Illinois moves to create violent offender registry for youth crimes
Kerry Skora, released after 15 years for a murder he says he did not commit, advocates a separate Illinois registry for violent crimes against youths to avoid the broad sex offender label. Lawmakers argue the split would better reflect risk without shrinking public safety. The bill passed the legislature and awaits Gov. Blagojevich's signature.
