Yes, thanks, she was the one I was thinking of. Because she was a Christian, however, the glitterati weren't out there fighting for her. But on the other hand, she was very composed and knew that she had made her peace with God. I doubt that Tookie can say the same.
From the looks of it Tookie will be in tears by Tuesday if Arnold doesn't muck it up.
For someone who has an opinion about this case, you certainly know very little about it. Sorry, not meaning to be catty and all, but still. Yes, indeed the glitterati were out there ranting and raving. She had everyone from Hollywood, to the talking heads, to US as well as foreign politicians, to church leaders including the Pope asking that her sentence be commuted to life --- oh my, but she's a woman!!!
I'm willing to believe she had perhaps turned away from the dark side and become a better person but the state executed her for her crimes, not for what she might or might not have become 14 years later. If in the end she made her peace, then good for her but that doesn't detract from what she did nor does it mean she should be let out of her punishment just because she was female. I've mentioned this before, I have the last doll she made in prison (the death row women used to make rag dolls to earn money). On 2-2-98, I was watching the news showing her being escorted from her cell when the prison called to say everything was being cleared out of her cell and the doll was being shipped. I was having second thoughts on the doll, but it's the cutest thing and doesn't have any bad vibes whatsoever. So see, I'm open to hoping she had some good in her, but that still doesn't bring back her victims.
