5. A summary of the article
This article is about Governor Quinn of Illinois. On Wednesday, he will sign a bill outlawing the death penalty in Illinois. Eleven years ago, Governor Ryan stopped the death penalty. He stopped it because 13 people who were supposed to be executed were actually found innocent. This new bill makes stopping the death penalty an official law.
6. Your opinion about the article
I think it is good to stop the death penalty. It is hard to be 100% sure that someone is guilty. If you kill them, you can never bring them back. Also, I think life in prison is better punishment than the death penalty.
The death penalty is dispiteous, but I do not think it is good to stop it. I think it is difficult to decide which punishment is better.
