LOS ANGELES - Local protests are planned tonight in response to the governor's denial of clemency. Death penalty opponents plan to converge on the Governor’s Mansion in Brentwood tonight on the belief that he will be there at the time of the execution. The governor’s press office will not disclose where the governor will be at the time of the execution. But it is widely believed that he will either be at the mansion in Brentwood or in hiding at some undisclosed location. There is also a march and rally in Westwood this evening at the federal building. Protesters plan to gather at 6:00 pm and the march is expected to start at 8:30 pm.
