    How and Why Illinois Abolished the Death Penalty

    Minnesota Journal of Law & Inequality Volume 30 Issue 2 Article 2 December 2012 How and Why Illinois Abolished the Death Penalty Rob Warden Follow this and additional works at: https://lawandinequality.org/ Recommended Citation Rob Warden, How and Why Illinois Abolished the Death Penalty, 30(2) LAW & INEQ. 245 (2012). Available at: https://scholarship.law.umn.edu/lawineq/vol30/iss2/2 Minnesota Journal of Law & Inequality is published by the University of Minnesota Libraries Publishing. 245 How and Why Illinois Abolished the Death Penalty Rob Wardent Introduction The late J. Paul Getty had a formula for becoming wealthy: rise early, work late-and strike oil.' That is also the formula for abolishing the death penalty, or at least it is a formula-the one that worked in Illinois. When Governor Pat Quinn signed legislation ending capital punishment in Illinois on March 9, 2011, he tacitly acknowledged the early rising and late working that preceded the occasion. "Since our experience has shown that there is no way to design a perfect death penalty system, free from the numerous flaws that can lead to wrongful convictions or discriminatory treatment, I have concluded that the proper course of action is to abolish it." 2 The experience to which the governor referred was not something that dropped like a gentle rain from heaven upon the place beneath and seeped into his consciousness by osmosis. Rather, a cadre of public defenders, pro bono lawyers, journalists, academics, and assorted activists, devoted tens of thousands, perhaps hundreds of thousands, of hours, over more than three decades, to the abolition movement.

  • Description of Bite Mark Exonerations

    Description of Bite Mark Exonerations

    DESCRIPTION OF BITE MARK EXONERATIONS 1. Keith Allen Harward: Keith Harward was convicted of the September 1982 murder of a man and the rape of his wife. The assailant, who was dressed as a sailor, bit the rape victim’s legs multiple times during the commission of the rape. Because of the assailant’s uniform, the investigation focused on the sailors aboard a Navy ship dry-docked near the victims’ Newport News, Virginia, home. Dentists aboard the ship ran visual screens of the dental records and teeth of between 1,000 and 3,000 officers aboard the ship; though Harward’s dentition was initially highlighted for additional screening, a forensic dentist later excluded Harward as the source of the bites. The crime went unsolved for six months, until detectives were notified that Harward was accused of biting his then-girlfriend in a dispute. The Commonwealth then re-submitted wax impressions and dental molds of Harward's dentition to two ABFO board-certified Diplomates, Drs. Lowell Levine and Alvin Kagey, who both concluded that Harward was the source of bite marks on the rape victim. Although the naval and local dentists who conducted the initial screenings had excluded Harward as the source of the bites, in the wake of the ABFO Diplomates’ identifications they both changed their opinions. Harward’s defense attorneys also sought opinions from two additional forensic dentists prior to his trials, but those experts also concluded that Harward inflicted the bites; in total, six forensic dentists falsely identified Harward as the biter. At Harward's second trial, Dr.

    Geejam Opens in Port Antonio, Jamaica

    Press Enquiries Louise Swanne Riva PR 0208 704 4500 [email protected] GEEJAM OPENS IN PORT ANTONIO, JAMAICA A Stylish Equilibrium Between Ultra Modern Technology and the Intrinsic Grace of Jamaica’s Organic Vibe Resonate at New Resort PORT ANTONIO, JAMAICA — Island Outpost, record mogul Chris Blackwell’s boutique hotel collection, announces the opening of Geejam in Port Antonio. Originally founded by music producer Jon Baker as a recording hideaway that played host to No Doubt, Common, India.Arie, Björk and Gorillaz, among others, Baker has now joined forces with fellow music industry veteran Steve Beaver to metamorphosize Geejam into an insider escape. The result? A stylish equilibrium between ultra modern technology and the intrinsic grace of Jamaica’s organic island vibe and sensibility. Located on six acres of the lush San San Estate, the property extends from the foothills of the John Crow and Blue Mountain chains to the Caribbean beachfront. Within immediate proximity is Frenchman’s Cove -- voted by Condé Nast Traveller as one of the world’s top five beaches. Just minutes away is the equally enchanting Blue Lagoon, while several other stunning beaches offer ideal spots for exploration. Guests can choose to take to the sea on a jet ski, scope out the waves on a surf safari, or simply chill out with a Champagne picnic in a private cove while rafting down the Rio Grande. The property also borders Drapers, which was a little known village until Gwen Stefani gave it props at the 2003 Grammy Awards after they recorded No Doubt’s multi-platinum album Hey Baby at Geejam.
