I don't know. It's never a good idea to tailor a law to one individual OR to make a law retroactive.
If the state legislature had cut out the retroactive portions or the idea that this would aid Fish (who by all accounts didn't do much to help himself either at trial or in previous behavior) then the Governor just might sign it.
Yeah, honestly I don't like the constitutional aspects of the bill anyway.
The proper solution here, would be to have the governor pardon him; because clearly the intent of the ORIGINAL legislation was to apply to fishes case, and the prosecutor deliberately misconstrued that law.
Clearly Fish WAS justified, under both the law as it stands today, and as it stood when the incident occurred; and the prosecution of him for murder was a blatant abuse of prosecutorial discretion.
