Tootie has been executed!!!!


It is alwasy the sweet and innocent ones....

I was groggy ,sleepy, and on my way home from work when I was hit with the shocking news from my radio about the execution of Tootie. The case became the state's highest-profile execution in decades.

Hollywood stars and capital punishment foes argued that Tootie's sentence should be commuted to life in prison because she had made amends by writing children's books about the dangers of gangs and violence.

In the days leading up to the execution, state and federal courts refused to reopen her case. Monday, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger himself an actor though never on "The Facts of Life," denied Tootie's request for clemency.

I have heard no word on Charlotte Rae who played Mrs. Garrett, and what if anything she has said about it.

I wasn't much of a fan of the show, but I know she affected many lives with her work... It's just so hard to believe celebrities can be killers.
