Yes, one and the same. He was nominated by a Swiss legislator - for all those children's books he has authored. I suppose anyone can be 'nominated'!

I'm not a big fan of the death penalty, but I am always suspicious of these death-row guys who become heroes of the Left. My suspicion is that they have become heroes to the Left because at some fundamental and devious level, they are basically unrepentant, no matter how they might try to appear to the general public. I think murderers who are truly repentant are unlikely to become icons of the Left.
