Meanwhile, here in CA, there is an all out effort to keep the co-founder of the Crips streetgang franchise, and murderer of 4 people, from being finally executed after 24 years on death row. Actor Jamie Fox wants "Tookie" to get away with murder for his birthday.
California has nearly 600 on death row. We get 20-30 new sentences per year and 1 or 0 executions. Some guy that was convicted in 1982 just had his conviction overturned because there should have been a change of venue. 23 years after the conviction.
