SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The California Supreme Court refused Wednesday to halt the scheduled execution of convicted killer Stanley Tookie Williams, the Crips gang founder who became an anti-gang activist while in prison and was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.In a last-ditch legal move, defense attorneys petitioned the high court earlier this month, alleging shoddy forensic testing and other errors may have wrongly sent Williams to San Quentin State Prison, where he is scheduled die by injection Dec. 13.
The defense derided as “junk science” ballistics evidence showing that a shotgun registered to Williams was used to kill three people during a 1979 motel robbery. The attorneys asked the court to allow re-examination of the evidence.
Prosecutors argued there was no good reason to reopen Williams’ case. Allegations about the shotgun evidence were based not on fact but on “innuendo, supposition and the patent bias of his purported expert,” prosecutors said.
This is good news, and for more reasons than just that it pisses off liberals.
It isn’t just the few murders he’s been convicted of. As the founder of a huge gang such as the Crips, how many other violent crimes were commited that otherwise wouldn’t have been?
By the way, anyone anywhere can be nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. Thats almost like saying he was a “Potential Powerball Winner.”

No intention of starting an online fistfight, just curious as to whether you believe in any concept of redemption or a person’s ability to find salvation. I have no fixed rules or ideas, just curious. It’d be nice to think, call me a pinko liberal if that’s all you’ve got, to believe that people are capable of learning and changing and affecting change in those around them. While bombs shed the blood of thousands of innocents every year, the men who launch the missiles are afforded the right to change their minds, decide that mistakes were made - who are you or I to judge in hindsight. And if we are to judge . . . kill your government first, and mine. And keep in mind that it’s your morality not mine, I just live here.
