Clememcy. Thats a fancy word for mercy. The Governor can commute a death sentence. He has the power to pick up the phone and just say No. But to me, the only time the Governor shows clemency is when he don't make that call. Life in prison without parole is a shitload worse than death. Death is parole. Death is mercy

Yo Markstram, man. What if Keane didn't kill Martinez? What if they got the wrong guy?
MMarkstram
He did it, Kenny.
Look, I know he did it! I'm just saying, what if he didn't?
JJoey
All I'm saying, Nino, is you gotta wonder what the guy's doing; what the guy's thinking sitting on Death Row knowing he's gonna die!
The only difference between you and him, Joey, is he knows the exact date he'll die!
The state's gonna let Keane pick his method of execution. Me, I'd pick hanging.
MMack
What about lethal injection?
That's for pussies.
They say lethal injection causes no pain. How do they know? Did someone come back from the dead and say they didn't feel anything?
Its rare when You say goodbye to someone that You know its going to be the last Time.You can try and say all those things You should have said before.Or You can hold on and hope that the moment will last a Lifetime
(Last Words) I wanna tell my family that I love them and I believe that this punishes them more than it does me. I am so sorry for the three murders I did and I wish that, by killing me today, you could bring them back. My time in this world has been far too short. Too short to get it all done right. So I am ready to move on. All praise to Allah. All praise.
LIL'Italien
(Last Words) I am really not ready for this. Oh, man.
Father, where was God when my son died?
Same place He was when His own son died.
So the state's gonna let Keane choose which way he's gonna go out. Me, I'd take hanging.
MMMark Mack
What about lethal injection?

My ex was a big hunter, he was always going off with his buddies so I said to him one time to take me. After some complaining, he did. So I got there in the forest with this big hunky shotgun and I fired at a deer. Hit it dead on. So I went over to this thing and I leaned down and this deer looked up at me with these eyes, these eyes like flashlights. I knelt beside it and I held it's head and I whispered, "I'm sorry." And like batteries going bad the light in its eyes flickered a little bit and went out. For the next two years we were married, every time I walked into the den I had to look at this fucking deer's dead eyes. I had to dust them. When we got divorced that's all I asked for, the deer's head. Then I buried it.
If you love women so much, why do you kill them?
RLRichard L'italien
Because when you love someone, they own you, they possess you. I will not be possessed.
I'm here to give you absolution for your sins. Do you wish to be absolved?
RLRichard L'italien
Fuck, yes!
There's this brother on death row somewheres, he checked in when he was 16. He sat there another 16 years while the courts and lawyers argued about this and that. While he waited he painted a mural on his wall. For all those years he painted, not letting a soul see what he was up to. Finally, when he was 32 and had spent more life on death row than in his mama's house, all his appeals were exhausted. He was about to die. As he was about to be let out for the final time, he finally unveiled his masterpiece. All there was were six words. "Death is certain, life is not". The next day the hacks painted over it. Peace out.
