(dailynewyorknews) – An offer of Mississippi Attorney General to cancel the pardon of convicted murderers and four other prisoners will not be heard this week, after all.

The state Supreme Court on Wednesday accepted the jurisdiction of the case and granted a defense motion to cancel the hearing scheduled for Friday by a judge of the children of Jackson. The Supreme Court set a hearing on February 9 in the case.

The governor then. Haley Barbour issued a pardon last month, angering the authorities and the families of victims of crime.

Attorney General Jim Hood has been particularly open, calling the pardon “a slap in the face to everyone in law enforcement and (say) Governor Barbour should be ashamed.”

The Attorney General denies pardons for “not enough to meet the disclosure requirements of the Constitution of Mississippi,” his office said.

As he closed his second term as governor, Barbour received the “total forgiveness” – that is, save the condemned is indeed clean – more than 200 people convicted of various crimes. The four convicted murderers were sentenced to life imprisonment forgiven and worked as men of confidence in the governor’s residence. This practice was abandoned by the new Governor Phil Bryant.

One of the convicted murderers were recently found in Wyoming, according to Hood.

Joseph Ozment was served with papers in a hotel in Laramie, where he had lived under another name, his office said.

Ozment place had been unknown since he was taken by his mother on January 8, after his release.

“We said we would find, and we did,” said Hood. “Now, let the court decides what is happening here.”

Monday night, Hood spoke with CNN “AC360″, the closing of the former governor and question the motives behind his pardon.

“He ran out of the governor’s office as if it were in Mississippi in the 1950s,” said Hood. He said many prisoners were pardoned Barbour from wealthy families or had ties to the Republican Party.

Barbour defended his pardon. On Friday, appeared on CNN’s “United States John King,” said Ozment and others have been rehabilitated.

His office issued a statement saying Barbour had no entry in which he served as faithful to the house and had no prior knowledge that has been sent.

David Gatlin was one of four convicted murderers were pardoned by Barbour.

In 1993, reported CNN affiliate WLBT, David Gatlin entered the trailer where his ex-wife, Tammy Ellis Gatlin has lived and shot in the head while holding her 6 weeks baby in her arms. Friend, Randy Walker, survived a gunshot to the head.

Walker told CNN’s Anderson Cooper Wednesday night that he was surprised when he learned Gatlin became a faithful governor mansion.

“We believe that if we could have come to believe that Haley Barbour … could have changed the result of this, “said Walker.

Tammy Gatlin family received a letter from the State Council on parole last month by saying that Gatlin would not be paroled and the side is considered in October 2012.

Barbour, speaking on the program of the trust, said he believes in second chances and that men who have committed crimes of passion are less likely to repeat their crimes.

“I have no doubt in my mind that these men have repented, have been redeemed, became difficult to work to prepare to leave the world. I have no doubt in my life, “he said in an interview last month with Fox News.

Walker said “AC360″ Gatlin affair was not a crime of passion. And he said he was glad he did not have the opportunity to present their case before Gatlin was released.

A judge ruled last week that there will be no change in the conditions for the four convicted murderers.

Men can remain free, but has not yet reached the authorities every day, Hinds County Circuit Judge Tomie Green ruled.

After this decision, Hood said his office would ask “over 170″ names will eventually be added to a list of people who must register with the authorities and could be sent back to prison. He said his office found 22 prisoners pardoned “effectively meet the requirements of publication and there are nine that are still under review.”

A lawyer representing three of the convicted murderers claimed the graces are valid.
