| Billy the Kid reacts to being denied a pardon! |
The governor explains his decision:
"It was a very close call. I've been working on this for eight years. The romanticism appealed to me to issue a pardon, but the facts and the evidence did not support it and I've got to be responsible especially when a governor is issuing pardons," Richardson said.Read it all here.
Richardson said that Billy the Kid's decision to continue to kill after the pardon wasn't granted to him impacted his decision.
"What I think maybe tipped the scales with me is that Billy went ahead after not getting this pardon and killed two deputies, two law enforcement individuals, two innocents," Richardson said.

P.S. Just kidding. The cage around Billy's grave was to prevent tourists from chipping off souvenir pieces from the tombstone.

he just chuckles about the story and thinks, doesn't a few lifetimes in the jail he is in count for anything?
then says, HAPPY NEW YEAR, my friend.
So what your saying is the Government lied to him!?!?!?!?
I'm SHOCKED!!!!!!
Griper, Happy New Year! Yes, Billy is in a prison for which there is no pardon or release.
Junior: Yes, and look how long it took for his case to be heard! 120 years after his death!
You would think he would have learned from the Indians when it comes to the honesty of the Government!
120 Years is nothing. Hell that's currently the average time for the appeal process for your typical serial killer sitting on Death Row now a days! LOL!!!!
