• holding that the circuit court did not err in excluding as inadmissible hearsay the affidavits of two reporters, and newspaper articles written by them, detailing their accounts of an execution
• rejecting defendant’s claim that his clemency proceeding did not serve as a fail-safe when it was done before his postconviction proceedings
• denying the defendant’s claim that his clemency proceeding did not serve the fail-safe purposes because it was done before his postconviction proceedings

• rejecting argument that the Governor’s discretion in signing a death warrant results in an arbitrary and capricious selection process
