And I want to say as governor, that is something that I am desperate for the chance to work on. Very good, Mr. Weiser. Again, the question is how long should Tina Peters have spent in prison? She should have served up until the time that she was eligible for parole and been treated like any other prisoner. A core problem in this case is we saw a deviation from core basic justice principles. Giving someone special treatment because who she was, that's wrong. (50:57–51:04)

CLAIM

Asserts that Tina Peters should have served until eligible for parole, without special treatment.
