Meier wrote “OPPOSE!!” on the commutation paperwork and sharply rebuked the governor’s intervention, calling it “outrageous” that the governor would believe he knows better than the sentencing judge. “This man murdered someone senselessly!” Meier wrote. “He’s lucky he didn’t murder 2 people because he certainly tried.” Delgado separately filed an objection to Douglas’s commutation request three days later.

I can’t wait until this governor is out of office. Another example of his incompetent behavior! Stop voting blue and we won’t have to deal with this foolishness.
