I don't really know if I'd watch- I suppose it would just depend on the circumstances. I'm conflicted on the whole Tookie thing; he apparently has turned things around, but the simple fact remains that he was convicted of some pretty heinous crimes and was instrumental in developing a gang that has caused immeasurable pain and suffering over the years. At the very least he's had plenty of time to get right with his maker and/or himself, but his victims never had that chance. He has lived a long time, while they have been dead a long time. If I were a member of one of his victim's families, I suppose I would want to be there. I doubt any closure occurs, but it's better than nothing.
