That's a tough question.

On one hand, your life would be spared if you apologized. To many people, that's reason enough to apologize.

But on the other hand, wouldn't an apology be some what of a confession? If you're apologizing for a crime you didn't commit, in a way, you are acknowledging that you in fact did commit it by apologizing for it.

"Tookie" Williams' situation is different, though. He was guilty. Here's an exerpt from an article I posted in the other thread:

Quote:
Witnesses at the trial said Williams boasted about the killings, stating "You should have heard the way he sounded when I shot him." Williams then made a growling noise and laughed for five to six minutes, according to the transcript that the governor referenced in his denial of clemency.
