No word yet

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.

No clemency was issued by Schwarzneggar.

No clemency: Ex-Crips' leader to be executed

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

Erik said...

Having searched my archives I did say pardons

Here is what you stated in More on Tookie:

"...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.
