Reply to comment by Wise-KansasCity816 in Oregon governor commutes all 17 of state's death sentences by Slavic_Dusa

No, they cannot. If she had administratively paused the executions then yes the next governor could unpause that, but she commuted their death sentences.

That cannot be undone, there is no takesies-backsies on pardons and commutations once they’ve occurred.

Thank you for clearing that up. Seems highly unlikely that all were not wrongly convicted and how alive they must be feeling right now being able to set goals in life and the relief that comes from being shown mercy. Opposition of the people in this manor is neither right or just and without dishonor and sudden discharge we will continue to see this trend when protecting the people are no longer a gain. Police discipline and how they conduct themselves starts here, it is the head of the snake and a dangerous place to live during a transition like this one.
