Default Madigan Supreme Court Verdict Due
It seems very likely that the Supreme Court decision on the Lisa Madigan lawsuit to get 32 inmates back on to Death Row will be released tomorrow (Friday). These are the ones she insists Ryan had no right giving clemency to.

I don't know how many of you this will affect but, if Madigan gets her way, Tony will be back on Death Row and I'm having trouble handling that right now. Some positive thoughts going towards Menard may ease this wait for Tony.

Rose, I'm without words to express my feelings about these news. How ironical that this comes nearly exactly one year after the original commutations. Be sure I'm with you both with my heart and thoughts.

Thanks everyone, as you'll expect, I'll be glued to the computer later today until I hear the decision. It's unlikely Madigan will get her way but it's still a possibility, you can never tell how the judges will act.

MADIGAN LOST - NOBODY GOES BACK TO THE ROW

I can now stop all this comfort eating I was doing and relax. Thanks again everyone.

Courts Backed Ryan - Ruled He Had The Power To Commute The Sentences Of Every Death Row Inmate Before He Left. I Didn't Go Into The Article Though. Thought I'd See If You Read Anything On It Yet.

Yes, it's in AOL News and the Chicago Tribune, the Supreme Court ruled that Ryan had the right to commute all sentences even though several of the guys didn't ask for clemency.
