Burge Wins Another Round
A Florida judge refused to issue a subpoena today that would require former Chicago Police Cmdr. Jon Burge to testify in the case of a convicted murderer who says Burge’s underlings tortured him, the man’s attorney said.
Hillsborough County Circuit Judge Walter Heinrich ruled that it would be a “futile and unnecessary act” to make Burge come to Chicago and plead the Fifth Amendment at Cortez Brown’s evidentiary hearing on Monday, said Brown’s attorney, Locke Bowman.
Brown wants Burge to come to Chicago and admit that he was the Area 2 Detective Commander when Brown was allegedly beaten into a confession and therefore responsible for everything that may or may not have occurred at Area 2. The prospect of having Burge under oath in an Illinois courtroom has people like Flint Taylor of the People's Law Office feeling a peculiar tingling in his naughty regions. However, Judge Heinrich took note of Burge's intentions that he will plead the Fifth to everything not connected to his own legal entanglements and as such, it would be pretty much pointless to send Burge to Chicago. Flint Taylor was all over the early news saying how this was a miscarriage of justice, how Burge was getting away with everything including stealing candy from the blind and what the hell happened to his tingling sensations?

Good to see justice in the south for what it is (Justice). NOT what it is in CROOCK COUNTY!
"At this point, the only people making any money off this are the lawyers."
Paid for by you the dues paying member of FOP Lodge 7.
When someone is informed of their Miranda Warnings they are told you can keep your yap shut if you want to and if you do say anything you can stop whenever you want. Apparently Taylor, of the CPUSA, does not know the Warnings.
Burge is my hero
GOD BLESS JON BURGE

And the people paying for Burge's lawyers are US! We FOP members are footing the bill for the defense of Burge. I heard Donahue's explanation but I can't for the life of me make any sense out of it.
Or is that only in the criminal trial of Burge, charged with lying to the Feds 15 years after he retired? But he was an FOP member 15 years before the alleged lie so I guess that means he gets a free FOP lawyer. I've got it now.
Several thoughts on Flint Taylor vs. Jon Burge:
#1 It is obvious that Burge cannot receive a fair trial in Chicago after the years of Taylor fanning the flames about Burge. The trial should be moved to Florida.
#2 I cannot understand how the testimony of Andrew Wilson regarding Burge can be utilized. Wilson allowed an innocent man to remain in prison for thirty years and this only came to the attention of the courts after he died. How will Burge's lawyer be able to question Wilson regarding this?
#3 Aaron Patterson, Madison Hobley, Cortez brown, etc. all have been convicted of multiple murders in the inner city. Has Taylor, George Ryan or the FBI identified who committed these crimes if Patterson, Hobley or Brown's supporters have not?
#4 Could Taylor's clients be using Burge as a means to hit the "Ghetto Jackpot" and to a "get out of jail free" card? Is is possible that Taylor realizes that some of their claims rest on shaky ground?
It is time for the Feds and the courts to look into this!
FREE BURGE! daley wants to help felons but yet lets the Burge media circus continue! guess it takes some heat off the daley criminal organization big time! When will daley-the 50-madigan-stroger get indicted? hey patrick Fitzgerald if you need any help or information have someone post up we would be happy to help "Load the busses"!
I am glad that the FOP is paying Commander Burge's legal bills. He is an American hero who always did the right thing, and is under attack by blood sucking leeches.
The courts have to realize that they have gotten about all they're going to get with regard to former Cmdr Burge. He's not going to admit anything at this stage of his life, and the last time I saw him on camera, he looked to me to be in very poor health. Yes, he was a bum, and yes, our Mayor knew about it at the time all this crap was happening, and he and whole bunch of other people looked the other way on it. It's just too late to extract another lb of flesh out of this, and people need to just let it go, and write it off as another embarrassing chapter of our sordid Chicago history.
Burge is a fucking lazy jagoff. Because of his bullshit, murderers are on the street with a nice government settlement.
Flint Taylor is a career jagoff. PS, there's no libel in the truth.
its a fucking shame Andrew Wilson ever made it to trial.
Mr. Burge should be careful and prepare for the worst. Look what they're doing to that 89yo retired auto worker,that this country allowed to be shipped to Germany.
Even the Israeli courts said some of the evidence is "cooked", and released him.
Ya get the wrong beef and these whores just wont let go.....
With all the money Flint Taylor has made off the city can't he afford to go to the dentist. My corn hole is cleaner.
I am happy to have my dues pay for Burge's defense. He was a great boss and knew how to take care of business properly.
As long as the right guy got convicted, I'm all for it, and Burge and his crew got the right guys.
Burge represented himself in court in Florida. No lawyer from the FOP was present. Only G. Flynt Taylor (People's Law Office) and some other local lawyer Taylor hired were present.
"#4 Could Taylor's clients be using Burge as a means to hit the "Ghetto Jackpot" and to a "get out of jail free" card? Is is possible that Taylor realizes that some of their claims rest on shaky ground?"
Your are close to being right, but not exactly.
Flint Taylor really doesn't care if his clients actually get significant money. As long as he can show that the case has merit, he can be awarded fees and expenses.
In the Andrew Wilson brutality suit against Burge, Taylor won a $50,000 judgement for his client, which was immediately transferred to the Faheys and O'Briens due to a previous case and settlement.
But Taylor was able to bill and collect about $950,000 in fees.
And the case in court was going against him. So he resorted to guerrilla street theater (like barging into a city council meeting) and pressured the city into settling a case that it was on its way to winning.
And if it had not been for that settlement, Taylor's law business would have been out of business.
Thats whats driving his "quest for justice."
A judge with common sense?? Of course, cuz this is not Cook County. STAY STRONG JON!!!
I/F
It was disgusting to see Flint Taylor whining that Jon defended himself in the Florida court room.
It appears that Taylor wants the stage to himself and his claims and Jon is not allowed to say anything!

