	Holy Willie's Prayer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Willie's soapy sanctimony is alternated with his self-justifying tales of his own fornication and other transgressions with very great skill.
		Willie Fisher (Holy Willie) was an elder of Daddy Auld's Calvinist kirk in Mauchline who conceived a dislike for Gavin Hamilton, a landlord and almoner (treasurer) in the kirk.
		Willie Fisher never recovered from the ignominy of this triple defeat, and, legend has it, was found dead in a ditch with a bottle of whisky.

	Quiet end to notorious crime: 'Willie' Mak sentenced to life (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Mak was convicted and sentenced to death in 1983 for the Wah Mee massacre, in which 13 people were robbed, hog-tied and fatally shot execution-style in the once-bustling Chinatown gambling club.
		Mak's accomplices, Benjamin Ng and Tony Ng, who are not related, were sentenced to life in prison.
		The lawyers argued that the informants could confirm that Mak was not the ringleader and didn't deserve the death penalty.

	Mak spared death for Wah Mee killings (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Kwan Fai "Willie" Mak was convicted of 13 murders.
		Ross says that Mak was not the ringleader in the crime, as prosecutors contend, noting that the 1983 jury specifically decided he did not kill as "part of a common scheme or plan."
		Mak's lawyers asked the judge to dismiss the possibility of a death sentence because jurors weren't asked whether two factors that made the case a capital crime -- killing in the course of a robbery, and killing to conceal the robbers' identities -- applied specifically to Mak and not just his accomplices.

		The behavior of Willie Mak, Benjamin Ng, and Tony Ng must be seen as interwoven with the larger social fabric of a larger Chinatown.
		Mak was a victim of sparring tongs, he pleaded, and Chinatown was filled with criminals.
		Mak simply knew how to plan a heist and fire a gun; that was enough to earn his own prominent position in the community -- as a thug and criminal; someone not to be messed with.

		Willie Mak is led back to prison after learning he would not face the death penalty.
		Kwan Fai "Willie" Mak, convicted in the deaths of 13 people in the 1983 Wah Mee Massacre in Seattle's Chinatown, will not face the death penalty.
		Mak, now 41, was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to death in 1983 after jurors found that he and two other men stormed into the Wah Mee gambling club, hog-tied 13 people, robbed them and shot them in their heads.

		Mak also enlisted the help of Tony Ng (no relation to Benjamin Ng) -- a shy, quiet, reserved 24-year-old Chinese American immigrant who worked at his parents’ restaurant in North Seattle.
		Within hours of the murders, Willie Mak and Benjamin Ng were apprehended.
		Willie Mak initially received the death penalty, but his sentence was later reduced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.

		Willie Mak, wearing a blue shirt and gray slacks, sat with his head resting in his hand and exhibited no signs of emotion as he listened to the opening statements.
		Mak had learned at a young age that tongs were a "bunch of hoodlums" and he described joining the tong as "the fast way to get ahead." Mak paid about twenty dollars in dues and pledged loyalty to the Hop Sing tong.
		Mak was not guilty of aggravated first-degree murder, Madsen told the jury, because he did not enter the Wah Mee Club with the intent to kill.

		It omits the motif of Willie's mother's curse which has provided the name for one of the titles given to the ballad (The Mother's Malison) although it might be argued that the curse is implicit in her strongly expressed disapproval.
		Willie Edward's version, a superbly enunciated example of 'auld style' ballad Scots, gives us the second half of the ballad.
		It is therefore wholly in accordance with the techniques of oral composition that Willie, in extremis, should be reminded of his earlier trust in his 'ain horse heels'.

		Fueled by a solid foundation and belief in God, Willie's desire to see lives impacted by his music ignites his passion to deliver his street-edged rhymes over cutting egde beats, soaring him over the competition.
		In comparison to the rewards that Willie has his heart set on, fame appears to be a miniscule entity while fortune presents itself as a fleeting shadow.
		Willie Will recently finished a hip hop concert tour with other artists where he saw thousands of young people touched, impacted and even changed by his music.

	DIM MAK :: bands :: Pearlene
		It seems to me the blues have not died, and if they have it is not because of the White Stripes popularity or even the rise in bands like Pearlene; it would be because it has been criminally underappreciated by young adults everywhere between the ages of 18/25.
		On their second full length, Pearlene ups the ante that they had placed on their eponymous debut that came out mere months earlier on Sympathy For The Record Industry, this time digging even deeper into the swamp blues bug and ditching some of the more conventional punkabilly romping of the past.
		Drawing on influences from Creedence Clearwater Revival to Blind Willie McTell, they cover the more down and dirty side of their guitars and blow open the doors of harmonica heaven.

		The two perpetrators of the 1983 Wah Mee massacre in Seattle – Benjamin Ng and Kwan Fai “Willie” Mak – both wound up with life without parole for murdering 13 members of a gambling club.
		But Johnson’s argument is hard to ignore in a state whose laws generally call for proportionate sentences for similar crimes.
		With the likes of Ridgway, Ng and Mak living out their lives in prison, Dayva Cross’ execution – if it ever happens – may well be the legal equivalent of a capricious bolt of lightning.
