... and it took these many years for the governor to see and act on the “poor defense” argument? I don’t buy it. The morally confused, weak governor has denied justice to the murderer’s victim and family, and has failed in his duty to carry out the laws of the state of Ohio.

I don’t buy it.

I do. Post is the only person in Ohio history to be sentenced to death for a plea of no contest. Whether I agree with the clemency or not, it is perfectly legitimate for a governor to take that into account when considering it.

Gov. Kasich is doing a great job in Ohio, IMHO.

The State Parole Board made this recommendation, so perhaps the majority of their members, who actually sat with the facts and made this decision, as opposed to reading a scanty media account, are "morally confused and weak" also.

Or maybe they just don't know as much about it as you do.
