district attorney office sent a counter argument to the governor. >> we addressed the mental health issues. they'd all been raised before in appellate court levels and now they were being raised yet again to ask the governor to act as the 13th jury, the super-juror. >> we also gave him a book of pictures from the crime scene and letters from victims' families. >> as part of his process, the governor met in person with the victims' families. >> most of the victims' families were there, and most of us were very adamant that he deserved the death penalty. >> i explained, you know, i've remained quiet for this long, i haven't said anything, but now it's time for me to speak up. i think nathan deserves to face his maker. >> but some in the room, including victim colleen o'connor's mother, felt differently.
