Tookie Williams is getting the same thing he gave. And while in prision, his continuing attacks on guards and other prisoners did not help his case. He threw acid at more than one prison guard. He was still advising the 'Crips' while writing "childrens books". Nice try with the books but not enough.

If he had just shown some remorse for his actions. But no, he wouldn't/couldn't and it is rather obvious an apology would never take place. "Revenge and losing face" is not the issue. The jury system has worked and the many appeals said the same thing.

The death penalty is not a real concern to those who do not take lives in a vicious and heartless manner. It can bother those who think that justice is a secondary consideration. Does it solve anything? Probably not, but it does end the expensive process of housing a murderer who is at least having a lifestyle (of sorts) that his victims were prevented from having.
