Illinois moves to restore death penalty for certain murders
The Illinois Senate approved a revised death penalty bill by 35 to 12, sending it back to the House for final approval before forwarding to Governor Daniel Walker. The measure limits capital punishment to repeat killers and those who murder police, fire, or prison officials, with other death scenarios removed. A Will County survey influenced support, and the House also advanced a joint resolution to put a constitutional amendment on the November 1974 ballot.
