Among those getting the controversial full pardons was the brother of former NFL quarterback and Southern Miss standout Brett Favre.
Earnest Scott Favre had his record cleared in the 1996 death of his best friend, Mark Haverty.
Favre had driven in front of a train in Pass Christian while drunk, pleaded guilty in 1997, and was sentenced to a year of house arrest followed by two years’ probation.
One of the men freed this weekend, David Gatlin, walked into the trailer of his estranged wife, Tammy Ellis Gatlin, and shot her in the head as she held their two-month-old child in 1993.
Gatlin was found guilty of murder, aggravated assault and burglary and sentenced to life in prison.
