SAN FRANCISCO -- Crips co-founder Stanley Tookie Williams moved one step closer to the death chamber Wednesday when the California Supreme Court refused to reopen his case and halt the state's highest profile execution since the death penalty was reinstated.

Williams, in a last-ditch legal move, alleged that shoddy forensic testing and other errors may have wrongly sent him to San Quentin State Prison, where he is scheduled to die by lethal injection Dec. 13.

His lawyers asked that justices allow the re-examination of evidence that showed a shotgun registered to Williams was used to kill three people during a Pico Rivera motel robbery in 1979. They said the ballistics evidence was based on "junk science."

State prosecutors argued there was no legal basis to reopen the case. Allegations about the forensic shotgun evidence were "based upon innuendo, supposition and the patent bias of his purported expert, not upon allegations of fact,"

"Mark my words, if this guys fries, LA will burn (again)."

I've been thinking the same ever since Snoop Doggy Dog Poo said he inspires the masses in reference to the guy on death row. I took that as a veiled threat.

I can only hope that all his time in prison has brought him to the realization that he needs a savior and he has found one in Jesus. I don't wish anyone a death without knowing Jesus as Lord and Savior.

That does not mean that Tookie should not be put to death, he should. It is well past the time he should have been executed.

Not even if they came behind the entire Mexicant army.
