A blanket clemency for all death row inmates in Illinois?
Polls Have Closed
 		 YES
In a state with such an error-prone death penalty system, the sentences should be commuted to life in prison
NO
This would be a slap in the face to the victims. Clemency petitions should be considered on a case-by-case basis

Illinois Gov. George Ryan has suggested that he may grant a blanket clemency to all death row inmates in his state. The death penalty system in Illinois is "fraught with error," Ryan says, and several inmates say that confessions were beaten out of them.

We'll send your vote to Illinois Governor George Ryan.

 		 Clemency should only be granted if it is warranted in an individual case. A blanket clemency would let several convicted murderers - who deserve the strongest possible punishment - off easy. Gov. Ryan must not forget what the victims have suffered.
