"                     Clemency decisions

                 are                always

                                 difficult, and this one is

              no         exception," Mr. Schwarzenegger said.

              "After reviewing and weighing the showing

 Williams has made in support of his clemency\

request, there is nothing that compels me to nullify the jury'sdecision of guilt and sentence and the many court decisions during the last 24 years upholding the jury's

decision with a grant of clemency."
