By executing Tookie Williams, the State of California is demonstrating that Rehabilitation is not a goal they have set for their prison population.
What I find sad is that religious idiots like Pat Robertson can petition a Governor for Clemency based upon a prisoner becoming a "Born again Christian" (search Karla Faye Tucker for more info on this bs) but let another prisoner actually do some well documented good in his life behind bars and there is not a peep from the religious camp to spare that man's life.
I just read Schwarzenegger's denial for clemency and most of the reasons center on Tookie Wilson's insistence that he is innocent. By not admitting to the crime, it was viewed as no remorse and no remorse = no clemency.
