the blows to her head she sustained when Partin hit her with a metal pipe, the Lexington Herald Leader reported. Since his November defeat to Democrat Andy Beshear, Bevin has issued 428 pardons, many of them controversial. In addition to pardoning Partin, Bevin has set free a convicted child rapist, a man convicted of murdering his parents, and a mother who tossed her newborn baby in the trash at a flea market, the Louisville Courier Journal reported.
