Before beginning your final post on the death penalty, read the text of the speech that Governor Ryan made when declaring blanket commutation and the initial moratorium on the death penalty that led to its eventual end in Illinois. Then read this newspaper article about the repeal of the death penalty in Illinois.
When finished, write a post that describes whether or not you think the abolishment of the death penalty in Illinois was just. In your response, make sure you reference Governor Ryan's argument as well as the reasoning behind the Illinois' legislature's decision. You should also use several sources from the unit to support your position (films, articles, cases, research).
This post will be graded as an individual assignment as opposed to part of your blog as a whole. Please edit and proofread to eliminate any grammar or language errors and to ensure that your writing is as clear and sophisticated as it can be.
