I have mixed feelings about this... I'm not sure being on death row should disqualify him for the President's Call to Service Award.

Has he or has he not he made an appropriate contribution? Isn't that really the question?

Under the circumstances (unfortunately), the best thing for Bush to do would be to commute the sentence and defend the award.

The world is not going to end if this guy spends the rest of his life in prison instead of being executed. There is apparently no question that this creep has done some good in the last two decades. Perhaps he will do more. Executing him now will just make Bush look like a fool.

death row conversions are not a reason to commute a sentence.

the woman in Texas was executed while Bush was Governor under similar circumstances.

if you make this a valid reason for clemency, everyone will claim to be converted and born again.

our justice system determines guilt or innocence on this Earth, God can decide on the bigger picture.

My guess is that you haven't followed this story closely. Am I right?

California penal officials at San Quentin indicate that Williams is still directing the Crips from his prison cell.

Well I am sure. Being on death row should disqualify someone for getting any award and should certainly disqualify them for a presidential award FCOL. You get the stupidest post of the month award. Of course we are only two days into.
