| Will lame duck Jerry Brown commute sentences of every single death row inmate in one of his last acts as California governor? |

| [FOX] Robert Boyd Rhoades kidnapped eight-year-old Michael Lyons while he was walking home from school in 1996, stabbed him up to 80 times with a fishing knife and kept him alive for nearly 10 agonizing hours before dumping his body in the Feather River, just up the street from the child’s home. The ’Grim Sleeper’ killed nine women and a teenage girl over the course of 22 years, targeting drug addicts and hookers and tossing their naked bodies along roads or in the trash. And the ’Trailside Killer’ preyed on hikers along trails in state parks near San Francisco, telling cops that he reveled in making his victims beg in vain for their lives, before shooting them in the head, execution-style. These are just some of the 744 inmates currently on California’s Death Row. Mass commutations as a political statement? Perhaps the Supreme Court and or the Congress should have a look. |

| #7 Never interested in real justice. Just rituals and condescending statements to those who want real justice. More than likely, they got to carry out a 'death penalty' for which there was no due process or appeal. Who's more powerful. See - cooperating witnesses in the 'No Go' areas of major cities. |

| #6 Save California millions by executing them all on the same day. |

| #5 I suspect he plans to just commute their death sentence to life in prison. Which I would only agree to if you cut their arms and legs off, then hung them in cages in the public square, fed via tube and hydrated by IV. This country doesn't punish people, imprisonment isn't a punishment. |

| #1 More ammo for Trump and a 'made for tv' Republican campaign advert. |
