I keep hearing people ask why all the attention is focused on Tookie when there are other more deserving cases.

The reason Tookie is such a big deal is that it is only in cases of this sort where the crime was so heinous, that the civilization of a people is truly tested. It's how we treat the very worst of us, that defines how civilized we are.

We are so old testament.
