Let’s be clear about one thing-most Rat politicians are against the death penalty and the only reason many run as pro death penalty candidates is because most of these hypocrites know their asses would be defeated in a heartbeat if they admitted the truth.

That doesn't appear to be the case here, with this particular governor, from what I read ...
I see that under Governor Stickland's term, they have executed 14 men with their death penalty law.
During that time the parole board recommended mercy for the convicted three times. The Governor has followed the parole board's recommendations only twice. He overrode the parole board's recommendations for Jason Getsy in 2009 and he was executed.
He also overrode the parole board's recommendations in 2007 and spared John Spirko from execution.
I don't see a pattern of overturning executions under the death penalty, without due consideration and there are always cases which need consideration of these things.
