do you think the former govenor of illinois should have been convicted or do you feel he was targetted ??

My understanding is that it is part of an ongoing offensive against corruption in Illinois. Ryan isn't the only person caught up in it. Mayor Daley's former patronage chief faces trial shortly along with three colleagues. My understanding is that it isn't related to capital punishment.

Yeah, I agree it wasn't bright on his part. He was punished for it, and most people don't even care to ever see him again after it. He made a mistake, and hopefully he's sorry about doing it. \nI gotta agree with BungieBabe too. The media also does it as well.

Does it even matter anymore?  He was found not guilty. I watched the trail and I would have given the same verdict if I was a juror.  \n\nForget about it and move on! \n\nThe Killa's not thinking about it!

Is he guilty?  If he's still in jail from 1979 - it must have been pretty heinous.  I vote you leave him there until he's finished serving his time.

He was in a position of RESPONSIBILITY !\n\nHe did it.\nHe must be held responsible for his crimes.

I agree with you. He wants to be a martyr. The worst punishment we could give him right now is life inprisonment. That would drive him and his supporters nuts!

Obviously he was a man that should have been heard. I wonder how much those he spoke to in power are being held accountable to his witness and testimony. Probably no one.\n\nHero - no, to many people misuse and abuse that word to manipulate others.\n\nDamn straight guy doing his duty and speaking the truth - you've got my vote.\n\nNow, I have to go google him to see what else he knows. Was he a prophet or an intelligence analyst???

Last night I saw a more detailed explanation of what killed him and honestly, it made my blood run cold.  A pin prick of this killed him?  I think someone in our Homeland Security needs to do some serious large-scale possibility scenarios.  They didn't really address that possibility on the program I watched, but it was the first thing that occurred to me.  Hopefully it isn't a weapon that lends itself to mass scale use.

Does it strike anyone that death follows this huckster, from the record executions when he was governor to the Iraqi destruction that is only rivaled by Vietnam as the biggest military blunder in our history. He was nothing but a little rich boy who failed at every business he tried and got bailed out by his daddy. He was a spokesmodel for a baseball team, a convicted drunk driver, a clown who changed the spelling of nuclear, and the absolute worst President in history! !

Personally, I think that the jag off should be shot. But maybe spending the rest of his life rotting in prison and bent over a sink would do just as well.

how about the perpetrator himself!!!!!

It is certainly possible that such a person would be subject to criminal jurisdiction by each state, and by the Federal Government.  He was already convicted? Is this about where he is to be imprisoned?

If he attacked, then it was a different story.\n\nI think you did the right thing.

He stole from the system and should pay it back.  I know a lot of others do to but he got caught.  I wish we could catch ALL of them!\n\nAt the time he was cheating the government did he give ANY thought to the fact that he was taking money out of the pockets of those who truly needed what meager assistance they could get?  Like disabled persons or children???

I was in California when this happen, and in my family are cops. Lets look at the at all this. Her head was almost decapitated (took time)- what just would be robber would do this?. Yet alone her friend. No this was a crime of passion. Than we see OJ on TV running (in car)-before everything was out-why was he running? And the glove with blood found. (now we get a glove expert-wonder where do you find that). His time is not account for in many ways. He has already shown violent to Nicole. The dog does nothing. He was at her home-but didn't go in (uh)? Some much I could included-fact is anywhere else this would be enough. Money talks! Funny he even claims broke-but lives a great lifestyle (tell me how please). I don't think the cops lied as much as were put in positions and smart butt lawyers twisted every word. Furman tried to cover his racist remark-but hey what does his  stupid attitude got to do with OJ killing his wife. Even many of the jury say if they were allowed (can you believe we hold back for silly reasons) all the evedence some would have changed. But I will tell you that almost decapping of Nicole s's head is enough for me. No one (robber-thief-killer_) would take the time-this was someone who had personal feelings to the max.\n\nCops didn't do well-but I think other issues played more in his freedom-they played the race card-and money has a voice of its own.

One would safely assume that since you are aware of the situation, that this person is having some success in communicating with the outside world?  With that in mind, I would do my best to get in touch with the sympathetci media outlets (think national/regional as opposed to local) the ACLU, Amnesty International, The John Howard Association (this would be my first pick personally), the justice project at Northwestern University (IL), also with any other university/law school or organization that does pro bono type work, and many times have contacts at media outlets that may be able to exert some pressure on "the powers at be" through those channels.  Not to be a pain in the rear, but IMHO it is very impractical and unwise to represent yourself, this situation being a perfect example of the pitfalls...in an ideal world, he should/could contact the KS Attorney General's Office, the Governor's Office, or perhaps even the Dept. Of Justice in DC, however in this day and age most complaints against "the establishment" or "the system" fall on deaf ears amongst other members of the machine, particularly as we seem to be removing the concepts of real justice and  humanity from our increasingly greedy and corrupt society and government bodies at a breakneck pace...bottom line tell the inmate to KEEP HIS NOSE CLEAN (as they are undoubtedly gunning for him) keep trying and good luck as the odds are highly stacked against him...

I think that he should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Thankfully, there is one less child predator off the streets.
