re: JBE has pardoned 41 murderers so far on his way out

Nathan E. Arnold - Lafayette - 2nd degree murder


Got into a fight with a guy at a bar, guy pulls out knife and stabs him. Arnold went to his vehicle and retrieved a firearm. As he approaches entrance of bar again, guy comes out with knife in his hand toward Arnold, who shoots and kills the guy with the knife. Because he went to his vehicle, retrieved a firearm, and proceeded to return to the bar he was charged with 2nd degree murder. His sentence was commuted from life to 60 years and he made parole several years ago. He was given unsupervised parole after 10 years of compliance and no violations.
