In Chicago, Rev. Jesse Jackson urged California Gov. Schwarzenegger to spare Stanley Williams, a Crips co founder on death row for four killings in 1979. Williams, 51, has written books aiding youths and inspired the film Redemption. Jackson linked clemency to ending the death penalty and noted potential wrongful conviction while highlighting disparities in legal representation.
