Just an update, 1 1/2 days after Tookie died, he still hasn't committed another crime. Seems the death penalty has worked to deter him from committing more crimes as of now.. will keep everyone posted if anything changes.

Four people were massacred last night in a Boston Rap studio. Does Tookie have an alibi?

I forgot who said it, but the paraphrase is:

We don't have the death penalty to deter crime, we have the death penalty to deter this person from committing another crime.

I, too, think it works...
