ESSAY ON: Governor George Ryan’s Last Minute Commute of Death Sentences in Illinois: The Right of a Wrong or Just One More Aspect of Deeply Rooted Corruption?

Number of Pages 9

This research paper: A 9 page overview of the corruption inherent in Ryan’s last minute decision to commute the death sentences of some of Illinois’ most contemptible criminals. The author approaches the death sentence from an ethical standpoint as being in the best interest of society as a whole. Despite the many improprieties which were demonstrated to exist in Illinois’ criminal justice system, Ryan’s decision to commute the death sentence of all death row inmates is inexcusable as he was elected to office by a public whose wishes were to instate and enforce capital punishment. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
