The passing of 74-year-old death row inmate Richard Stitely due to COVID-19 hit Gov Gavin Newsom (D-Calif) hard this week. "I could have saved him," the teary-eyed Governor lamented. "Normally, death row prisoners live for decades. Poor Richard's untimely demise after only ten years was a sad twist of fate. If only I had released him like I have released so many others—more than 3,000 I think—to spare them from the coronavirus he could right now be walking the streets and doing the things he loved when he was alive and a free man."
"Maybe I shouldn't be so glum," the Governor admitted. "Not everything went bad this week. After all, I was able to issue an executive order banning singing in church. And my Plumpjack Winery was one of the few in the state to escape being ordered to shutdown. So, on balance, I guess the week was more good than bad."

At this rate of 1 a day almost, in 2 years COVID will have done what no politician or Judge could or would do... Empty Death Row in California (before they all die of old age .. where’s the justice in that?).
How many visitors went to Newsom’s winery over the past weekend, when he closed all the other wineries in the state???
