I'd like to be wrong about this, but I'd say it's a better than even chance that the Governor lets Tookie live. He is, after all, a European. Europeans are have an automatic reflex when it comes to opposing the death penalty when America does it. (They don't seem to mind it when they load up millions of people on trains and haul them to concentration camps, or when it is applied by a ruthless dictator in a country other than America). He's got a lot of pressure from left wing groups and Hollywood types, and is probably thinking about possible "civil disobedience," should he let the sentence be carried out.
He's still the governor and he should not let threats of mob violence, whether implied or explicit, sway the justice system. That's a very dangerous precedent.

This is the bane of liberalism. Our laws are what count. This murderer was convicted and sentenced to death. No evidence has been produced that would counter that verdict. He should die, as he should have 26 years ago (disgusting onto itself)...what Europeans think better not enter into this AT ALL. It is AMERICAN LAW, AMERICAN COURTS and an AMERICAN DEATH PENALTY. Nothing else should enter into it.
