As planned, Tookie Williams was executed in the middle of last night. In other news, former president Gerald Ford, who is 92 years old, was hospitalized for a very bad cold. Let's hope he gets well soon!
Now for this day in history: two years ago Saddam Hussein was discovered hiding in a spider hole and was captured by U.S. troops. Additionally, one year ago a jury unjustly recommended the death penalty for Scott Peterson. A month earlier, the same jury convicted him in the murders of his pregnant wife and unborn son. In my opinion, Scott does not deserve death. He clearly did not want to be married or have a baby, and his wife had no right to pressure him into it. The fact that Scott was trying to escape a situation his wife had forced him into should certainly be considered a mitigating factor, but clearly the jury did not agree with me!
