Nobody was murdered in this case. Just a highly unjustified handling of this case. This action by the President was brought on by massive mailings, faxes, and petition signing by the American people. So many in fact that Bush had to make some type of annoucement, or to be shown as a complete noncaring individual in cases of law, even if that is what he is. To show that would have been an admission on his part that he prefers lawlessness to law and order. Or better, not having great miscarriages of justice, as is the case here.
