Illinois Considers “Murder Registry,” much like Sex Offender Registry

Outside of the District, but interesting news today from Chicago.

In the Chicago Tribune this morning, Illinois legislators are considering a “murder registry,” much like a sex offender registry, to alert community members to murder parolees living in their neighborhood.

Rep. Dennis Reboletti, R-Elmhurst, a former Will County prosecutor who is the bill’s sponsor, said the murder registry would require murderers to stay on the list for 10 years after they leave prison.
