I wish Arnold had waited until 11:55 PM to announce this, it would have been much more dramatic, like in the old movies, with the warden keeping the line open...but no call comes.
Yeah, in a way it would have been nice to make him sweat it out a little longer. That would have given him little time to make his piece with his maker.
Yeah--I was hoping old Tookie would be kept in suspence until the very end! (oh, that's not torture, is it?)
