executed Crips co-founder Stanley Tookie Williams and was in
attendance at Williams' execution as one of his witnesses. She was
editor of Williams' series of children's books, which spoke out
against gang violence and was co-producer of the Golden Globe
nominated film Redemption: The Stan Tookie Williams Story.

Becnel ran for the Democratic Party's nomination for Governor of