Dickhead,
The government is accusing him of lying 15 years after he was in the FOP. The lie he is accused of is that he denied today and always of taking part in the torture that occurred when he was a FOP member. Is it possible you understand now?
I know you don't, but I hope the Fed accuses you of some bullshit you did while you were on the job 15 years into your retirement. When you refuse to admit guilt of something you didn't do the FOP should pay for your shit too. I know your some asshole paralegal for flint taylor so fuck you anyway.
How much has the fop spent on Burge's defense so far?
It's another secret the flop refuses to talk about.
Leave Burge alone, for Christ sakes. Enough already!
The more that scarecrow Flint Taylor gets his ugly mug in front of a TV camera the more billable hours he can claim.
He's the posterboy of why we should kill all the lawyers!
Stanley Howard claimed that he was falsely convicted of rape but then dna proved he was the offender.
Why wasn't he charged with perjury by the Feds?
Did his lawyers know that Howard committed perjury in his depositions?
Are his lawyers being investigated by the disciplinary committee of the State Bar? If they are not, why not?
JON BURGE HAS BEEN NAMED THE REPLACEMENT SUPT. FOR J-FED. SIGNED, DA MAYOR
Jon Burge- Chicago Legend American Icon!! Jon Burge is my hero and the liberal media, courts, politicians can go fuck themselves. Long Live Jon Burge!!!
Listen you young fuckin assholes. In 30 years on the job I never met a guy with more knowledge or balls than Jon Burge. If you were involved in a police shooting you had better have hoped that you were in Area 2. Jon Burge stood up for and did more favors for coppers than probably anyone ever has. Guys in Area 2 may have made some mistakes but Burge and his crew knew more about homicide investigations than anybody on the job today. People shouldn't make asshole statements about things they don't know shit about.
Every time I see Locke Bowman, Jon Loevy and Flint Taylor on television espousing a client that no one would want living next door to them, especially the aforementioned three lawyers, I see the look of a fanatic in their eyes.
It is my experience that fanatics will exagerate the truth in order to prove their claims.
Could that be happening at the current time?
With all the money Flint Taylor has made off the city can't he afford to go to the dentist. My corn hole is cleaner.

