It strikes me that these folks are protesting the death penalty, and are not professing this fellow's innocence. Huge difference.

You're fooling yourself. You don't see them protesting Scott Peterson's death sentence. How about anyone else's scheduled execution?

And one thing you're overlooking: Snoop Dogg was a frickin' MEMBER of Tookie's gang. Funny how you gloss that over.

I have no idea what you're talking about.

It is my contention that the argument is not about this person's innocence. It is accepted that he is guilty. The argument is about the death penalty.

As far as I am concerned there is no reason to commute this guy's sentence. He killed 4 people in cold blood. The very least he could do is show remorse. And part of that remorse would be an acknowledgement of what he did and an apology to the families of the victims. The fact that he has not admitted to his crimes, nor issued an apology, is very telling to me.

Oh and btw, if you think that the anti-death penalty folks will not be at the prison protesting when Scott Peterson is days away from being offed, IMHO, you are mistaken.

Jesse Jackson won't be there..because to him this has nothing to do with justice. It has to do with race. He wants everyone to be treated equally, until they are.
