Its very nice the bastard does this as he is leaving office - so the voters cant have their say. A former gov of Arizona and Clintonista Bruce Babbit did the same thing - he disapproved of the death penalty and the incoming Governor said he would "hang em high" - so he commuted all the senteces to life in Arizona.
Its nice that these men feel they know more then the juries (and judges) that sat through the actually cases at the time and found them guilty.
I also notice the families of the victims werent consulted before this was done.
The problem with the death penalty is that is isnt carried out enough, even when sentenced, and even then it takes to long.
