Regardless of what you may have seen in "The Fugitive" or "The Shawshank Redemption", those on Death Row are not there by accident.
Even those that have been cleared of a particular crime, are usually involved in others that they never answer for. A rapist is usually not caught, convicted and sent away for his first rape. He is usually not even caught for his first couple of rapes.
Tookie is a good example, as he co-founded the Crips, which makes him partially responsible for every single murder perpetrated by that gang, and also all the collateral damage that gang violence, murder, drugs and crime have brought to many innocent people. He could easily be tagged as the Twentieth Century's Typhoid Mary, bringing death to places it had no business being. He created a scourge that we are still fighting. He is beyond redemption and beyond rehabilitation.
Bring on the needle, it's much more humane than he deserves.
Quite the contrast to my sig, isn't it?
