Yes, I think you are quite correct and the timing of the announcement is being carefully considered. I believe Tookie is scheduled to be put to death just a few minutes after midnight (Monday night). Do you think the Governor will wait until early tomorrow morning to announce his decision?
Fox News Alert reporting the Governor will wait until tomorrow to announce his decision.
I know very little about the process. Someone said that Arnold didn't have to make an announcement and just run down the clock. If there is no clemency, why make a statement?
