« They're Number One-- the case of Chicago | Main | That had to hurt! »

Justice Chicago-style

Posted by David Hardy · 5 January 2022 10:58 AM

Article here.

Lead case: perp caught after burning a car with murder victim dead in the trunk. Perp and victim are known to have been involved in an unemployment fraud scheme. Perp was free on bond after gun charges filed. Perp asked mother to follow him to where he dumped the car and give him ride back. She asks no questions.

Perp is charged with a misdemeanor, concealing a body.

At the end is a list of other Chicago cases where a perp killed someone while charged with a gun offense but was released or charges were dropped. In one, a convicted felon began a gun fight that left a person dead, and was charged with unlawful use by a felon rather than homicide. "Mitchell was on bail for two separate felony cases at the time of the shoot-out."

I was looking at the Chicago homicide statistics from another posted link, and this is lipstick on the pig. It is difficult enough to imagine being a law abiding citizen in Chicago, but impossible to imagine what it is like to be a cop.
The Fergusson effect must be as common as grabbing a coffee and donut.
