Reversing an excecution? I assume he means reverse the decision, because reversing death is something we can't yet do...

Williams holds out hope for reversal of execution Well, if he has already been executed, isn't it too late?

His being executed is the best message he can send to youths if he doesn't want them to follow in his footsteps.

"Even the most wretched can change," he said. "I can tell you what redemption means for me. It's a process of mea culpa, being able to acknowledge one's faults and vowing not to repeat them and reaching out to others."
"Through the years, Williams has challenged his conviction on a variety of grounds. He has claimed to have brain damage, and his most recent appeal argued that the makeup of the jury that convicted him was skewed because it did not contain any African-Americans"
Doesn't really sound like a mea-culpa to me. Blame someone else, IE jury composition, for your own heinous crimes.
You had your 24 years, years the 4 people you murdered in cold blood did not have. Time to go.

Yet, from the confines of his closet of a prison cell, Williams, 51, has campaigned heartily to keep kids away from gangs. He has spoken to roomfuls of young people over the phone and written several children's books describing the prison life that awaits them if they turn to violence. His work inspired a Swiss parliament member, as well as Notre Dame de Namur University Professor Phil Gasper, to nominate him for a Nobel Peace Prize.This would never have happened had he never commited the horrendous crimes and got caught and convicted in the first place.

Wouldn't want to jump to conclusions here, but those victims' names all sound kinda Asian to me. Pure coincidence? Or racially motivated hate crimes?

It's very simple. God will forgive him. California cannot.
