From the Sacramento Bee: Governor rejects Morales clemency
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger refused Friday to grant clemency to Michael A. Morales, saying the condemned killer’s claim of remorse doesn’t outweigh the brutality of his murder of Terri Lynn Winchell.
“Nothing in the record or the materials before me compels a grant of clemency,” Schwarzenegger said in his a statement of decision. “The pain Ms. Winchell’s loved ones have been forced to endure at the hands of Morales is unfathomable as is the brutality of the acts he perpetrated.”
