People also seem to forget that clemency is supposed to show leniency in punishment based on the circumstances surrounding the crime. In order to truly get clemency Tookie would have to admit he did the crimes but that the punishment didn't fit the crime. Clemency was not built to protect career criminals who commited multiple murders.
I heard them quote someone today saying "How do you put a children's author to death?"
