Well, not quite !
Although it was discussed, descendants of Pat Garrett, the famed lawman who
bushwhacked Billy, opposed the pardon, so it was denied.
More people said they favor a pardon for Billy the Kid than oppose the idea
after Gov. Bill Richardson's office set up a website and e-mail address to
take comments on a possible posthumous pardon for Billy.
The website was created in mid-December after Albuquerque attorney Randi
McGinn petitioned for a pardon, contending New Mexico Territorial Gov. Lew
Wallace promised one in return for the Kid's testimony in a murder case
against three men.
Billy the Kid, also known as William Bonney or Henry McCarty, was shot to
death by Sheriff Pat Garrett in July 1881, a few months after escaping from
the Lincoln County jail where he was awaiting hanging for Brady's death. He
killed two deputies while escaping, but McGinn's pardon request does not
cover those deaths.
