Who the hell is Stewart, what was his crime. And why is this parole any different than the hund4eds/thousands of others that Pickett has paroled over the past several years?

He heard the cell door slam at age 17. Today he's 41, breathing fresh air. I hope he can assimilate. He was a kid then and has spent over half his life in jail. Recidivism is likely.

I'd love to see a "where are they now" report of all of the scum that Haley Barbour pardoned.

Really. It's amazing how many blowhard keyboard warriors won't or can't or don't know how to perform basic research. That would be too much to ask. That and checking several sources before they go all ballistic over the first thing they find. Some of these morons don't even realize they're reading sarcasm like The Onion. But I saw it on Breitbart, it must be true!

Are the two people he helped kill still dead?

2:08 AM, go back to sleep. Nice try to throw crap, but most all of those "200 scum" you refer to were had been out of the pokey for years when they got pardoned. Living their lives with a record, but having served their time. I know you would like to infer that there were a couple hundred mother killers turned loose on the streets, but that story doesn't match up with the facts.

OK 9:48 - let me ask this another way, maybe you can understand better the question.

The MS Parole Board pardoned Stewart. Why is this noteworthy, since they parole folks day in and day out. The fact that they paroled this guy makes news, and makes JJ as a post that should matter. Why?

Squirt a little more charcoal starter on the fire, please.

How do you get life without parole for capital murder then get paroled?

Details of the crime:
---------------------------------------
Turner's accomplice, Paul Murrell Stewart (Stewart), confessed his involvement in the robberies and murders. Stewart pled guilty to two counts of capital murder and received consecutive life sentences without parole. As part of his plea agreement, he agreed to testify.

At trial, Stewart testified that he and Turner spent the night of December 12 and the early morning hours of December 13, 1997, driving around Carroll and Leflore Counties drinking beer and smoking marijuana. They decided to rob a convenience store. Turner was armed with a 6 millimeter rifle, and Stewart was armed with a .243 rifle. They drove to Mims One Stop on U.S. Highway 82 between Carrollton and Greenwood. After surveying the scene, they decided that the store was too crowded so they left and drove west to another convenience store on Highway 82.

The second store, Mims Turkey Village Truck Stop, was occupied only by one clerk, Eddie Brooks. As Turner and Stewart entered the store, Turner ordered Brooks to get down on the floor. Before Brooks could comply, Turner shot him in the chest with the 6 millimeter rifle. However, neither Turner nor Stewart could open the cash register. Both fired their rifles into the cash register, but it still wouldn't open. Meantime, Brooks was still alive, lying wounded on the floor. Before they fled the scene, Turner placed the barrel of his rifle to Brooks's face and pulled the trigger. The second shot proved to be fatal.

After failing to obtain money from the cash register, Turner and Stewart decided to return to Mims One Stop. They parked behind the store and headed toward the door. Stewart went into the store and ordered the cashier to open the cash register.

Turner encountered Everett Curry pumping gas in front of the store. While Stewart was inside robbing the store, Turner ordered Curry to the ground and took cash from Curry's wallet.

As Curry laid on the ground pleading for his life, Turner unmercifully shot him in the head. Meanwhile, Stewart took approximately $400 from the cash register. The two fled the scene and returned to Turner's house. Curry was abandoned to die.

Turner and his accomplice Stewart are white. The murder victims were African-American.
