Atkins' request roused long-dormant memories of the two-day killing spree that terrorized Los Angeles and left seven people dead.

Their sentences were commuted to life in prison in 1972, when the U.S. Supreme Court struck down the death penalty laws as they were written at the time. California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger said Tuesday he was also opposed to releasing Atkins. \"I don't believe in [compassionate release],\" the governor told reporters.", "\"I don't believe in [compassionate release],\" the governor told reporters. \"I think that they have to stay in, they have to serve their time.\" Even if Atkins is dying, Schwarzenegger said, \"Those kinds of crimes are just so unbelievable that I'm not for the compassionate release.\" Earlier, Suzan Hubbard, director of adult prisons in California, also recommended against granting Atkins' request.
