Saline County`s prosecutor is objecting to
Governor Huckabee`s intention to grant clemency for a convicted
murderer who bludgeoned a man to death, reportedly with a
prosthetic leg.
Don Jeffers is serving a life sentence for the July 17th, 1980,
death of William Hash during a robbery. Huckabee announced his
intention to grant Jeffers clemency yesterday, starting a public
comment period of up to 120 days.
Saline County Prosecutor Robert Herzfeld, who learned of
Huckabee`s intent after it was made public, spent part of today
reviewing old files and interviewing court officials who were
involved in the case. He sent Huckabee a letter describing Jeffers
as "a cold-blooded murderer who should never see the outside of a
prison."
