Gotta love this:
A lawyer for convicted murderer Stanley Tookie Williams asked the state Supreme Court to stay his execution, saying the Crips gang co-founder should have been allowed to argue that someone else killed one of his four alleged victims.
Attorney Verna Wefald filed a petition Saturday challenging the validity of the four convictions and death sentences given in 1981 to Williams, who is scheduled to die Tuesday at San Quentin State Prison. She also filed an emergency request seeking a stay, the Los Angeles Times reported.
Williams’ lawyers also have asked Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger to grant clemency, saying Williams has redeemed himself as shown by his books urging children not to join gangs. Schwarzenegger’s office said Saturday the governor had not made a decision.
Williams was convicted of killing a man during a robbery in February 1979 and of murdering a couple and their daughter at a South Los Angeles motel in March 1979.
[…]From behind bars, Williams has been nominated five times for a Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts to quell gang violence and four times for a Nobel Prize in literature.
Yes, we know how difficult it is to be nominated for a Nobel Prize:
In an effort to mock the Nobel Peace Prize nominations, William Wulf Handel, morning host on KFI 640 in Los Angeles, convinced a S. California congressman to nominate him for a Nobel Peace Price. The congressman did it with the promise that his name would never be revealed. He was apparently embarrassed, but went along with the prank.
Handel read the letter on the air (the link above) and just appeared on the John and Ken show to discuss it.
Handel is pulling the stunt because of the Nobel Peace Prize nominations of murdering scum Stanley “Tookie” Williams, set for letal injection at San Quentin on Dec. 13. Tookie brutally murdered four people and is still alive well over two decades later.
Williams is the darling of the leftist Hollywood crowd, including Mike Farrell and Snoop Dogg. They don’t want him to die. He co-authored a few children’s books and has supposedly spoken out about gang violence. The psychopath has actually convinced some fools that he has redeemed himself. That redemption, of course, does not include admitting what he did or turning in other murderers.
[…]The money from the sale of his books is used to support at-risk youth programs and to continue his appeals, his lawyers said.
Yes, all the money from his books sold, all 330 of them, will go along way to supporting those programs. They can probably buy lunch for 3 people with the profits.
Wefald’s petition argues that prosecutors failed to disclose at trial that witness Alfred Coward was not a U.S. citizen and had a violent criminal history, depriving Williams of the opportunity to argue Coward was the killer in the February 1979 robbery.
So he should be granted clemency because they feel ONE of the murder’s might have been by someone else? Because Alfred Coward had a criminal record that should grant him another trial? Who are they trying to kid. Alfred Coward was a FRIEND of Stanley Williams. He wasn’t a bystander just walking by, he was there during the commission of the crime. Of course many of the witnesses had criminal records, because Tookie did not allow any good witnesses to survive. The only one’s left alive were his cohorts. This doesn’t take brain science people.
The Defense had plenty of opportunities to bring up Alfred’s past during the trial at his MANY appeals, but if this is all they got, buh bye Tookie. Pathetic.
For those on the left who may stumble across my site and pray for Tookie to be spared, here is one of his victims:
Tookie has lived 25 years longer then the above pictured young man. Tookie has lived to see his offspring murder on their own while Albert was denied his opportunity to watch his kids grown up.
He denied the Yang family their lives but wants us to feel sorry for him. Lethal injection is too good for this scum, bring back the chair!

Four murders, 3 Appeals, CA State Supreme Court, US Supreme Court. What a ride. By his own admission per a court document, he laughed at the gurgling sounds of the blood gushing from Owens’ neck.
By the way, one angle his attorney is trying is claiming one of the witnesses was not a US citizen

Kill Tookie
Some would argue that there are very good reasons for it – aside from it, you know, being the law. Part of all these stuff that troubles me is how we marginalize the principles behind our Constitution with all this
