How did President Trump's executive order influence state-level decisions regarding the prosecution of these former death row inmates?

This development follows President Trump's executive order urging state-level prosecution of these inmates. Prosecutors in Louisiana, South Carolina, Missouri, and Texas have reviewed cases, with varying results. While some prosecutors, like in Louisiana, are pursuing state-level charges, others have deemed further prosecution not in the public interest due to factors such as the lack of enhanced public safety and high costs associated with capital trials.
