Botched Investigation?

  • Mayor Daley’s nephew received no favored treatment from the “thorough, fair and impartial” investigation that followed the 2004 death of a 21-year-old man who got into an altercation with a group that included the mayor’s nephew, a high-ranking police official said Monday.

    Although witnesses were recently re-interviewed, Deputy Police Supt. Ernest Brown said the investigation into David Koschman’s death was never technically re-opened.

    “The investigative portion of the case was completed. ... Based on the [Freedom of Information request] from the Sun-Times, we realized that, because of an administrative oversight, the case remained unclosed. So we shifted it to a different area for a comprehensive review of the entire investigative process as it stood,” Brown said.

Translation - we didn't bury it deep enough the first time, so we'll do it now after a wink and a nod to proper procedure.
  • “That review revealed that the facts of that investigation remained unchanged since it was initially investigated, and it will be closed shortly.”

    Brown was asked whether he’s confident R.J. Vanecko, the mayor’s nephew, got no favored treatment in the case.

    “Absolutely. ... I’m confident that we conducted a comprehensive investigation — a thorough, fair and impartial investigation,” said Brown, chief of the Bureau of Patrol.

    Pressed to explain the delay in questioning witnesses, Brown said, “That’s as much as I’m at liberty to answer right now.”

Wow Ernie. Did they really promise you the top spot? Because you are really laying it on thick. And how about this?
  • Asked why the case was re-opened, Daley initially changed the subject to his push for stricter gun laws, the purpose of Monday’s news conference.

    “I know you want to talk about other things. [But] this is gun violence. Would you ask a question on that one, please? Ask one. Can you ask a question on gun violence? Why not? ... Knock-knock. No one is there,” Daley said as police and community leaders who joined him at the Homan Square police warehouse laughed along with him.

Yeah, because a death investigation of a 21-year-old at the hands of a mayoral relative is always a laughing matter. You wouldn't want to actually investigate the entire thing in a timely manner instead of waiting 7 years for memories to get fuzzy. It's not like there's anything politically suspicious about this group:
  • Vanecko’s group that night included Craig Denham, a former LaSalle Bank official who later married a sister of Daley’s son-in-law, and Kevin D. McCarthy and his wife, Bridget Higgins McCarthy. She’s a daughter of developer Jack Higgins, a close friend of the mayor.
Move along folks.

This could possibly be one of the most important events that took place in Chicago history.

The asshole thieving nephew of an asshole thieving mayor is involved in a MURDER of a citizen and it gets covered up in Crook County by the ASA shitheads on direction from our politicians.

Now even human lives are not important. And this wasn't some shithead ghetto dwelling gang banger who got what he had coming because of the life he led. This was a regular citizen out having a good time.

Some heads should roll, but this is Chicago and the pussies we have as politicians have stacked the deck so bad that the people don't have a chance.

There is no justice in this town. Terrorists like Ayers get to retire and collect a pension from the system they attacked and the mayor and his evil family and friends bankrupt this city so that the people will have to pay forever for his thievery. And why not take a few out while you're stealing?

But only 36% cared to even vote. You get the government you deserve, and Chicago gets shit.

We all aware that "Phat Phil" had his hands all over this case back in 2004.

The Feds should jump in and properly investigate this matter as it appears that it is a violation of someone's civil rights.

It would be the perfect case for Loevy or Flint Taylor to initiate a law suit over.

Neither Daley or Cline could avoid being deposed come April as they will be unemployed.

The detective didn’t identify any of the people her son had run into that night, she says, but did tell her, “You’d be really impressed by the names of the people involved in this.”

Well,the dectective did want to get promoted.

McHenry County State’s Attorney Louis Bianchi stalled prosecution of a case involving his nephew and ordered staffers to help a campaign contributor, new indictments released Monday alleged.

And we know that this kind of stuff doesn't go on here in Crook County. Lets see,the detective isn't under any influence from above. Devine doesn't owe Daley. J-Fled,why don't you refer this case to the feds?

Hmmm... Maybe history can repeat itself?
A cousin of the Kennedy clan, Michael Skakel wasn't brought to trial for 25 years for a murder committed in 1975. It was insinuated during the trial that the case was covered up due to the influence of the Kennedy's. Perhaps once the stuttering prick is out of office, someone in law enforcement will have the balls to go after Daley's nephew?

Kennedy Cousin Serving 20-Year Sentence for 1975 Murder of 15-Year-Old Martha Moxley;

(AP) Kennedy cousin Michael Skakel - a nephew of Robert Kennedy's widow, Ethel - was sentenced to 20 years to life in prison in 2002 for fatally beating Martha Moxley with a golf club in 1975 in a wealthy Connecticut suburb. Monday's decision came after years of appeals and a campaign by Skakel's cousin, Robert Kennedy Jr.

