- Gov. Pat Quinn criticized the Prisoner Review Board over the weekend for the early release of a man now charged with murder, but he ignored a vital fact: While he says the board should have ordered Edjuan Payne held for six months, his administration recommended two, about the same amount of time Payne was locked up.
Payne was serving time for criminal damage to property when he got out last fall as part of Quinn's secret early prison release program, although he also had an earlier murder conviction. He was sent back in January for violating parole on the property damage charge by drinking alcohol and not properly reporting to his parole agent. He was freed in March. On Friday, he was charged with murder in Peoria.
So Quinn criticizes the Board, even though the offender was part of Quinn's own secret early release program? Wow. Anyone seen McCotter lately? Is that a target on his back?
