In the quarter century between restoration of the Illinois death
penalty and Governor George Ryan's blanket clemency order,
298 men and women were sentenced to death in Illinois. Of those,
18 have been exonerated - a rate of 6%, the highest exoneration
rate of the 38 states with death penalties on their books.

One out of every 16 persons sentenced to die in Illinois
in the past 25 years was innocent. Astonishing does not
cover it. The web page lists the exonorees and gives
their stories and stats.

When Darlie Routier is put to death, will you feel that justice has
been served?

Moot -- it'll never happen. Even once they make it to death row,
women's chances of being executed are less than half that of men.

Texas/Karla Faye Tucker


Karla Faye Tucker was guilty... whereas Darlie Routier isn't.
Willfully putting an innocent mother on death row after the
prosecution conspired to withhold exonerating evidence only goes to
prove just how screwed up our justice system really is.
