Please keep this EVIL woman in prison. Show her the same mercy she showed the man she killed - ZERO.

If you take a life you should die in prison. You age should not be a factor. Shirley Skinner should have thought about dying in prison before she took Steven Watkins' life.

Although this states I am signing this stupid thing, I am not! I just wanna comment, and ask a question to all 567 of you dumbasses! Do you know Shirley personally!? Because I do, I was in prison with her, and coincidentally, for something I didn't do either! This woman is not a monster, a cold hearted killer or a bad person, she is a great person and loves her family. Everyone is so quick to judge someone they do not know, and listen to media whom actually wasn't there. And let me be honest, the judicial system, sucks too! They will gladly throw the wrong person in jail, no questions asked, even with evidence pointing to the right person in front of their eyes! I want to end this with, if your daughter/son or grandson/daughter was being pointed at for murder, would you let the, go to prison? I have a son, and daughter ..I would take the blame for them!

Please do not allow this vicious dangerous woman back out on the streets. She showed no mercy to a young man who just wanted to see his son. It's sad because Jennifer should be locked up with her. She got to live a long life free will and a young man lost his life and a daughter lost her father.

She showed no mercy to her victim and his family and none should be shown to him. Only grant commutation if you strip her and her family of their money and the victim's daughter and turn it all over to his family.

Governor Quinn please give a no clemency to Shirley Skinner. Shirley Skinner should serve her entire sentence for the execution of Steven Watkins. I have been following this case in such disbelief starting with the joke of the police investigation of Steven's death. It appears that the police chief was doing whatever he could to mess up the investigation which should have been turned over to a higher jurisdiction from the get go. The Watkin's family has suffered enough dealing with the Skinner family please give consideration of the Watkin's family with your clemency decision for the sake of Steven's children the justice they deserve for their father's death at the hands of a killer. Appreciate your time concerning this matter. Carolyn Gillman

She's a murderer so keep her locked up. She doesn't need a chance to kill someone else,.

She was found guilty and should serve her time. Steven W. didn't get a second chance at life and she shouldn't either. Supposedly, there were several family members at home when the killing happened and none of them came forward to proclaim Shirley's innocents.

Shirley should definitely serve her complete sentnce. The evidence was proven. Steve Watkins did not deserve to die by her hands. Nor does Steve's family deserve his loss and not seeing their Son's daughter. Justice won't be served until Jennifer is serving time , if only for keeping the Watkins from there grandaughter

Shirley should serve her sentence along with a few more members of her family. Including Jennifer.

How the mighty fall ! Since when is being 80 a reason to get out of jail ? Everyone in the house that day should be in jail.
