Death row inmate gets visit from Snoop Dogg

Time is starting to run out on condemned inmate Stanley "Tookie" Williams. And one of those who is looking in on him is Snoop Dogg.

SAN QUENTIN, Calif. (AP) -- Time is starting to run out on condemned inmate Stanley "Tookie" Williams. And one of those who is looking in on him is Snoop Dogg. The rapper went to San Quentin State Prison to visit with Williams and spent about two hours on the prison grounds. Snoop says Williams was upbeat during their meeting. Snoop was once a member of the Crips, the street gang that Williams helped found decades ago. Snoop's one of several celebrities who are lobbying for California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger to grant Williams clemency -- reducing his sentence from death to life in prison without parole. If that doesn't happen, Williams is to die by lethal injection on Tuesday.
