Execution day?

All eyes on Schwarzenegger as execution day
dawns

Former gang leader Stanley "Tookie" Williams was due to
be executed by lethal injection this morning, barring a
last-minute act of clemency by the governor of California,
Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Last night Williams was preparing to move to a new cell at
San Quentin prison before his planned execution at
12.01am local time.
Appeals from lawyers representing Williams were rejected
by courts in California at the weekend, and with a final
appeal being heard yesterday it appeared that his last
hope lay with Mr Schwarzenegger.
Williams has refused a final meal, to meet a chaplin or to
have a witness at his execution. There were rallies in his
support at the weekend, including a demonstration at the
church attended by Mr Schwarzenegger, and a vigil
continued outside San Quentin.
