Kentucky governor considers pardons for abused women

Kentucky governor Ernie Fletcher is considering giving pardons to ten women released from prison in 1995. All the women were in jail for violent crimes against the men that abused them.
Former governor Brereton Jones recommended that the women be freed after he saw a quilt they created depicting their abuse. The quilt was displayed at a state fair ten years ago.
Gov. Fletcher has just asked the Kentucky Commission on Women to review the cases.
