Don't think so. He looks too old.
He's this clown:
"raised the national debate on capital punishment by issuing a moratorium on executions in 2000 "
"raised the national debate on capital punishment by issuing a moratorium on executions in 2000"
That's about the only GOOD thing he did. With the number that they found on death row that were innocent, and the fact that Illinois had been in the same league as Mississippi when it comes to low funding for defense teams (until recently MS only paid defense lawyers $1000 for capital cases) it only made sense to stop executions temporarily at the least.
I'd rather pay for 156 scumbags to sit in prison for life than to execute 17 innocent people.