My brother spent a week in county on a old probation violation, turns out it was a computer error but he got arrested and had to sit for a week, no discussion, lets go right now. This is not how justice is supposed to work. Bad enough Cullerton's kid gets multiple DUI's in state vehicles and walks, but Daley's kin is involved in a death and walks clean?

You guys think some coppers would not love to embarrass Daley? You think these detectives didn't know who the alleged offender was? You think they didn't know the victim's family would raise hell if there were no charges? Come on. This Sun Times investigation is a stretch. The dead guys friends looked at a lineup and nobody could identify Vanecko. No ID in a lineup means no charges. Witnesses interviewed told the detectives the dead guy was the aggressor. The dead guy's group said he was punched once and fell back hitting his head. Punched once by someone they could not identify! People get shot or stabbed and there are no charges placed by the ASA on some occasions because the dead guy was the aggressor. So you have a dead guy who received one punch, who witnesses said was the aggressor, and the dead guys friends could not identify who punched him. Cozzi got royally fucked because of Jody, but he's on record being at the hospital per EMOC radio logs and hospital video. He's observed on video hitting the jagoff(who deserved it in my opinion). There is no coverup or charges to place in this Vanecko thing.

If I had done this or witnessed it I would feel like shit. Catholic guilt and all that. I guess that doesn't apply to "Princes of the City" who feel they are beyond any guilt.

I'm sure their lawyers told them to shut up. Good lawyerly advice.

They should talk to an old school Catholic priest. His advice would be different.

Then again, if you don't feel guilt what's the point?

So Daley's asshole kid brain thumps a kid with a baseball bat at the summer home in Michigan while in high school and nothing happens.

His nephew and his set of connected pals are bar hopping and do the same thing, but this kid dies. Again nothing happens and the file at the ASA's office is "lost" after a real bang up investigation.

The FBI will go after Cozzi, but this one is strictly off limits. I mean there's no influence from public officials on this one, right? So why should there be any federal time spent on this, right? A man lost his life, not just his civil rights, but no federal investigation, right?

Are those crickets I hear at the fed building? Hey Cook county ASA, where are you? Oh, that's right, a cop might have gotten rough with a gang banging murderer. We have to focus on that.

OT: From the Sun Times. George Ryan deposition sheds light on his Death Row decision It was a brief exchange, but the question was pointed: “Are you going to kill my son?” From federal prison in Terre Haute, Ind., former Gov. George Ryan, in what’s believed to be the first deposition he’s given about his historic 2003 clemency decision, said the question posed by a onetime classmate led to his move to clear out Death Row. ……One of the cases he considered involved the son of a onetime high school classmate. The son was on Death Row for shooting a police officer. Ryan didn’t name the inmate, but said he bumped into the classmate at a meeting. “That was a big impact on my decision, that statement in that meeting, that confrontation,” Ryan said. As he mulled whether to commute the sentences of 167 inmates on Death Row, Ryan said he withstood ridicule from the family of victims, who were “just brutal.” “They threw stuff at me when I stood on the podium and swore at me and, you know, called me all kinds of names,” Ryan said. At one point, Ryan admitted spending as little as 10 minutes on petitions but at another point he said he burned the midnight oil pondering cases. http://www.suntimes.com/news/4059287-417/george-ryan-deposition-sheds-light-on-his-death-row-decision.html?print=true

FYI: THIS incident gave birth to the idea of an Entertainment Detail in 018 -- to protect the clouted both on and off the job.

It first came to me in an IOD vision after I was battered in the head with a fire extinguisher at a parking garage across from McFadden's, and was formalized a short time later on a piece of semi-used toilet paper at Northwestern Hospital, while my ego was recovering from another IOD sustained after my APV was "cut off" by an invisible car. Thankfully, no witness statements were taken in either incident AND I was wearing my invisible helmet.

No one could pick out offender in a line up. Case presented to the ASAO. No charges because the victim was the aggressor. CCX'ed the case. No Cover up. Victim starts the war but loses the battle.

Oh yea? Try that as a defense for your kid if he is ever the puncher in a case like this. Especially if he is a foot taller and 100 pounds heavier. And your (or my) kid would have been locked up within 24 hours. I'm not saying the victim did not have some fault, but if the offender was defending himself why did they all run away. Stay and tell the police what happened. Yea, I know all were drunk, but the last time I checked being drunk was not a good defense. Ask a DUI who kills someone in a car accident.

And to anonymous #12 who says you can expect to get punched in the face if you walk towards someone? Sure, and if you punch someone in the face and that person dies as a result of the blow, you should expect to be arrested, tried, and go to prison.

If today's follow-up contains elements of the truth in several respects, a few folks in Area 3 deserve to be named.

