Some have criticized grants of clemency by Huckabee while he was governor, although the media have distorted the record. Huckabee never released from jail Maurice Clemmons, who was unanimously released by the Arkansas parole board and nearly a decade later (and multiple imprisonments and releases) murdered four police officers in Seattle in November 2009. Huckabee faced criticism during the 2008 primaries for granting a pardon to convicted rapist Wayne DuMond. Like Clemmons, DuMond returned to a life of crime, earning a second conviction before dying in prison in 2005.<ref>In 1992, conservatives lambasted Democratic presidential nominee [[Mike Dukakis]] for his actions as governor in allowing Willie Horton to go free.
