 SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - Former Whitewater independent counsel Kenneth Starr asked Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger on Friday to spare the life of a death row inmate because the man has apologized for his crimes.
Starr told the governor Michael Morales should be granted clemency because he has repeatedly expressed remorse for the rape and murder of a 17-year-old girl in 1981.
Morales "has not fled from his responsibility for the deed committed so many years ago in his reckless and drug-saturated youth," Starr's petition stated.
