Lisa Madigan is just as corrupt and criminal as her old man, Speaker Mike of the Illinois state Legislature

Fuck any Madigans, they should all hang from ropes

Can you wait until after she gets the law changed? She may have political reasons for changing the statute of limitations, but this would be great, I think.

This is still a bill, not a law yet:

"Madigan on Tuesday testified before the Senate Criminal Law Committee in support of Senate Bill 189, which the committee passed and sent on to the full Senate for consideration."

So no "law change." The title is incorrect.

I think this is an attempt to distract from the real problem in the Hastert case. A statute of limitations is necessary except where a cover up is apparent and that has to cancel the statute of limitations. You can't just have any thirty year old claim their 3rd grade teacher molested them and then force them to stand trial. You'd have all kinds of fake accusations against teachers kids hated.

A number of states have no statute of limitations. I think it is best for the victims

It all boils down to EVIDENCE.

If you're gonna accuse someone that far after the incident(s) allegedly occurred, you'd better have EVIDENCE to support your claim. Because as time goes on, people die and/or move away (sometimes out of country), become too ill to testify, memories fade, etc. Physical evidence (DNA) may degrade too if not preserved properly. Generally speaking, the longer one waits the weaker the case.

That said, abuse victims may block out what happened to them for decades. My sexual abuse occurred at 4, but I didn't remember it until I was 52. It poses a real conundrum for the criminal justice system.

A lilttle step forward! Hastert is one of many from Illinois, Bob creamer and his wife Jan Schakowsky is two deep involved in pedogate. And of course Obama is from Chicago, and I think Hillary is from there!

Now you're onto something here! Schawkowski is a deep communist imbed from decades ago

Her and here crew are at the very heart of evil in the US, including imposter "president" Barry Soetoro
