Kentucky's attorney general has asked the FBI to investigate a flurry of controversial pardons by former Gov. Matt Bevin.
The pardons also have attracted the attention of Russell Coleman, the U.S. attorney for Kentucky’s Western District.
“I am particularly concerned about the risk to the public by those previously convicted of sex offenses, who by virtue of the state pardon, will not fall under any post-release supervision or be required to register as sex offenders,” Coleman said at a news conference.Coleman was probably referring to the pardon of Micah Schoettle, convicted of raping a 9-year-old girl, who was in the second year of a 23-year prison sentence when Bevin pardoned him of rape, sodomy and other sexual crimes.
Cameron, who took office Dec. 17, was responding to requests by two state lawmakers, Sen. Morgan McGarvey and Rep. Chris Harris, who were particularly concerned about the Baker case.
