Extractions: Web posted at: 11:55 p.m. EST SPRINGFIELD, Illinois (CNN) Just 14 hours before Guinevere Swan Garcia was about to become the second woman in 20 years to be executed in the United States, her death sentence was commuted to life in prison with no chance of parole. Garcia, who earlier had fought to keep her execution date, said "thank God this has happened" when she heard Illinois Gov. Jim Edgar's decision. Garcia, 37, was scheduled to be put to death shortly after midnight Tuesday for shooting her husband during an argument. Over Garcia's objections, death penalty opponents Sister Miriam and Amnesty International's Bianca Jagger campaigned for her clemency. They argued that Garcia has had a long history of abuse that included alcoholism and sexual molestation, and that her execution would be inhumane in light of her harrowing past. But Garcia said she was prepared to accept her fate. She told the Illinois Prisoner Review Board that "this is not a suicide, I am responsible for these crimes." Gov. Edgar, who had never before overturned a death sentence, said Garcia's crime did not justify execution and that her husband's murder was not premeditated. "Horrible as was her crime, it is an offense comparable to those that judges and jurors have determined over and over again should not be punishable by death," Edgar said in a statement.

Extractions: Web posted at: 1:10 a.m. EST From Correspondent Gary Tuchman SMYRNA, Delaware (CNN) Convicted double-murderer Billy Bailey was executed early Thursday in Delaware. Bailey drew a lot of attention because of the method he chose: death by hanging. Only a few hundred people live in the tiny town of Cheswold, Delaware. Two of them used to live in a modest home where they grew corn and soybeans, and, more importantly, raised children and grandchildren. Clara and Gilbert Lambertson were 73 and 80 years old, respectively, when a man named Billy Bailey came into their lives and then ended their lives. "This was a heinous crime against innocent people. They were elderly, in their own home. They did not know Billy Bailey. He simply intruded and took their lives in a vicious manner," said Delaware Deputy Attorney General Paul Wallace. Bailey, 49, was convicted of shooting the Lambertsons to death 17 years ago. Bailey's was the third hanging execution in the United States since the death penalty was reinstated by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1976.

Extractions: A Presbyterian church appeals court has by a 6-4 margin narrowly overturned a lower church court ruling that had found Rev. Stephen Van Kuiken in violation of church law for marrying same-sex couples in Cincinnati. The Presbyterian Church (USA) has affirmed its definition of marriage as a "man-woman covenant", but the majority of the members of the Permanent Judicial Commission of the Synod of the Covenant of the Presbyterian Church found that the church's directive to congregations and celebrants "avoids an outright prohibition by using the words 'should' and 'should not' in guidance for church bodies and ministers."

Extractions: The crowd in John 8 wanted to apply the death penalty. The woman was guilty of a crime which deserved death under to the law. They came to Jesus to see if he would uphold the law in this matter. He said "let the one of you without sin cast the first stone". They all went away. It seems very clear to me that this story illustrates the incompatibility of the death penalty and following Jesus. If he had supported the death penalty under the law, he would have just stood aside and let them get on with it. The way the Bible presents the incident, it was an open and shut case. Under what law? Jesus had been convicted in a Jewish court (sanhedrin) of blasphemy. He had been convicted by the governor of the province of sedition. You may argue (as I would) that both of these convictions were unsound, and possibly would have been overturned on appeal, but from the information in the Gospels it seems that both the Sanhedrin and the Roman governor exercised their lawful authority in sentencing Jesus to death.

Extractions: Russell L. Hanson , Indiana University, Bloomington Pious Princes and Red-Hot Lovers: The Politics of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet Jerry Weinberger , Michigan State University Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet is obviously a tragedy of impetuous young love. But it is also a play about politics, especially politics as conditioned by Christian morality and religion. The play's action is determined by the conflict between secular and priestly authority, and by the complex interaction among mercy, love, and punishment as practiced by Escalus, Prince of Verona, and Friar Laurence, the Franciscan. In the course of this action, the Veronese regime is transformed, and the common good determined, in ways more compatible with the friar's interests than with those of the Prince. Romeo and Juliet is one of Shakespeare's pictures of the unique problems that determined modern, as opposed to ancient, political life.

Extractions: EARLIER THIS MONTH a blue-ribbon commission assembled by Illinois governor George Ryan presented a scathing review of that state's capital punishment process: innocent people are being condemned (13 of them at present count have been exonerated); defense lawyers are failing their clients; prosecutors are behaving unscrupulously; race is a huge factor; and more than half of the cases are reversed on appeal. If all that wasn't enough, the panel also pointed out another problem – one that's garnered little media attention anywhere in the country. Some commissioners, concerned about the massive financial costs of imposing each death sentence, "questioned whether the dedication of so many resources to a relatively small number of cases was prudent."

Extractions: Jon Langford (Photo By Jim Newberry) Country music has always paid special attention to murder ballads and songs of public executioner and vigilante justice. Pick up an old Johnny Cash record and youre bound to find at least a couple of songs on the subject. Alt.country hero Jon Langford is carrying on the tradition of singing about the unsavory realm of violence and vengeance and this time hes doing it with a twist. The Chicago-based, Welsh-born singer is putting together a collection of murder tunes and related songs to protest capital punishment. The project is being headed by The Pine Valley Cosmonauts , one of Langfords many bands (the prolific musician also heads The Waco Brothers and The Mekons ). The Cosmonauts schtick is that they round up a variety of guest vocalists to create theme albums in the past theyve done collections of songs by Texas swing legend Bob Wills and have also been known to pay tribute to Johnny Cash. Their new album will be called The Executioners Last Songs and will be comprised wholly of old murder ballads and death row dirges. The album will be released by Bloodshot Records on March 19.
