I don't think that he should be offered clemency. He killed. There is no doubt that he didn't. It is great that he is sorry and has changed, but you can't unkill someone.
I can't say that I am against the death penalty. Do I wish that there was a better way? Yes, I do. But the only reason I am for the death penalty is because I have to pay for the criminals living their lives out in prison. I buy their meals, their clothes, pay their utilities. I know that living in prison isn't by far a luxury lifestyle, but I am still paying for it. I may not live in California, but I don't want to pay for this guy to live in prison for the rest of his life because he has changed.
Like I said, I wish there was a better way. Maybe the US should get an Austraila.
