In an interview, Bevin dismissed critics calling for investigations but said he would welcome a federal investigation.
“This is going to be very cathartic," Bevin told The Courier Journal, a member of the USA TODAY Network.
"If the truth comes out, there will be people involved in this process on the other side of the equation that have very good reason to be very concerned right now. And some of them are the loudest people right now, and for good reason." Asked about the fundraiser again, the former governor then conceded he had spoken to Eric Baker before,"But I don't know if I've spoken to him about this."The former governor also insisted Baker is an innocent man — despite the outcry over Patrick Baker's pardon from Mills' family, the local prosecutor in the case and those questioning if the political donations played a role.
The mother of the victim in the Schoettle case recounted to the New York Times her outrage when learning about the pardon, saying her family had only recently begun to recover from the trial and"it scares me to think that he knows he got away with it." Asked about Bevin's comments, Stivers on Sunday stood by his concerns and call for a federal investigation, particularly into the circumstances surrounding the pardon of Patrick Baker.
