The Spin

Narrative A

Parson should grant Dorsey clemency. Prison workers, and even the judge who upheld his death sentence, are unified in their belief that Dorsey was failed by the justice system. Dorsey has been a model citizen for the past 18 years, and he shouldn't die because he wasn't allowed proper counsel.

New York Times

Narrative B

This outpouring of support for Dorsey is turning him from a cold-blooded murderer into a victim, but Parson can't let it affect him. No one is questioning whether Dorsey committed these heinous crimes and his conviction has been upheld multiple times. Dorsey must be punished for what he did.
