Fox News just stated again that it was the 9th Circuit Court that denied an appeal. The 9th Circuit Court is well-known for it's liberal point of view, and if they denied an appeal, then it's all over.
I predict that Governor Schwarzenegger will make an announcement later this afternoon, within hours of the scheduled execution, denying clemency.
9th Circus denies- Tookie is toast unless Arnie knows something they don't.
6-0 against Tookie. That is not insignificant, especially as Tookie has some financially well to do friends.
Arnold will make an announcement just before midnight, so the mobs will all be home tucked in bed or too stoned to riot.
The Ninth Circuit as ruled on this case before - against the defendent. This was another last-minute appeal, probably designed to sway to Governor.
Nothing has changed and Gov. will have the last word.
If past experience is any indictor, the Gov. will not have any kind of press conference or personal announcement. A written statement will be issued sometime between now and midnight PST.
I would guess it will be sometime in the late evening, to give the working class people in LA and Oakland a chance to get home alive.
You can bet your boots Reginald Denny left the city for the day.
