{{ | {{Quote|My lack of fear of this barbaric methodology of death, I rely upon my faith. It has nothing to do with machismo, with manhood, or with some pseudo former gang street code. This is pure faith, and predicated on my redemption. So, therefore, I just stand strong and continue to tell you, your audience, and the world that I am innocent and, yes, I have been a wretched person, but I have redeemed myself. And I say to you and all those who can listen and will listen that redemption is tailor-made for the wretched, and that's what I used to be…That's what I would like the world to remember me. That's how I would like my legacy to be remembered as: a redemptive transition, something that I believe is not exclusive just for the so-called sanctimonious, the elitists. And it doesn't—is not predicated on color or race or social stratum or one's religious background. It's accessible for everybody. That's the beauty about it. And whether others choose to believe that I have redeemed myself or not, I worry not, because I know and God knows, and you can believe that all of the youths that I continue to help, they know, too. So with that, I am grateful…I say to you and everyone else, God bless. So take care.}} | ||

Stanley Tookie Williams (December 29, 1953 - December 13, 2005). He was one of the founders of the famous American street gang of the Crips. | |||
He was sentenced to death in 1981 for the murder of four people (two white women and an Asian family in a store) in 1979. While incarcerated, Williams was anti-violent and wrote a children's book. However, he did not cooperate with the investigation of his gang and was involved in assault attempts and prison break. He claimed innocence until the death penalty in 2005. He is the twelfth executioner in California since the death penalty in 1977. | He was sentenced to death in 1981 for the murder of four people (two white women and an Asian family in a store) in 1979.
