Manatee, you shouldn't tempt me this way.
I saw this statement as a signature on one of your posts, and peculiar creature that I am, I had to investigate to see if it is true.
Here is my fact check finding.
Given that Chicago is a city and Arizona is a state, I couldn't find a direct comparison but I did find this link that compares murder rates nationally and by state http://www.deathpenaltyinfo.org/murder-rates-nationally-and-state#MRord
In the table showing murder statistics ranked by 2103, highest to lowest, Illinois and Arizona are very close together at 11th and 12th. Both are above the state average for states without the death penalty and fairly close to the average of states with the death penalty.
Fact check conclusion - your statement is false. Sorry. :hide:
