What?
California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has heard a final plea to halt the execution of ex-gang leader Stanley "Tookie" Williams.
Who's "Tookie"?
Williams, co-founder of the notorious Los Angeles Crips street-gang, was sentenced to death in 1981 for the murder of four people, which he denies. Williams faces death by lethal injection on 13 December at San Quentin prison, north of San Francisco.
Why must he die?
Prosecutor John Monaghan told reporters the evidence in the case was "truly overwhelming" and that Williams' crime was so brutal "it simply justifies the ultimate penalty".
Who does not want him dead?
Earlier this week, South Africa's Winnie Mandela became the latest high-profile personality to call for clemency for Williams.
While in jail Williams, 51, has won praise for his anti-gang books, earning several Nobel Peace Prize nominations for his teachings.
His supporters range from Oscar-winning actor Jamie Foxx and rap star Snoop Dogg (himself a former Crips member).
Do u want him to die?
guess he'll be fine. He wrote a book that is against his past-doings wat. Sufficient repenting there lah.
get rid of these scumbags.