By far the post of the day.....
Know for a fact that many FBI (public corruption)guys and higher ranking CPD officials read this Blog....
Why don't we focus our efforts on future problems.....?
LIKE start on the 5th floor! There are leaks you have down there! These leaks float information out "third party" to their media friends they know who pass it on to a reporter from their paper to make "drama" in our department! doesn't need to be made!
People having access to 24 hr reports / personnel files / or personal knowledge that LEAK info to the SHITHEAD media to feed the trolls that slam us and kill our morale from the outside.
These acts can ruin people and ruin the morale and taint operations and or Brass by compounding "stories" to help sell papers!
This should be a priority investigation for Jody and Co. since the "integrity" for which he speaks is SO important to him and and administration.
This is going on right under his nose on the vey floor he works and is working against the department morale and reputation of credible officers so some never been the working police paper shuffling self righteous opinionated person takes care of her contacts.
Wake up Jody and Headquarters she works and investigates amongst you!
Do you really care about the Departments reputation and how we release info. or how info. "GETS OUT"..... Well....
She has been doing this for individuals for several years now giving heads ups on Confidentials CR's and unknown/un-named officer beefs before they reached the districts so the officers can cool it.. Now she acts like a real family person!! Just to fool you all down there! Stand up woman..don't think so!
Det. in the know.....
ALDERCROOK COROTHERS is the one pushing all of these cases and getting his cut of the pie. He continues to push the Justice Dept to bring Burge and some others up on charges in many cases that have already failed in the state courts.
Now the ALDERCROOK'S Brother is the new Lt. in AREA 2 sitting in Burge's old seat.
Does any one see a conflict of interest here???? After all some of those same Detective the ALDERCROOK is trying to get prosecuted, still work in Area 2 now under Lt. COROTHERS the ALDERCROOK'S Brother.
Maybe the next time some POS murderer complains he was not treated like a king in Area 2, someone should contact the Justice Dept and get Lt. Corothers the ALDERCROOK'S brother charged.
After all whats good for Burge is good for the current C.O.
No fan of Burge but the case against him is complete BS. The way the law is being twisted and abused to go after Burge is as disgusting as the crimes he is accused of.
Bill Clinton lied under oath. Nothing happened but a circus show impeachment. Didn't seen to hurt him. Mark Furhman lied too. He lives in Idaho and is a guest speaker on fox News. Burge isn't going to get shit.
Flint Taylor and his ilk are nothing but low life ambulance chasers with their own unique and lucrative scam. They use these scumbags to get into federal court and make big money off the taxpayers even if they just win pennies for their poster boy client. Like most lawyers they cloak themselves in seeking justice and caring for their clients but are solely motivated by money. Its disgusting but life is full of people like this so its really no different then whats going on with our politicians, business leaders, union leaders, et al. The truth is most police have more honor in their pinkies then all these folks. Most of really do care about right and wrong.
As for Burge he was an old time copper and a great boss whose goal was to put the criminal where he belonged. Its sad to see him persecuted this way and thats what it is - persecution for profits sake by scum of the earth lawyers.
After watching Taylor complaining that Burge defended himself in court it might be time for Jon to utilize a PR firm to fight back.
Sometimes the squeaky wheel gets the grease and it is time that Jon refutes Taylor & Co. claims!
God bless Jon Burge and every copper anything like him.
Every time I see Locke Bowman, Jon Loevy and Flint Taylor on television espousing a client that no one would want living next door to them,
Hey Loevy Lockman and TaYLOR, DID YOU SEE THAT PART IN BRAVEHEART WHERE THEY WAVED THEIR YOU KNOW WHATS AT THE ENGLISH?
This is me doing to same to all three of you, along with mooning you and flipping you bitches the bird.
Excuse me my bladder is full...where is Pincham's grave?
Burge is a fucking lazy jagoff. Because of his bullshit, murderers are on the street with a nice government settlement.

You fucking asshole!! If you are a cop,this dept.has bigger problems than Burge..
A.Citizen
I saw round 2 of Taylor on 5 last evening at 6. He is a sick puppy!
Taylor loves television but he does not like it when he receives any bad publicity.
Burge should hire a PR firm that will respond to his claims. Not the one that Blago and Drew Peterson utilize but one that acts rationally and with common sense.
