The parents of a slain San Diego student plan to file a lawsuit Thursday against former Governor Schwarzenegger and the state for a decision he made in his last hours of office, according to the Sacramento Bee.

Schwarzenegger reduced the sentence of Esteban Nunez nearly in half, from 16 to 7 years.

Schwarzenegger sent a letter to the Santos family apologizing for not giving them any notice of what he was going to do.
