He also said that his institution has asked the Supreme Court to set a limitation of petition for clemency that can be proposed by the dead-row prisoners and their family so the execution process could run smoothly.
"I have written a letter for the Supreme Court, asking for their decisionabout the clemency appeal. Now, it does not have a time boundary." Prasetyo said. "Those whose verdict's status is alreadyin krachtis already ready for execution."
However, the new Constitutional Court ruling decided that there is no time boundary for a prisoner to propose for a clemency. Thus, a prisoner can use this ruling to delaythe prosecutors to execute as long as possible at least until he/she exhausts all legal effort or a decision is made by the president, which might take months or years.
