Arnold's full statement on Tookie

Pomping aiyun! *benchpresses podium, which collapses onto him*
Either him or his speechwriters have been taking brain shrinkers.

first time have heard of that?

The claim that Williams received an unfair trial was the subject of this extensive litigation in the state and federal courts. The courts considered the sufficiency of his counsel, the strategic nature of counsel's decisions during the penalty phase of Williams' trial, the adequacy and reliability of testimony from informants, whether Williams was prejudiced by security measures employed during his trial, whether he was competent to stand trial, whether the prosecutor impermissibly challenged potential jurors on the basis of race, and whether his jury was improperly influenced by Williams' threats made against them.

In front of the court, he threatened the jury, and the witnesses.

thought perhaps it was just an accusation...

"the continued pervasiveness of gang violence leads one to question the efficacy of Williams' message."

Shit. He didn't solve the country's gang-problems singlehandedly.

What do you mean, you're "trying," Tookie? Do, or do not!

That's an awful long time to be laughing, and an awfully precise sense of time for these witnesses to have

He can talk about the specifics of this case all he wants, but to talk about the sincerity of redemption is absurd. He can base his decisions on specifics, however cloudy, but no one can presume, or has the right to question, whether this man is sincere or not in his writings and in how he has led his life these past years. When arguing for or against this execution, he rides and thin line and leaves little credence to the rest of his reasoning with such absurdities.

Just another Repug who thinks he is God, or just simply does not think.

So did the most liberal court in the nation - the 9th circuit.

This didn't start with Arnie. Amazing. People are so anti-Arnie that they think Tookie must be a good guy because Arnie is against him. Sometime, the enemy of my enemy is a still a really bad guy.
