"the actions of the legislature don’t automatically reflect the will of the people. I could add something about “the voters� not necessarily representing the people, but I suspect it would detract from the issue."

Let me do some speculating on my own. Aside from you, your hollywood cohorts, and some other rag tag fringe organizations standing behind a murderer, you would be surprised to know that most people would not dispute the fate of this man for killing 4 people. If the Stanley William's defense had a legitimate excuse as to his innocence, they would have used it by now. If it took him 10 YEARS to turn against gang life, well I don't think he's completely changed at all. Same old game, different story.

As far as I'm concerned, this trial is over. It has been over a long time. The Burden of Proof lies on the DEFENCE now since they're appealing his sentence. Get it? Tookie's going to have a hard time saying he didn't kill these people when the gun "he bought" was used to commit the crimes.

In the end, you can't convince people that "Happy Holiday's" is better than "X-mas" because it's more PC, nor can you convince them that Stanley Williams is innocent. Please do not refute with something like "thou shall not kill" is a Christian proverb, I am not religious, besides I find it hypocritical that liberal organizations such as the ACLU who try to remove Christianity from every reference in our society have the gall to use that proverb when defending this guy. Pure hypocrisy at its finest.
