I live in DuPage during both of these trials.
Jim Ryan is a complete idiot!

[eyepatch]

Finally he says sorry after almost putting 2 innocent
men to death....Now the question is can a state that
has had some pretty wrongful govenors afford to
elect a man that was so wrong about this case???

I would hope that one Govenor Ryan was enough....
but at least the last Govenor Ryan had the common sense
to realize that something is wrong with the system not
put innocent or railroaded men to death...

Lets say NO to Jim Ryan before he continues his
record of being stubbornly wrong......

It's easy to apologize to people you've already murdered

Another Rick Perry....ugh!

I don't think he can hear you...a day late and a dollar short.

he was so anxious to promote his political career that he forgot to look for the possibility the real killer was still out there. i can never vote for a man who almost put two innocent people into the electric chair. see, dupage county was so white then they never questioned putting minorities in the electric chair. that way they could keep them out of their county.

Now go find that one armed man!

I don't think the good people of Illinois are up for another "Governor Ryan." Not in this lifetime, we can't afford it.
