death penalty system is arbitrary and capricious and therefore immoral I no longer shall tinker with the machinery of death ILLINOIS GOV GEORGE RYAN WHO COMMUTED THE SENTENCES OF 167 CONDEMNED INMATES

1985 by Robert Turner whose sentence was commuted It was a sharp contrast from the jubilant reaction at Northwestern University where journalism students investigating Illinois death row cases have helped exonerate some inmates Ryan's speech was attended by a who's who of penalty activists Gov Ryan has taught us what leading truly looks said Lawrence C Marshall director of the Center on Wrongful
