jealous rage when his former girlfriend,
left him for the
deceased, could not control himself. Your humble petitioner was
so shocked
by what he had done that he attempted to commit suicide by throwing himself
from the roof of his apartment block, but was dissuaded from so doing by his
friends, and the police, to whom he surrendered himself without a struggle.
In the premises your humble petitioner avers that the chain of events developed
in such a way as to be beyond his control, and he now bitterly regrets that
he used such violence.
(9) Your humble petitioner deeply regrets and repents the consequences
of his action; he fully appreciates the disgrace that he has brought upon
himself, his widowed mother, and the rest of his family, as well as the grief,
remorse and loss that he caused the family of the deceased. He realizes fully
his error in doing what he did, which was completely out of character.
•
Your
humble petitioner vows that he will never again act in such a manner, or use
a weapon in a fight. Therefore, your humble petitioner is appealing to His
Excellency the Governor, to exercise the royal prerogative of mercy for the
act of your petitioner, by commuting his present sentence of death by
substituting there for one of imprisonment, so that your humble petitioner can
repent and atone for his grievous wrong doing for the rest of his natural life.
(10) le will remember for all times this most grievous crime and devote
himself to living an honest, industrious and useful life for the benefit of
the community.

I,
, hereby certify that I have
read over the above-written petition to the petitioner,
and confirm
that he stated that he understood and agreed the contents thereof.
