When the governor grants a commutation, pardon, reprieve or stay or suspends
execution of sentence in a case where a sentence of death is imposed, he shall, within
ten days after granting the commutation, pardon, reprieve or stay or suspension of
execution, cause to be published in bold type, in a newspaper of general circulation,
published in the county where the conviction was had, and shall file with the secretary
of state for publication in the Arizona administrative register, a statement setting
forth his reasons for granting the commutation, pardon, reprieve or for staying or
suspending such execution. A further reprieve shall not be granted except upon the same
