Mr. FOXX: OK. Here's the thing: The minute that you shake somebody's hand like Stanley "Tookie" Williams, you have to know that you're going to be connected with him.
The bodybuilder who terrorised 1970s South Central Los Angeles with his "Crips" gang will be strapped to a medical table, and a lethal injection will bring Stanley "Tookie" Williams' 24 years on death row to an end.
