Davis blocked all but eight of 294 paroles approved by the board in murder cases.

With Davis it was probably to maintain full employment of prison guards and make him look tough on crime. Why else would he reject ~97% of the recommendations from a panel he probably appointed, concern for victims or the community was not in his philosophy.

Arnie didn't "parole" her. He decided not to veto the "parole" by the responsible authorities.

I prefer a governor who considers these matters case by case and acts as he considers right to a governor who predetermines what his decisions will be in order to look "tough on crime."

It's mostly leftists who need the fig leaf of looking "tough on crime." Clinton behaved the same way. Nobody doubts that Arnie is tough.
