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.

In your zeal to support the moral failure of the governor you completely missed my point.

It's not that the governor or your conjecture about what the parole board members were thinking does not deserve my condemnation, it's that the governor and what you presume the parole board members concluded conflicts with what the trial judge, jury and the many appeals court judges "who actually sat with the facts and made this decision, as opposed to reading a scanty media account" determined what should be the fate of the murderer. The governor, in my opinion, was wrong to show compassion to the evil and cruelty to the innocent.
