Mass. Gov. Swift Denies Freedom For Innocent Man

ronn sent in this column from the Washington Times, which relates the story of Gerald Amirault, a man who, along with his sister and mother, was convicted on fraudulent child abuse charges 16 years ago. In spite of the unanimous recommendation of the Governor's Board of Pardons to free Amirault, Mass. Gov. Jane Swift has chosen not to do so, apparently for fear of election backlash. The column's author suggests that Swift's re-election campaign is more important to her than justice.
