I just became aware this guy from a radio piece i heard a couple of days ago. He actally started the Crips gang in Los Angeles, but has changed profoundly during his years in prison. He's a strong influence now in keeping young people out of gangs, and inspiring them to turn their lives around if they're headed in the wrong direction... I don't know.... I tend to think he should be allowed to continue to live so that he can remain as a positive influence. HE WOULD STILL REMAIN IN PRISON, after all - probably for the rest of his life. I think executing this particular person now would, aside from serving very little, if any, purpose, send a very ugly message to a community that needs to know the government does recognize and value self-transformation

I agree completely - I know that he did some horrible things, but now he is doing nothing but goood and the society would gain nothing from executing him.
