Anyone can be nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize. All you need is a letter from a lawyer, and you are nominated (According to a reporter I heard last night). I am personally opposed to the death penalty and feel that life in prison is a much more harsh punishment. In no way should he have even been given a parole hearing. He refused to apologize for his crimes, and would not provide information on the Crips.
