He gave his victim a death sentence. Why not give him the same punishment? I don’t understand situations like this. I certainly hope that clemency does not equal freedom.

No, it doesn't appear to be that. It seems that it's more that the state's death penalty law was not crafted and put together to include this kind of situation. So, it's more along the lines of it not fitting the original intent of the death penalty law in that state. He'll still remain in prison.