According to the mom, a dick at the Area told her she'd be "impressed" with the other people involved in the altercation. The dick also told her that the lawyers for the other people came in to talk to the dicks, whereas her son's friends came in with their moms.

Everybody knows not to blindly take hindsight personal recollections at face value, but the lack of ANY credible official record lends a bit of credence to the mom's tale here. Daley and anyone carrying his coattails should rot in hell for a million things, this being only one.

Once again we see the inequality of justice. Cozzi goes to the federal pen for slapping a known habitual neighborhood nuisance. Daley, with the help of, former ASA dick devine, has his grubby hands in this failure of justice. With his drunken orge's of family members, getting away with not only criminal behavior, remember patrick daley,but now murder, with richard j vanecko. Now the mayor wants to keep on harping about gun control. Knock....knock...knock...answer the damn question, why do you think the police swept this under the rug and who possibly stole the files from the ASA's office? Why are convicteds felon po's still working for the cpd? Why cant we get answers, Instead of knock....knock...jokes? Enough of this gun control bs, good people need to protect themselves.For once we deserve answers, not you mr. Mayor, as a punch line.

Hitting someone for TALKIN SHIT is NOT self defense...it's a Simple Battery and if that person dies as a result of that Battery then it is HOMICIDE!! The other posters are right, if this was the other way around the kid would be in the joint for murder.

This case needs to be reviewed by the US Attorney due to the political influence of some of those involved.

The Cook County States Attorneys office and Command of CPD were prevented from conducting a fair and legitimate investigation due to relationships to Mayor Daley

I believe the media and Feds will eventually get to the true facts in the case.

We don't approve the charges. If the States Attorney wanted additional aspects investigated on condition of approval, THEY would have indicated their concern.

If you don't think there was an intentional cover-up on this case, you also believe that Northside and JFled are best of friends.

If you don't know anything about the case, then STFU. Area 3 did a good investigation. Got everyone, interviews and line ups. The victim's friend stated the victim charged the group as they were trying to pull him away. Offender was protecting himself from this victim. One punch to the face. No one could pick out offender in a line up. Case presented to the ASAO. No charges because the victim was the aggressor. CCX'ed the case. No Cover up. Victim starts the war but loses the battle. Case Closed.

I don't think anyone is faulting the dets. But the powers that be over ride investigations if it suits them and believe me brother if the roles of victim and offender were switched and all of the above played out exactly the same the SAO would have charged the case.

The dead guys friends looked at a lineup and nobody could identify Vanecko.

Do you think the fact Vanecko altered his appearance by shaving his head had anything to do with the friends not being able to identify him? Or maybe because Vanecko had on a hat the night of the incident and no one in the lineup had on a hat?

I can't believe anyone is here saying that Area 3 did everything on the up and up, or that anybody should shut up if they weren't there.

Where are the reports? Why was the case just reopened by the CPD? Is there any evidence that the mom or the friends are lying?

If this woman was treated by the dicks the way she describes now (i.e., no investigation, blown-off at the area, suggestion that she should be "impressed" by Vanecko and his friends), the dicks are the last fucking people that should be investigating this case.

To the asshole who put up the info on William (Stop Me Before I Kill Again) Heirens,,,why did you put it up?

To point out an inequity in your mind? Big difference between Heirens and Vanecko, such as no evidence it seems in the Vanecko case and Heirens' case.

Heirens is a POS who kidnapped a little girl from her bedroom, raped, then killed her and then cut up her body and put her in a sewer. He then cut a deal to save his ass when he was caught.

I've seen the Heirens file when I took a light duty detail to the records division. It filled 8, 3 drawer file cabinets with all the reports and evidence reports.

Do-Gooders have been trying to get him out for 30 years and can't,,,,there is a reason. He's guilty and wasn't railroaded.

Evidently Not! Case has been open all along and now its being re-investigated. I just hope you got some really large coin for this one. Please tell me you didn't settle for a better assignment but at the same pay grade. This is a gold star deal if there ever was one. At least tell me you got a suitcase full of cash. The kid is dead, his mother childless and no one even bothered doing a lineup till after RJ got a razor and went Kojak.

Making it go away for an average outfit knuckle dragger is usually good for low five figures. Making it go away for the King's nephew should have bought a small condo on the beach. Salt water beach too, not some BS Indiana rock quarry turned lake.

You did, didn't you? Yep, you went too cheap. Seeing as there will probably be a justice department inquiry ending in indictments for corruption, you might want to get an offshore account and demand some more right now. Also, don't agree to any late night meetings in secluded places or go on any fishing charters or anything with these snakes. Its a dangerous game. If you don't have the stomach for it maybe just offer to roll if they put you in the witness protection program. You can always relocate to Kansas and get a custodial job at a high school or something.

Get a remote start for your car too and always hit the button before you get too close.
