Even if you aren’t against the death penalty in all cases like I am, there was a lot pointing to clemency here:

- impaired trial lawyer
- inappropriate conduct from prosecution and one of the judges
- brother admitted to doing the actual killing and got life in prison
- victim’s family wanted forgiveness

Still surprised Stitt did the right thing.
