Another Execution

There is an interesting post on Huffington Post today about the execution of Stanley "Tookie" Williams in California, the co-founder of the Crips. Arnold should grant clemency and commute Williams' sentance to life without parole. Sadly it probably won't happen.

UPDATE: Reuters reports that there may be a political motive for not granting clemency to Williams.
"The governor, weakened by a loss on all his initiatives in a special election he called last month, would have risked alienating his Republican party if he granted clemency."
