Daddy couldn''t buy your way out of this one, huh?

LONDON, Ky. (AP) — A man pardoned by Kentucky’s former governor for a 2014 drug robbery killing will return to prison to serve a 42-year federal sentence for the same crime.

Patrick Baker was convicted of murder committed during a drug trafficking crime last year in a federal trial. He had been out of prison since 2019 when former Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin pardoned him for the slaying of Donald Mills.

    ". . . Baker was prosecuted the second time under the “dual sovereignty doctrine,” which allows state and federal officials to prosecute the same defendant for the same actions without infringing on double jeopardy protections . . ."

    Dress it up with any name you like, it's double jeopardy. It also violates 'equal protection of the law' because it's used selectively against the 'bad' people.

    If they can do it to someone who is actually guilty they can also do it you. Your state governor pardoned you or your state court found you not guilty? Well Isn't that nice. Let me introduce you to my little friend... Merck Garland.

      So much for not being able to challenge a Governor's pardon.
