On appeal, the State contends that the trial court erred by concluding that Presnell could receive a second clemency hearing based on evidence indicating that other death row inmates had done so, because the decision of whether to grant an inmate a second clemency hearing is at the discretion of the State Board of Pardons and Paroles, as illustrated by the fact that neither the trial court nor the Appellees have cited any rule or statute showing otherwise. 740, 741, 678 S.E.2d 178 (2009) (stating that the defendants, a professor and other personnel at a state university, were represented in the federal action by appellee Ralph Ellis, in his capacity as an assistant attorney general with the Attorney General's Office and that Ellis negotiated a settlement agreement with the plaintiff, a former student).
