With governor's reprieve, man released after murder-for-hire

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — A man who was serving a life sentence in a 1994 murder-for-hire plot in Tennessee is out of prison and on parole after the former governor granted him a reprieve.

Jeremy Ingram was released from Morgan County Correctional Complex on Friday, according Tennessee Department of Correction records. Former Republican Gov. Bill Haslam commuted his sentence last January in one of his final official duties, saying the inmate had "undergone a transformation" behind bars.

Gina Sanjines, the intended target of the plot, was shot and partially blinded by Ingram in the attack in which her boyfriend was killed. She doubts Ingram has changed and fears she'll run into him again. She said she has no assurances otherwise. All she can do now is pray what Haslam saw in Ingram proves true, she said.

“This is a person who did not know me, did not know the man he killed,” Sanjines said Thursday. “And prior to him running me down in my home and shooting me in the head, I wouldn't have been able to pick him out of a lineup.”

So what happened? Did the prisoner find Jaysus?

This sounds like when Mike Huckabee commuted Maurice Clemons' sentence. Clemons went on to murder three police officers in Lakewood WA.
