Re: Stanley 'Tookie' Williams

Amanda,

I have to completely disagree with your assessment of capitol punishment in the US. No person in a high position, Governor or judge 'gives the order' to end someone's life.

The accused is tried by a jury of their peers, ordinary people from all walks of life, chosen randomly from the pool of registered voters. The laws have been established by both state and federal legislators.

When a person is tried the duty of the court (judge and jury) is to decide which (if any) law has been broken.

The only person truly responsible for the execution of a person who committed a capitol crime, is THAT person: the criminal. He is the one person who had a free choice, and the ability to stop the crime before it was committed.
