Illinois 

Lawmakers Propose Death Penalty Abolition


A group of five Illinois legislators introduced a bill to repeal the death penalty in the state.  The move comes a year after Gov. George Ryan declared a moratorium on executions and appointed a commission to study the state's capital punishment system. The bill would replace the death penalty with a sentence of life without parole. (Chicago Tribune, 2/26/01)
