No word yet if Arnold is going to grant clemency to Tookie Williams but the California Supreme Court rejected another appeal this morning. I hope Arnie doesn't cave in and grant him clemency if he does he should be recalled immediately.
"...here are some numbers from California on pardons for death row inmates:"
You don't state where this came from but the numbers you give are pretty unbelievable since pardoning a death row inmate not only commutes the death penalty, it outright sets them free.
I'm going to guess that those are pardons to non-death row inmates.

This article states "The last California governor to grant clemency was Ronald Reagan, who spared a mentally infirm killer in 1967."
Didn't you state in an earlier posts that some previous governors had granted clemency many times?
I stated the number of clemency's each of the governor's made since Reagan
Actually I'm not sure if it was clemency or pardons now
Having searched my archives I did say pardons
Here is what you stated in More on Tookie:
