A nation of laws has consequences for
breaking them. A jury of 12 people, found Mr. Williams guilty, a verdict and sentence that has stood up over 25 years of debate, appeals and legal pleadings. To include the latest "must re-open" appeal to the California Supreme Court. If you disagree with the death penalty, then your time would better spent trying to get it thrown out in general, rather than trying to sway folks towards clemency for this man. In my opinion, this man is a monster. He has demonstrated no remorse whatsoever for these crimes. His Jail-house redemption again, in my opinion, is a sham. It is nothing more than a feeble attempt to get the mercy that he denied to 4 innocent people. He nearly wiped out an entire family for the sum of 600 dollars, and killed another man for just over 100 dollars, and then mocked and laughed at the man's last gasping breaths.
Will his death accomplish anything? Will it act as a deterrent? Will it bring the victims back? To the first two questions the answer is no, and to the last one it is a definite NO. But what it will do, is uphold the laws of the nation and state, that tried, convicted and sentenced the man to death. He has had due process, and 25 years to make amends, if he hasn't done so by now, he isn't going to.
I am not always for, or always against the death penalty, there are times when it is appropriate, and there times when it is not. This case is one of the times when it is appropriate.
Is it vengeance? Quite possibly, but as an imperfect human being, I admit that I am not above revenge. Executing this man in revenge for the four INNOCENTS that he murdered, is certainly a more valid reason than he had when he executed his victims. All without due process, all without clemency, and none were given the opportunity for redemption that he has had, and failed to take advantage of.
No, Mr. Williams, should not be given clemency. Pure and simple, the man should die, and deserves to. If he has truly found salvation, then that is between he and whatever god he subscribes to.

Argue the merits of the Death Penalty if you must, but do not present Mr. Williams as a victim, he is far from it.
