Abbott cited three reasons for his decision: First, Whitaker will never be released. Second, the actual shooter in this case didn't get the death penalty. He got life in prison. Finally, Whitaker's father said he would be victimized again if the state executed his son.
Former Sugar Land Detective Marshall Slot, who worked the case, also weighed in saying he opposed clemency. "A jury who heard all the facts and heard the father's plea still recommended the death penalty."

Abbott, a staunch supporter of the death penalty, said he granted clemency for Whitaker for many reasons: The triggerman in the murders got a lesser sentence; his father, a victim of the crime, passionately opposed the execution, and Whitaker had voluntarily waived all claims to parole in exchange, meaning he will spend the rest of his life behind bars.
The father and son, as well as their neighbor, William "Roddie" Bryan, were convicted on murder charges in connection with Arbery's death last year after chasing the 25-year-old Black man down with their trucks and fatally shooting him.

"There was no sense of urgency," said Deputy Josh Seeley, who also interviewed Halderson after his missing person's report. Seeley also testified Halderson said his father left for the trip designed to make cabin repairs with $4,000 in cash.
More than four years after taking the lives of 17 students and staff at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, the man who pleaded guilty to the attack is likely facing life in prison and not the death penalty, much to the dismay of many Parkland parents whose children were killed in the shooting. 2ff7e9595c
