of the sentence?
There is a difference.
A person who commits a double murder that is so violent that open caskets are not an option can have the sentence commuted to life without the possiblity of parole if certain conditions are met. If some or all of the 13 fall into this sort of category, then I cannot say your numbers will make me change my mind.
