+1. It would be nice if the Governor commuted the sentences of the 11 death row inmates too.

He might not be able to.  Commutation is not a power all governors have.

All human-beings are endowed with the right to life from natural conception to natural death.*
*convicts and murder victims not included

Fixed.

I'm in favor of capital punishment, but not as it is practiced in this country.  It's too much of a lottery whether you get a death sentence and it takes way too long between crime and execution unless the murderer decides to commit the equivalent of assisted suicide by halting his appeals.

Since the Supreme Court has ruled that making the penalty for all murders be the death penalty is unconstitutional, I don't see anyway to get a useful capital punishment systenm in this country without passing an amendment.
