Eric Hanson sentenced to death in murder of family members

What happens now? Upon leaving office Governor Ryan imposed a moratorium on executions in Illinois and set up a commission to study pending cases and the system in general due to false convictions for a variety of reasons. Hanson has been given the death penalty. Will it just be on the books as a "death penalty" sentance, but in reality be a life sentance? I'd like some follow up on the process of what happens now. I am seeking this imformation purely for my own thoughts and as part of a running personal paper. I am more interested in ethical issues on both sides of the capital punishment debate than any one side. What do "we" do now? I do not seek to advance any agenda other than to simply state objectively what Illinois is discussing these cases. Thank you for this forum.

I can tell you that we will not have any executions in this state for awhile. First, we need to dump our current governor, who has made no effort to lift Ryan's moratorium. We also will need to wait for the U.S. Supreme Court to lift the letha injection moratorium, although this will happen soon. I could be wrong, but this state may stay use electrocution if needed.

I highly doubt our justice system is as "flawed" as Ryan portrayed it. There was no evidence of innocence anywhere with those inmates; he was simply trying to look like a hero with the abolitionists to hide his corruption. I have always been a strong supporter of the death penalty, but this state will need some new political leaders before the first execution takes place.

As a final note, Eric Hanson worked for a distributor for my chemical firm, so I hope he is juiced!

listen you said that the system is Not flawed becuase why
becuase now were only killing "guilty" human biengs
well first off fuck you who are you to condemn them as guilty or not were all people and none of us have the right to take a life

Tyshawn,
Being the "God lover" that yo are I wouldn't expect to see "**** you" in your posting. Eric deserves to be tortured in the same way he did his sister and brother-in-law. He has infinitly disrupted many peoples lives in which he has passed through including the one remaining sister who's life he spared. So Tyshawn: Get over it! I hope the S.O.B Fries!

I knew the guy quite well. He was a loser. A cold, calculating loser who was always a danger to those surrounding him. When I first heard of the incident I thought it fit the picture of the loser I threw out of my house.
Tyshawn, you are an ignorant, hopeless individual if you believe what you say.
Every guilty person on death row, regardless of their background or socio-economic status, believe in the death penalty. It is a penalty withheld for those who take, or offer up, human life. They, themselves, believe fundamentally in the right to take another human life.
I'm sorry, but if you pull the trigger on another, and then feel that you are being treated unfairly when the switch is flipped, you are a hypocrite. Furthermore, you are a weak individual who still believes on your last walk that you have been treated unjustly. The rules of the game don't come from the government. Rather, they are created anew each time a person feels that they have the power to take another human life.
Eric Hanson was the lowest of the low. He is getting what he gave, and by his actions he stated a belief that the death penalty is a perfectly valid, just form of punishment.
He's also wasting taxpayers dollars by appealing for a crime that he so obviously committed. A parasite to the end. Good night Eric, you have given us permission to carry out punishment by your own actions. Thank you for giving us the right to remove you from our gene pool.

It actually costs more to execute someone than to keep them in prison for life.

This man would have killed his other sister and her family and any-one in his way do not waste tears on him but be glad he was caught before his killing spree was over.

This P.O.S. needs the needle loaded with the toxic
cocktail....Burn in Hell you P.O.S.
