Early 2018...
Bart has an execution date.
And the Texas governor, Greg Abbott, has never commuted a death sentence before.
But in February 2018, the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles unanimously recommends commuting Bart's sentence to life without parole, citing, among other things, Kent's plea and the fact that the trigger man was not sentenced to death.
So why would the leader in the conspiracy be?
Well, the recommendations are only advisory.
So the governor has to step in and say, hey-
Don't take this man's life.
So the process carries on, right?
The day of the execution arrives.
Bart is moved to the death chamber.
He's served his last meal.
He's strapped onto the gurney.
He says goodbye to Kent.
It's down to the wire.
There's 40 minutes before the scheduled lethal injection when Kent receives a phone call.
Abbott is granting clemency, commuting Bart's death sentence to life in prison without the possibility of parole in the first-ever motion like that from the governor.
And it's fascinating, right?
Like, not everybody agrees with this.
Yeah, I'm curious what all of y'all think when you hear this story.
