why are so much people against Stanley ?

The two people who lived with Tookie were facing their own criminal charges and were offered immunity in their own cases to testify against Tookie. The shotgun was found in THEIR house.

Type Tookie into google yourself and read the cases online, and find out all about the married couple that sold him out in exchange for the DA dropping other criminal cases against them. The pivotal testimony against Tookie was by Coward who is now in jail for murdering someone else. Without his word, nothing else stood. Everyone who testified against Tookie was offered money and favors and protection and immunity for their own crimes by the prosecutors, and many witnesses have come forward to say that those who testified admitted they were pressured to do so not because of these framed up murders, but because he was leading a dangerous gang which was commiting crimes that were not provable without someone to testify against him.

Get your facts in order. Here's a good start for you-- knock yourself out kid.

..........Williams claims that the police found "not a shred of tangible evidence, no fingerprints, no crime scenes of bloody boot prints. They didn't match my boots, nor eyewitnesses. Even the shotgun shells found conveniently at each crime scene didn't match the shotgun shells that I owned." However, the prosecution's firearms expert, a sheriff's deputy, testified during trial that the shotgun shell recovered from the Yang murder crime scene matched test shells from the shotgun owned by Stanley Williams. No second examiner verified his findings. The Defense claims this expert's methodology was "junk science at best." [6]

Wiliams' gun was found in the home of a couple with whom he had been living. According to the District Attorney, the husband was undergoing sentencing for receiving stolen property and tried for extortion. Williams' lawyers have claimed that the District Attorney quashed a murder investigation in exchange for their testimony. The two shells recovered from the Owens crime scene were consistent with shells fired from this gun, with no exclusionary markings.[7] In addition, nearly 20 years after Williams' trial it was discovered that a Los Angeles police officer had left a copy of the police murder file involving his case in an informant’s cell for overnight study. The next day the murder file was picked up by that same officer, and the informant informed the police that Williams had volunteered a confession to him. In return for his court testimony, the informant – who himself was facing the death penalty for rape, murder and mutilation – was given a lesser sentence that allowed him the possibility of parole and freedom.

............According to the clemency petition, in his closing arguments, Martin described Williams as a "Bengal tiger in captivity in a zoo" and said the jury needed to imagine him in his natural "habitat" which was like "going into the back country, into the hinterlands." In a radio interview, Martin stated that the analogy was not meant to be racial, and instead was a metaphor to the fact that Williams appeared in court dressed in business attire much like an animal in a zoo appears more docile than it would be in the wild.

According to Williams' defense attorneys, in two subsequent cases, Martin was rebuked by the California appeals courts for using race as a criterion in jury selection and had two murder convictions overturned on those grounds.

.....In November 2005, the Fontana, California Police Department advised print and television media that a warrant had been issued for registered sex offender Lafayette Jones. Jones, wanted for allegedly molesting an ex-girlfriend's 13-year-old daughter at gunpoint, was identified by the police department as the son of Stanley Tookie Williams. [28] [29] Williams' official Reply Petition for Executive Clemency submitted on November 21, 2005, by Peter Fleming, Jr., stated that this was a lie purported by the police department, including an attached declaration from Lafayette Jones' mother, which declared under penalty of perjury that Lafayette was not Stanley Tookie Williams' son.

....The Los Angeles Police Department, the Los Angeles County District Attorney, and other law enforcement doubt that Williams has reformed, saying that he has refused to divulge information on other gang members, or debrief officials on the tactics and communication methods that gangs use. Williams has said he didn't want to be a "snitch." Schwarzenegger has said he would consider granting clemency to Williams. [21]

.....In 2002, Williams appeared before a three-judge panel on the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. The panel upheld his conviction, but in a rare move urged then-Governor Gray Davis to consider commuting the death sentence. The judges praised Williams for his "laudable efforts opposing gang violence" and his "good works and accomplishments since incarceration".

On November 30, 2005, the California Supreme Court refused to reopen his case in a 4-2 decision [22].

A 4-2 decision even among judges in the CA SUPREME COURT when a man's life hangs in the balance. How right do you think YOU are? Right enough to kill a man who might have been easily framed by cowards who get favors for testifying against him and by cops and prosecutors who are judged by their conviction rates?? WHO HAS UNDENIABLE EVIDENCE THAT TOOKIE IS GUILTY??!! No ONE!
