A commutation isn't a law change, it's clemency, and for 382 CA death row inmates it needs 4 state Supreme Court justices. Calaveras DA Barbara Yook says she'll fight to keep Charles Ng on death row. #CrimeTalk

A Florida man who killed his neighbor over ATV riding told the judge jail has been "a comfort" and the sentence "doesn't matter." Pro tip: don't say that when you're asking for 25 years. Ralph Hensel got life without parole. #CrimeTalk

Scott's take: Announcing you're commuting 548 death sentences and actually doing it are two different things. California's Supreme Court just opened briefing on Newsom's plan. Briefs due Nov. 24; his reply Dec. 4. #CrimeTalk #DeathPenalty

Scott's take: When the people you ran over chase you to a red light, don't get out, argue, then drive off again. Ex-NFL coach Rex Ryan turned himself in in Nashville, accused of running over two pedestrians' feet and leaving. #CrimeTalk #RexRyan

Scott's take: "I hit something and my headlights went out" is a confession with a soundtrack. Jack Sabàto, 32, son of Virginia Madsen and Antonio Sabàto Jr., is charged in a fatal Anchorage hit-and-run. #CrimeTalk #TrueCrime
