Silly goose, he should have shot an antifa protestor, and changed his story at court away from a taped confession he gave the police. Then he'd have gotten a pardon right from the governor.

MODERATORS
The parole board has recommended clemency in a death row case only six times since the state resumed executions in 1982. In three of those cases — in 1998, 2007 and 2018 — death row inmates had their sentences commuted to life in prison within days of their scheduled executions. In two of the cases — from 2004 and 2009 — then-Texas Gov. Rick Perry rejected the parole board’s recommendation to commute a death sentence to life in prison and the two prisoners were executed.
In 2019, the parole board recommended a 120-day reprieve for Rodney Reed, just days before his scheduled execution. But the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals stayed Reed’s execution before Abbott could take any action on the board’s recommendation.
Savages.
Yeah they're Texan. I should know I'm Texan and a savage.
You just don’t turn down an execution for any reason in Texas. We just love execution too damn much, too much damn fun. Falsified evidence? Doesn’t matter, calendar says EXECUTION so somebody’s getting crispy
Back in the good ol’ days, your family could pay a fee to have an Oklahoman fried in your place.
As I have quoted for years, "I'll believe corporations are people, when Texas executes one."
Yeah all the Texans are big and bad until it's time to run into a school shooting, amiright?
Texas lowers the standard of America.
Yes you're right all millions of people there equally bad yep that's not braindead at all nope
If I had a nickel for every story I've read today about a clemency request in a decades-old shaken baby syndrome case, I'd have two nickels, which doesn't sound like a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.
Conservatism is a plague of death. They will never commute a death sentence just because someone is innocent.
A deep, insatiable need to harm the innocent or vulnerable is a core trait of conservatives. They've been this way throughout all of human history.
