Tookie was convicted of killing 4 people - including a 26 year old man whom he shot in the back.

I also read:

Schwarzenegger also pointed out the brutality of the crimes, noting that Williams allegedly said about one of the killings, "You should have heard the way he sounded when I shot him." According to the governor's account, Williams then made a growling noise and laughed for five to six minutes.

God bless the victim's families.

I would like to meet Arnold so I could shake his hand.
