Gov. Pat Quinn says he’d like to hear from the citizens of Illinois before he decides whether to sign legislation that would abolish the death penalty in the state.

During an event at the University of Illinois on Wednesday, Quinn said he’s already weighing input from prosecutors, clergy and others on the bill passed this month by the General Assembly.

The governor wouldn’t say when he’ll make a decision. He says he’s going through a period of what he called “reflection and review.”

Quinn has said he supports the death penalty. But he also has kept a moratorium on capital punishment put in place in 2000 by Gov. George Ryan after courts overturned the death sentences of 13 men after finding them innocent.
