Governor, I respectfully request that you grant my client clemency and commute her death sentence to life in prison.
Twelve citizens sitting on a jury in this state recommended that she get the death penalty. Why should I ignore their verdict?
She has accepted her role in the crime and has expressed remorse for the victims' families.
Is it true she ordered Olive Garden for her last meal?
Hmmm...I hadn't considered the insanity defense. Will you buy that?
Look, I really can't see any benefit to letting her live.
