Guin Garcia

Gov. Edgar commuted the death sentence of Guin Garcia in 1995. 
Shortly after being released from a 10 year term for the murder
of her infant daughter, She shot her husband to death while robbing 
him, and Edgar said the crime was not brutal enough to justify 
capital punishment.


"It is harder for women to get the death penalty. There's still a 
glass ceiling, a natural inclination to believe women are incapable 
of committing these types of crimes," said Thomas Epach Jr., chief 
of criminal prosecutions for the Cook County state's attorney's office.
