Correction to Star story on Illinois Supreme Court decision
The Star corrects a Sunday report about the Illinois Supreme Court setting an execution date for Robert Simpson in the 1992 Glenwood murder. Family members dispute previous wording, saying Simpson shot Barbara Lindich when she looked around a corner to see what was happening in the Fairway Food Store. Lindich, not a grocery clerk, worked as a bartender nearby. The Star regrets the errors.
