zoocrew Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 This makes sixteen states that no longer use the death penalty. Illinois had stopped the executions after it had found that 13 men had been wrongly condemned. The fifteen men on death row had their sentences commuted to life.

+North of the Border Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 well if you arent going to use it, then why have it? If you are gonna make it a joke like the ne states and California then scrap it. I am totally in favor of it, IF you are gonna use it, and use it often! If not, why even have it on the books 1 Link to post Share on other sites
lotstodo Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 Only 12 executions in Illinois since 1976. Why even bother. Texas on the other hand "has the death penalty and they use it." They have executed 466 since 1976. Link to post Share on other sites
