Meiners: This is a really controversial pardon.

Bevin: Which one?

Meiners: The child rapist.

Bevin: Which one?
Bevin: Her hymen was intact. There's no way that girl was raped. She made it up.
Story coming soon on this. Bevin made this argument on WHAS this afternoon.
In my interview with Bevin on Saturday, he also expressed his belief that Micah Schoettle (who he pardoned) did not rape the nine year-old girl, telling me to go ask her mother what really happened: courier-journal.com/story/news/pol…
