On his last day as California Governor,Arnold Schwarzenegger commuted the prison term of a political allys son who was sentenced to 16 years for killing a college student two years ago. Schwarzenegger reduced the prison sentence of Esteban Nuñez,21,son of former Assembly Speaker Fabian Nuñez,to seven years Sunday night,hours before his term was to end on Monday,the Los Angeles Times reported. I dont discount the gravity of the offence. But given Nuñezs limited role in Luis Santos death and considering he had no criminal record prior to this offense,I believe Nuñezs sentence is excessive, the daily quoted a statement by Schwarzenegger as saying. Nuñez had earlier pleaded guilty to participating in the stabbing of Luis Santos in 2008. Schwarzeneggers action has infuriated the victims family. We are totally outraged. For the governor to wait until the last day in hopes it would fly under the radar is an absolute injustice, said Fred Santos,father of Luis. He added: The governor did not even have the courtesy to notify the victims family. This is dirty politics. Plans skiing trip with Medvedev MOSCOW: Russian President Dmitry Medvedev sent former California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger a message on Twitter saying there are many more interesting opportunities to come. Schwarzenegger tweeted he wanted to meet again and suggested they go skiing. The two met at Silicon Valley last year.
