breasts, and forced her to commit a deviate sexual act by inserting his
penis in her mouth. He did not ejaculate. Defendant forced the
victim to drink soda and take some pills. He put his penis into her
vagina. B.W. testified defendant did not ejaculate at any point.

removed and her right breast was severely cut. She was bleeding and in

defendant. While in the hospital, B.W. positively identified defendant
in a photographic show-up and a police lineup.

Paul Runge is a serial killer in the
United States. He was active from 1995–1997 . He currently
has 7 victims, though he is suspected of 8+ .
This happened primarily in Illinois. He
was sentenced to Sentenced to death; later commuted to life imprisonment .
His appeal includes:
On appeal, defendant contends that (1) a biased juror served on his
jury, denying him an impartial jury, and the trial court's failure to
question other jurors about that juror's activities denied defendant due
process; (2) the trial court erred in excluding, as irrelevant, the
sexually violent person petition filed against the defendant, as the
petition constituted a party admission, and was the basis for a defense
argument of judicial estoppel; (3) denying depositions of the
prosecution's experts, while allowing depositions of the defense
experts, was an unbalanced, unauthorized, and excessive sanction, when
defendant, on the advice of counsel from another county, invoked his
right to remain silent when examined by the prosecution's expert on the
murder charges in this case; (4) the prosecution's closing argument
inaccurately denigrated the testimony of two defense experts, based upon
misstatements of testimony; (5) the prosecutor improperly asked
irrelevant questions concerning victim impact evidence pertinent only to
other crimes; (6) the prosecutor's closing sentencing argument
improperly relied on irrelevant, extraneous assertions and specious
reasoning to defeat mitigation based on the death of defendant's mother;
(7) “death is cruel and unusual punishment for crimes committed under
the influence of a neuropsychological disorder that may have biological
causes, that distorts reality, diminishes impulse control and memory,
and for which state legislatures provide for civil commitment and
medical treatment”; and (8) the Illinois death penalty statute violates
due process under Apprendi v. New Jersey because the State is not
required to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that, after weighing the
factors in aggravation and mitigation, death is the appropriate
sentence.

This happened primarily in Illinois. He
was sentenced to life imprisonment .
His appeal includes:
Together with codefendants Andrew and Thomas Kokoraleis, the defendant,
Edward Spreitzer, was indicted in the circuit court of Du Page County
for the knowing murder (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1985, ch. 38, par. 9-1(a)(2))
and aggravated kidnapping (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1985, ch. 38, par.
10-2(a)(3)) of Linda Sutton. The circuit court granted the defendant's
motion for a severance and accepted his waiver of a jury trial. After a
bench trial, the defendant was found guilty of both charges. The State
then requested a death penalty hearing and the defendant elected to be
sentenced by a jury. Upon proof that the defendant was 18 years of age
or older at the time of the offenses and that he had committed multiple
murders, a statutory aggravating factor (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1985, ch. 38,
par. 9-1(b)(3)), the jury found the defendant eligible for the death
penalty. After hearing evidence in mitigation, the jury found that there
were no mitigating factors sufficient to preclude a sentence of death.
The circuit court imposed a sentence of death and 60 years in prison for
aggravated kidnapping. The death sentence has been stayed (107 Ill.2d
R. 609(a)) pending direct review *9 by this court (Ill. Const. 1970,
art. VI, § 4(b); 107 Ill.2d R. 603).
