"We are grateful for the humanity and the humility that Judge Block exercised in reconsidering Mr. Johnson's life sentence. Mr. Johnson's extraordinary rehabilitation in the face of a death-in-prison sentence is a testament to his character and reflects his growth and change."
"I now believe that my sentences, though lawfully rendered, were excessively harsh. Just like prisoners who have evolved into better human beings during their lengthy periods of incarceration, judges also evolve with the passage of years on the bench."
