**FILE** Aaron Patterson, a condemned prison inmate whose story of being tortured by police helped prompt a governor to set him free and empty Illinois' death row in a historic rebuke of capital punishment, seen in a Feb. 14, 2003, file photo in Chicago. On Monday July 23, 2007, the 43-year-old was just another inmate in an orange jumpsuit waiting to be sentenced on weapons and drug charges. He sat quietly as a string of supporters, including actor and rapper Mos Def, told the judge of his good character. (AP Photo/Charlie Bennett, File)
