Can you be sentenced to death in IL?

Does Illinois still do the death penalty?
If so, what would you have to do to get it?
Will murder in the first degree make you be sentenced to death?


    




Otto Maddox
While Illinois still has the death penalty as an option, it won't be exercised anytime soon.

The last Governor clear death row in Illinois because of all the problems they had with crooked cops framing people. They couldn't determine who was framed and who was guilty and the Governor didn't want to execute an innocent person during his watch.

That's the whole problem with the death penalty. It assumes you have a perfect justice system and there is NO ONE in this country who could possibly believe our justice system is perfect.
