Exactly

I believe that Mr. Williams efforts while imprisoned have been inspirational to many people both in and outside of gang life. As many of you have mentioned, I too am opposed to the death penalty, I can't see how anyone who considers themselves "faithful"could support it, but that's another topic. However with realism kicking in high gear I don't see Arnold granting it to him unless the public opinion of his hard core supporters shifts. Looking at the past week or so it may be possible. With the protests and what I've been told hundreds of letters being written from within California, Tookie may have a fighting chance.
