In the next few weeks, Illinois could become the 16th state to ban the death penalty.  It's partly due to an unsolved murder case here in the Wabash Valley.

A local man is working to abolish the death penalty across the nation.  He's been successful in some states.  Not in Indiana, but he's close in Illinois.

A bill is sitting on Governor Quinn's desk waiting to be signed into law.
