full week to this effort. Please look at your schedule and find a
couple of hours where you can help them out. Think about bringing a

than it is spring.

Protest Death Penalty in Il.
Joseph Birkett has decided to seek the death penalty against Brian Dugan. Dugan has already confessed to the crime, and will sign off on it, barring a non-capital case. He is already serving 2 life without parole sentences. Therefore, he will never get out of prison, will not be a threat to society, and will not bring solace to the Nicarico family.
Joe Birkett on the other hand, as aspirations for running for Attorney General. Even after he lost significantly along side Judy Bar in the last elections. This case epitmizes the use of the death penalty for political gain...
Currently in DuPage County, they are cutting shelters, medical services for the needy, educational materials within the schools, etc? Yet, Birkett has decided to seek the death penalty for a man that will never be released from prison, on a case that has already cost DuPage County over 8 Million dollars.
