Merriam-Websters gives the first definition of clemency as: disposition to be merciful and especially to moderate the severity of punishment due

Since Williams refuses to admit he committed these crimes, clemency is impossible. Clemency and mercy are both undeserved and unearned. But Willimas' supporters are saying, in effect, that Williams has earned clemency with his "good works".

The local media (Sacramento market) is giving a lot of face time to the usual "Save Tookie" suspects. Disgusting.
