Tookie's toast-MSNBC

[TomInTib]

just announced MSNBC. CA Supreme Court denied stay

[Bluebear]

1. So Ahhhnold couldn't act?

Has he announced anything yet?

[Guaranteed]

2. The governor can stop the execution up to the very last second.

This is just the Supreme Court denying a review of the case, or something to that effect.

[Bluebear]

3. Thanks BGL

The basis for the request was "Some other dude did it"

The petition, by Pasadena attorney Verna Wefald, also challenged the validity of all four of Williams' capital murder convictions. The justices days ago denied a request by Wefald to reopen the case based on allegations that shoddy forensics linked a weapon used in three of the murders to a shotgun registered to Williams.

Those NEVER fly...this was just a paperwork drill--one must jump through all the hoops. He has gotta know his only hope has always been with Ah-nuld.

8. dupe sorry

[terrya]

17. I bet he won't.

I don't think he'll grant clemency.

4. Lordy... I'm usually all up for "gallows humor"

but that's just cold, TomInTib...truly cold.... :shrug:

[TomInTib]

6. I am sorry.

If you knew me you would know I am the least cold person around.

I just live around the corner on the Bay from San Quentin and this is just wearing long.

[alcibiades_mystery]

11. The least cold person around

is monstrously inconvenienced by the process that will decide the death or life of a human being...

Wearing long, indeed.

[hlthe2b]

14. Oh, I must admit I was a bit tongue-in-cheek....

I can understand... Hang in there (pardon the pun!)

5. who cares. Ahnold is the one that matters

Sheesh. Everyone posting this like it mattered LOL no one expected the state emergency stay to go anywhere.

His only hope is Ahnold, but I wouldn't call that much hope

[TomInTib]

7. This gives arnie a shield to hide behind.

[MADem]

9. Not really; the request to the court was basically "let me go because

some other dude did the crime." This was a paperwork exercise, and I doubt anyone is surprised that the courts, yet again, shot it down.

10. A lot of white people will be happy to see another Black man being lynched

Many of them thought that Dan White was a fine outstanding citizen and that his shooting of Harvey Milk was not such a big deal!

[Aretha]

12. At least Williams isn't racist

He murdered a white man. He murdered an asian family. His gang has left thousands of black corpses in their wake, not to mention dead men and women and shattered families of every race on earth.

Yup. Stan Williams. A murderer who doesn't discriminate.

[Catherine Vincent]

13. Sounds like you're talking about Bush.

[Aretha]

15. No, I was talking about Williams

His Crips did more damage to the inner city blacks than the Klan.

[Catherine Vincent]

16. That is true, but your post above describes Bush as well.

[Brewman_Jax]

18. Cite your source

n/t

[Aretha]

20. Source for what, specifically?

I made a number of assertions. Which ones are you disputing?

[ComerPerro]

19. That's not what this is about. They will kill Scott Peterson just the same

won't care that he is white, won't care if he turns his life around.

And they won't care if he challenges and says he is innocent.

This isn't racially motivated.
