He was executed this morning.
For some strange reason, I actually thought Williams had a chance. I guess Schwarzenegger must be planning on running for Vice President one day. He didn't want to piss off any politicians. On a good note, I was really surprised to see the amount of people (white and black) who spoke out in Tookie's defense. Many of them were against the death penalty, not for Tookie's innocence. Nevertheless, I was still amazed at the number of celebrities and other influential people. Didn't matter, though. Arnold did not budge.
Reminds me of a scene from the movie Lackawanna Blues:
1956, White judge talks to a black man on trial for assault:
Boy, you hurt two white men in one week.
You broke a white man's arm.
You hurt a white man's feelings (by telling him, "Go to Hell").
10 years, next case!
