A Proper Target for National Organization of Women

Yet not a peep. If Roger Goodell should have to resign from the NFL shouldn't the man who set 38 convicted and incarcerated domestic abusers free?

Or does it not count because he's a Dem and a politician?

RAUNER'S CLAIM: "230 criminals, secretly released early by Pat Quinn."

FACTS: After the AP reported in January 2010 that the initial Corrections list included hundreds of inaccurate names of inmates let go and obtained a correct list of 1,745, its analysis found 230 had been convicted of violent crimes or those involving weapons.

RAUNER'S CLAIM: "Sex offenders, wife beaters, convicted murderers."

The AP found no one released early was serving a sentence for murder. One had been convicted for conspiracy to commit murder. Seven had been previously convicted of murder, but the corrections department at the time said it had to follow court decisions restricting good-conduct considerations only to an inmate's current conviction — not past violence.

Two were convicted of criminal sexual abuse and one for failing to register as a sex offender. Thirty-eight were put away for domestic battery.

RAUNER'S CLAIM: "What happened after Quinn freed them is unthinkable. Sexual assault of a minor, violent domestic abuse and more senseless murders."

FACTS: The AP found several cases of freed inmates later charged with domestic abuse. At least one is serving a life sentence for a Peoria County murder after early release.

The sexual assault of a minor involves Darrell G. Bracey, 27. After his early release, Bracey, who went back to prison for battery, admitted having sex with a 14-year-old girl, according to Naperville police, but said he thought she was of age. Prosecutors didn't pursue the charge, saying the victim's family was not cooperating.
