Oh yeah, it was republicans that put him where he is today. It is unfortunate that the power to make the final decision rests with one that has to include political considerations in making that decision. A man's life shouldn't have to depend on what the polls say will gain or cost the most votes.

Is not this why we depend on the Justice System to determine guilt or innocence, and if guilty, the sentence? God help us if we let elected officials make these decisions after the fact. I'm sure this is what swayed the governor. This case has been challenged for over a decade in all the allowable courts and for all the allowable reasons, why does a bold act of murder it suddenly become excusable?
I'm for the death penalty in particularlu violent murders committed while committing another felony! This guy fits the bill.
This whole incident was the result of a murderer working the system over the years to stay alive..and never expressing any remorse or apology for his act. All he did was write a few books and pull in some entertaiment and anti death penalty advocates in his less than convincing attempt to stay alive.
