Some people might ask me if this is different to what I normally cover on the South and West sides of Chicago on a near nightly basis…it’s not. The same thoughts feelings and emotions run through me no matter what scene I’m at…gun violence is gun violence.
Kim Foxx and Risa Lanier lied to the public and tried to cover it up.
Again.
Except this time they weren’t trying to protect a two-bit actor who hung a noose around his neck—this time they tried to protect a serial abuser who got a black robe from the Illinois Supreme Court.
For the first time in American history, a Black woman is serving on the United States Supreme Court. Congratulations, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson! https://t.co/HFkLDmDCKU
As another scandal rocks the Cook County State’s Attorney Office, a veteran prosecutor pens a letter:
“You, Kim Foxx, need to be held accountable. For Toledo. For Smollett. For all the other times when you let your prosecutors, your people, down.”
https://t.co/fNgnMnlrUv
As Kim Foxx declared Jussie Smollett to be the victim of "a kangaroo prosecution," one of the attorneys in her demoralized office sent us a letter, begging the good prosecutors to "please stay and fight."

Other than the press conference about Melissa Ortega’s murder when was the last time @SAKimFoxx joined CPD for a press conference to announce charges?? @CWBChicago, any idea??
This is all re-election optics! @KimFoxx hasn’t cared for the rest of her term so don’t start now.
They're out:
• "A real prosecutor," the head of criminal prosecutions under Kim Foxx, abruptly quit today
• CPD detective commander who made waves when Foxx's office wouldn't pursue charges in the murder of a 7-year-old is taking a new job in Michigan

For the past several months, I investigated the former top judge of Cook County's domestic violence court who has a history of allegations from women who say he mistreated them.
Tomorrow he gets to walk away from the bench with a lifetime pension.

.@AOC and I disagree on literally almost everything - but this mysogynistic trend where every woman you disagree with is a “bitch” is archaic, reductive and completely despicable. If you’re not emotionally mature enough to handle working with strong women, then resign Ted Yoho.
Has everyone stopped to meditate on the fact that an 87-year-old woman on chemo has to keep working full-time, full-force, because she's quite literally the only thing stopping the country's full slide into fascism?
The sounds of gunshots and sirens echoed through Chicago over a violent Father’s Day weekend, as shootings across the city left nine people dead and more than 60 wounded. https://t.co/U43k40ZifM
Our city's collective heart breaks to hear the unfathomable news of a 3-year-old boy who was shot and killed tonight on Chicago's West Side. There are simply no words to describe such a heinous, unconscionable act of cowardice to shoot at a toddler.
