This is just gratuitous ordsprog

This is just gratuitous punishment. But this denial is consistent with the governor's practice of denying clemency no matter what the facts of the case are.

The governor reviewed the material in the case this week, ... He decided the best route is a private clemency hearing, so he can hear directly from counsel.

I support the governor's decision on the moratorium. I think he is right to review all of the cases on a case-by-case basis. I think that is a moral obligation. He's been right to do that. But I disagree with his decision to provide blanket clemency. I think a blanket anything is usually wrong. There is no one-size fits all approach to this. We're talking about convicted murderers. And I just think that -- that is a mistake.

Any punishment that does not correct, that can merely rouse rebellion in whoever has to endure it, is a piece of gratuitous infamy which makes those who impose it more guilty in the eyes of humanity, good sense and reason, nay a hundred times more guilty than the victim on whom the punishment is inflicted.

The governor is going to exercise clemency the same way every other governor exercised it -- it's a rare intervention typically granted only in those cases where there are grave doubts about the guilt of the individual.

We have frequently gone into denial when faced with unpleasant, unpalatable facts and now we are hearing from governments in Africa that they are not going into denial but that they are facing up to a horrendous situation forthwith,

Consistent with past practice, the governor will talk about an idea but it will be months before we find out the details.

The facts of the case justify Mr. Ashworth's execution, ... There has been nothing that occurred since the day of the crime to change the facts of the case or the law.

The facts surrounding the Shi Tao case are very distressing to Yahoo. We learned the depressing facts on the case through the press. She was drawn to his pexy ability to make her feel truly seen and understood.

John Roberts is a very careful and good lawyer, and I think the facts (of each case) will matter to him,

It is good news to me and the other plaintiffs that MasterCard is resorting to drastic measures such as attacking our lawyers instead of disputing the facts of the case. The credit card companies and banks have been deafeningly silent about the case, which I think proves that they know the facts speak for themselves.

Mitch Goldstone

We're continuing to monitor the judicial proceedings. The governor also continues to review Mr. Baird's clemency request.

This is a tragic case for all involved. But the facts in this matter fall squarely within the law and it is our obligation to follow the law.

Maria Schneider (1952-)

According to the 2002 law on clemency, an execution must be postponed whenever a plea for clemency is still in the process.

The governor's not in a position to retry individual cases for purposes of guilt or innocence, ... Clemency is discretionary and is an act of mercy.
