I think subjective judgments about character are not really relevant in death penalty cases.

There's a way around that -- do away with clemency altogether, considering that it is generally a crass exercise in politics to begin with.

The Tookster can do more good by accepting his sentence with remorse towards his victims than any number of childrens books he may write.

...Stanley Tookie Williams, the convicted murderer, has done an impressive amount of stuff since his incarceration in 1981. ...

His victims, on the other hand, remain dead, Jon, you scumbag.

Fry this turkey!

[right right]

The senseless death penalty is the penalty innocent people pay due to the actions of criminals. They die at the whim of human debris like Tookie Williams. Eliminating a cancer like Williams is a must to maintain civility. If we had about 3 human cancer deletions a day, all publicly shown, a nessage would be sent and received and most cancers like Williams would be eliminated.

I'm sick of hearing about how this sadistic ghoul has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. Anybody can nominate anybody for a Nobel Peace Prize. I think I'll nominate Evil Knevel or Jerry Springer.

The death penalty does not deter and it does not cure.
----
Pure liberal crap. The only reason it does not deter, is because of a liberal judiciary that does not uphold it. Criminals know that if they kill MULTIPLE PEOPLE they will be in the Death Row Hilton for decades and never executed.

Liberal hogwash. Only from San Freakcisco.

If California had death by electrocution we would have a Crispy Crip.

Senseless death penalty? Only if you wait 25 years before they throw the switch.

"MAN UP, Tookie!"

Bet this Jon Carroll fellow is a pantywaist pillow-biter. He sounds a bit enamored of big, strong Stanley.

The execution of Stanley is not "cold-blooded." His murders, however were in cold blood. Inject the racist, murdering scum, NOW!

This writer needs to be tied up and a shotgun held to his head by a drugged up gang member for 24 hours...

"The death penalty does not deter and it does not cure."

I beg the differ with you. No executed murderer has ever gone on to be a repeat offender.

The DP is a wonderful deterrent - we should use it more often. Fry him now.

[KarlInOhio]

I would take his claims of redemption by fighting against gangs somewhat seriously if he had helped police fight the gangs. Has he turned on a single member of his Crips? Provided the police with any information on how they were organized which could be useful fighting them? Nope.

Personally I expect that his books were actually ghostwritten - all he provided was his name.

He has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize any number of times.

Whenever anyone brings that up, I know they're being dishonest.

Anybody can be nominated for a Nobel. Anybody.

"He has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize any number of times."

Anyone can be "nominated," even a dog.

Stanley Tookie Williams was convicted and sentenced to death for the murder of Albert Owens, shown in this undated photo, at a 7-Eleven in Whittier, Calif., in 1979.
