I thought Schwarzenegger denied Allen's clemency request already.

"I thought Schwarzenegger denied Allen's clemency request already."

Dunno. Here's the only mention in the article.

Allen's is the fourth clemency petition before Schwarzenegger since he took office in November 2003. He had denied three, including the one from Williams in December. "I don't think Schwarzenegger has created reason for optimism" in Allen's case, Semel says. "On the other hand, it's not over until it's over."

He's denied him a clemency hearing. He's still privately considering the clemency request. Tookie's clemency hearing was very unusual, and I'm certain was politically motivated.
