Former Gov. Ryan: 'Americans should come to their senses' | |
|
July 05, 2014 George Ryan, an ex-Illinois governor and now an ex-convict, says he'd like to re-engage with the cause he left behind when he went to prison in 2007 -- campaigning for the end of the death penalty in the U.S. "Americans should come to their senses," Ryan said this week, in an hourlong interview with The Associated Press at his kitchen table. Newly free to speak after a year of federal supervision that followed his more than five years in prison for corruption, Ryan appeared to have recovered some of his old voice and feistiness, in contrast to the subdued figure that emerged a year ago from the federal penitentiary in Terre Haute, Indiana, and ducked briefly into a Chicago halfway house.
