Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...
Nearly 10 years ago, Delbert Heard shot to death my niece, Zita Jones, along with two other people. Heard was tried, convicted and sentenced to death by a judge, who said this killer had “a malignant heart.” The judge spoke well for my family.
Now I read that the attorney general is trying to stop Gov. George Ryan from rushing the clemency procedures. I hope it works.
For the governor to rush through this in his last few months in office hurts.
My niece was a good kid who never gave anyone any trouble. She did not deserve to die. But this man does.
