Is he dead yet?
2 hours to go.
He was Terminated...
"Is he dead yet?"
He is dear, he is.
And yet, life goes on. Good for the Gov for releasing this, as the LA Times rightly puts it, "bluntly worded" statement. By chance I heard Tookie on NPR with Tavis Smiley, I think it was. He was beyond unrepentant he came across as quite haughty, actually. He was well spoken, that I'll give him, I liked how he said that he and Smiley had met "vis-a-vis", a turn of phrase I haven't heard in a while.
As for his claims of being "framed", well that really is what he claimed. Not one or two things were done wrong at his trial, every single claim you've ever heard a person make, he made. The lab screwed up, the prosecution screwed up, they were out to get him, the jury was all white, his own lawyer was no good, the witnesses were all criminals singing a stoolie's song, etc, etc. It really made his claim sound not believable.
