The California Supreme Court has overruled three more of Governor Brown's acts of executive clemency. Of the ten acts by Brown, nine of those overruled were for murderers.
Adding to the previous list are Jameel Coles, 40, doing life for the last 20 years for murdering a man who gave him a ride. He has been working as a chaplain's clerk (big whoop) for the last six years. He has also picked up two AA degrees along the way. Coles became a guest of the state at age 19. Brown tried to pardon him without success.
The other two were commutations of sentence. One was Thomas Marston, 58, who has 34 years in on a life beef for two murders and Elaine Wong, 68, who is 38 years in on a life sentence for two murders.
Life is hard. It's harder if you are a vicious, dangerous criminal.
