Schwartzenegger's last reprehensible act as governor
The former bodybuilder, actor and later California politician, Arnold Schwartzenegger, was bad for conservatives in many ways, and he even made sure to end his career that way too: he commuted the sentence of the son of a fellow politician for the Democrats, who'd been convicted of manslaughter (Hat tip: Michelle Malkin):
In his final night before leaving office, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger commuted the prison sentence of the son of former Assembly Speaker Fabian Nuñez who had pleaded guilty to taking part in the slaying of a college student.I see little reason to bother about any of Arnold's dopey movies again, unless maybe we consider the first Terminator film, where he actually is depicted as a villain. Then again, what's the use even there - it comes from a director who's just as leftist as he really is. Arnold really is a most reprehensible man indeed.
Schwarzenegger announced the move in a batch of eleventh-hour press releases e-mailed to reporters.
[...]Fabian Nuñez, a Democrat, grew close to the governor while speaker. The two worked together to pass the state’s landmark global warming law, which was a signature achievement of Schwarzenegger’s time in office. Fabian Nuñez is a business partner of the governor’s chief political advisor at the consulting firm Mercury Public Affairs.
“We are totally outraged,” said Fred Santos, the father of Luis Santos. “For the governor to wait until the last day in hopes it would fly under the radar is an absolute injustice.”
Santos, a software engineer in Concord in Northern California, said Esteban Nuñez “had already gotten lucky once” when prosecutors accepted a plea bargain that allowed him to avoid standing trial on murder charges, which could have led to a life sentence.
He said the family was not warned about the impending commutation and learned about it Sunday from reporters.
