"The only death penalty case among the 153 that came across George W. Bush's desk in his tenure as Texas Governor in which Governor Bush intervened and commuted the death sentence was that of serial killer Henry Lee Lucas. Under Texas law, however, the governor only has power to commute the sentence if the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles first recommends commutation or pardon; Bush's only option for the vast majority [clarification needed] of the death penalty cases was to offer a one-time, non-renewable 30 day reprieve from execution."
