When I first shook Stanley Williams' hand, I knew that he was innocent and that we'd be connected until he was either executed or he died in San Quentin. I was disappointed by the way (court authorities) kept their distance because I don't think anybody wanted to get to know him. Once you did know him, you couldn't kill him.
