High court sets execution date for Franklin in 1980 murder
Illinois Supreme Court, in a divided ruling, set a November 21 execution date for William Franklin for the 1980 Chicago Heights murder of Elgin Evans Jr. The majority rejected claims of trial unfairness over a witness who testified under a plea deal, while a dissent argued denial of due process. Evans was found shot, with Williams detailing events leading to the killing. Franklin had previous murder convictions used to justify the death sentence.
