NAACP Presents Petitions To Stop 'Tookie' Execution - Yahoo! News: "Those fighting to save Stanley 'Tookie' Williams from execution took another step forward Tuesday as leaders from the NAACP took boxes of petitions to the governor's office.
The group's president, Bruce Gordon, calls Williams a 'secret weapon' for helping young blacks stay out of gangs, adding that Williams' execution would be a mistake.
'These petitions represent diverse views. They say the same: Keep Stan Williams Alive. That's the message,' Gordon said.
Williams' advocates said that he should have never been convicted of four murders in 1979 because the evidence was circumstantial."
