This governor has to answer to God for his selfish and gutless stand on capital crimes. The Bible tells us God’s Law very clearly with God’s Word saying, “Thou shalt not murder”, not “Thou shalt not kill”. Those committing capital crimes generally committed “murder” thus justifying relinquishing their own life for the life(lives) they unjustly too. And correspondingly, the governor owes it to the victims to “kill” their wrongdoer. The Bible also tells us…and the governor… “There are those who do right in their own eyes, but it leads to destruction.” The governor essentially is telling the Creator of all things “I’ll do it my way” and ignores God.
