I started out keeping an open mind on this one, thinking there might be more to the story than just the headline. Upon reflection, I find myself in the exceedingly uncomfortable position of agreeing with Elwood.

Probably not, but it would ensure that for 16 years the next person he stabbed would be another con. 16 years in the joint is about right for a gang banger who used a knife to settle a minor dispute.

Arnold is a POS.

What a bozo.

Concur with RR about the purpose of prison. Prison or other forms of “punishment” should be all about protecting the public — by isolating dangerous types, by deterring crimes in the first place or by making victims whole when financial losses are involved. Revenge, in my opinion, should have nothing to do with it; which is why I oppose the ritual of having family and friends weigh in on punishment at trials or parole hearings, or judges making big speeches rather than just imposing sentence. People are tried for crimes against the state. In the Nunez case, I haven’t looked into the facts but understand that he was led to believe that he would get a shorter sentence in return for a guilty plea. Of course, if Nunez gets into trouble again, Arnold’s decision won’t look very good.

He was not “broken up” about what he did, he had no remorse, his attention was on getting rid of evidence, and boasting that he would get off, with Dad’s help, by pleading self-defense.

Schwarzenegger said he had “limited” participation and no record. He was engaged with the killing of Santos. He stabbed two others also. He probably has no record because he has gotten away with “murder” as the son of Fabian

This should be a big problem for Schwarzenegger. This commutation should be overturned. Disgusting.
