I had heard of his clemency problem before. I suppose it was only a matter of time until something like this took place.
Clemency should be used very rarely. A lot goes into a conviction. A sitting governor cannot expect to understand a case as well as the prosecutors and original jurors.

The court system may not be perfect, but I sure don’t know of a better system to replace it.
