Attorneys react to pardon injunction hearing

Attorney Tom Fortner had no comment as he headed to court with two of four clients pardoned by former Governor Haley Barbour.
Fortner represents four of the five pardoned trusties who worked at the Governor’s Mansion.
They are Nathan Kern, David Gatlin, Charles Hooker and Anthony McCray.
