Death penalty opponents maintained a vigil awaiting an announcement from the governors office on the granting of clemency. At 3:00 pm word came over the newswire that the governor has postponed the announcement until 3:00 pm on Sunday. On hearing this news the vigil disbanded.
People plan to regroup at a rally tomorrow Sunday outside St. Monica’s Church (the Gov’s church) at 10am. The church is located at 725 California Avenue in Santa Monica.
There are also plans in the works for death penalty opponents to gather at the First AME Church in Los Angeles on Sunday shortly before 3:00 pm Sunday to hear the announcement of the gov’s decision.
