I don't share your optimism. I'm willing to be Schwartzeneger has already made up his mind to commute this filth.
Why does CA even have the death penalty? It's a joke.
I don't know... I think he would have done it by now.
From a guy from NC, I think the entire state is a joke to the point that we're trying to get our kids back home here on Lake James in the clean, clear foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
I damn near barfed on the BART in San Fran when a guy began to lick his boyfrind's ear. After that, we took taxis to get to our destinations.
I know it's all the rage to rag on California, but...er, um....Arnie has passed on the only two commutations presented to him thus far.
I hope you're wrong and I'm right, but I'm fairly confident that this is only a political lip service maneuver on the guv's part.
In the nearly four decades since Ronald Reagan granted clemency to a brain-damaged Death Row inmate, no California governor has waived a death sentence. And Reagan took action only because the latest scientific test to determine brain damage was not available at the time of the condemned killer's trial. Schwarzenegger has flatly refused to grant clemency to two other condemned murderers. Both times, he publicly declared that model behavior behind bars doesn't absolve prisoners of culpability for their crimes.
It may take them a while to die here but die they do.
