If that was his real stance, and someone who does believe in up and down, I think he is burning in hell for being in position of power to stop, but went on to kill innocent people.

Also in subject of death row, recently watched rather good movie based on true events: Trial by Fire. Interesting how that case was based on pseudo-science and even thought the governor knew he still let Cameron to be executed.

I think he (and others) have a strong belief that is how the judicial system should work -- that appeals courts do not re-examine evidence.

The executive system can grant clemency, etc.
