  1. Capital Punishment - Recommendations (DeathPenaltyInfo.org)
      Provides recommendations related to capital punishment, based on an extensive review of facts by the Illinois Commission on Capital Punishment.

      "In January 2000, Ryan appointed the 14-member Commission after Illinois had released 13 innocent inmates from death row in the same time that it had executed 12. Ryan asked the group, which includes "some of the best, brightest, and most honorable people in Illinois," to closely examine the administration of the death penalty in the state. His deep concern that flaws in Illinois's current policies would result in the execution of an innocent person also led him to declare a groundbreaking moratorium on executions."

      The Commission released 85 recommendations, including:

      "-Videotaping of all interrogations of capital suspects conducted in a police facility.
      -Reducing the number of crimes eligible for a death sentence from 20 to five (cases in which the defendant has murdered two or more persons, where the victim was either a police officer or firefighter, where the victim was an officer or inmate of a correctional institution, when the murder was committed to obstruct the justice system, or when the victim was tortured in the course of the murder).
      Forbidding capital punishment in cases where the conviction is based solely on the testimony of a single eyewitness.
      -Barring capital punishment in cases where the defendant is mentally retarded.
      -Establishing a state-wide commission -- comprised of the Attorney General, three prosecutors, and a retired judge -- to confirm a local state's attorney's decision to seek the death penalty.
      -Intensifying the scrutiny of testimony provided by in-custody informants during a pre-trial hearing to determine the reliability of the testimony before it is received in a capital trial.
      -Requiring a trial judge to concur with a jury's determination that a death sentence is appropriate, or, if not, sentence the defendant to natural life." 2-03
