As has been mentioned, I would grant clemency if the guilt had since been called into question.

I oppose the death penalty, but I would continue to use the system as it was legally designed until I could remove it by legal means.  Universal clemency would be an abuse of my power.
Good point. I agree with you.

Another problem concerning the death penalty is that it, like other criminal offenses, is related to poverty. Most of the people on death row are poor, partly because higher crime rates come with poverty, but also because poorer people can't afford qualified lawyers.
