5. This has NOTHING to do with"mercy" or compassion, and everything to do with justice.
Justice is keeping that corrupt old SOB in a jail cell for the death of those kids. There sure as hell was no "mercy" for those kids or their parents when that truck slammed into them and started that fire, nor was there any "mercy" when Ryan profited by selling those fake truck licenses to people that couldn't pass the freaking test.
Make NO mistake, Ryan put that moratorium on the Illinois death penalty, but he did it because he thought he was trying to save his own ass. He never bothered to address that particular issue until it was convenient to do so--and he certainly never did it even when he knew that our justice system in this state is terribly flawed.
Life is a terminal condition for us all. The end of that life can be shaped by how we live and the decisions we make. Ryan made his bed.
