Shortly after Snoop Dogg's appearance at a rally protesting the forthcoming execution of Crips Gang co-founder Stanley "Tookie" Williams, California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has agreed to meet with the inmate's lawyers.

Just last week, Snoop joined thousands in front of the San Quentin Prison as they rallied in support of Williams. The Dogfather was asking for clemency for Williams, who is scheduled to be executed by lethal injection this coming December 13. The former terminator, who has not overturned a death sentence since his term as Governor began, said he would consider sparing Williams' life.

Margita Thompson, Schwarzenegger's press secretary, stated, "The Governor reviewed the material in the case this week and he decided the best route is a private clemency hearing, so he can hear directly from counsel."

Schwarzenagger could have called for a public hearing - allowing celebrities like Snoop, actor Jamie Foxx, and The Rev. Jesse Jackson to plead the ex gang banger's innocence - but felt that a closed session will keep stars from meddling with the process.

Williams was sentenced to death in 1981 for killing four people in two robberies. His supporters like the aforementioned Snoop and actor Foxx are asking for clemency, arguing that Williams has become an inspiration to troubled youths and that his books have helped kids leave gang banging behind.

In related news Snoop, along with fellow Dogg Pound members Nate Dogg, Kurrupt, and Daz Dillinger, recently shot a video for their single "Real Soon" dedicated to Tookie. In the video Snoop is seen wearing a Save Tookie.Org t-shirt.

He might have still been faulsly acused, i read about it a couple of weeks ago
and the article said that there were some uncertainties in his trial.
Maybe the coppers really wanted him jailed.
