Re: Stanley "Tookie" Williams (hey dda!)
The law is not there to give satisfaction for the victims but to act as a deterrent.
Also, the law is there for the system, the victims aren't important as such as they are interchangable.
He should've ofcourse admitted his wrongs if he ever wanted a chance for clemency.
ps. Ofcourse there is some kind of satisfaction for the victims to see the perpetrator punished, however, that is not the final aim of any law. Or well, it shouldn't.
