But we members of the public do not always see how our welfare is being served by releasing convicted swindlers and killers into our midst.

But when they do choose to speak out, they give us a window into the various rationales for granting a pardon. Barbour, for one, issued a brief statement saying the ?pardons were intended to allow [the convicts] to find gainful employment or acquire professional licenses as well as hunt and vote.?
