Candidate for Illinois Governor On Ending the Death Penalty
Illinois
gubernatorial candidate Ronald Burris said he would sign legislation to end
the death penalty if it was presented to him.
Burris, a former Illinois Attorney General, says he supports the
death penalty in principle, but added that the release of 13 innocent
inmates from Illinois's death row has changed his mind about the death
penalty in practice. "I don't think we'll ever see the death penalty executed
in Illinois again," said Burris.
