Surprise...NOT!
- Attorney Sladjana Vuckovic was acquitted tonight of charges she
improperly gave her personal cell phone to a client who was being
questioned in the murder of a Chicago police officer.
A Cook County jury deliberated a little less than three hours before acquitting Vuckovic of two counts of bringing contraband into a penal institution.
Officers of the court know better that to do what this bottom-feeder did. Or at least they're supposed to. It is amazing how the only people held 100% responsible for their every single action and can never even plead "human error" to anything are the police.

What's gonna happen to the ASA that go locked up a couple of months ago for battery and CTTL at Clark/Belmont and had her meltdown on YouTube? Did she have her court date yet?
Tribune not blocking commits for this, why?
Has IARDC been notified? There needs to be discipline noted.
Take her bar license and scuff it up. She would do the same to your Illinois Police certification if you did the same thing.
America
Well unfortunately this is what happens when stupid people are allowed to vote they becme the jury pool in this corrupt county... The prosecutors did an awesome and difficult job that faced a huge uphill battle that also included an incompetent judge.
First of all I am appalled by the verdict.
Second of all how does someone who defends cop killers still have a job with any part of the city services. That's absurd and something needs to be done about that
The most corrupt city, inside the most corrupt county, inside the most corrupt state in these un-united socialist states.
Would you expect anything less in this county?
Prepare for the multi million dollar lawsuit!
Here comes the lawsuit!!
B et we would've been convicted
U nbeleivable !!
L ook the other way- YA RIGHT !!
L ooking out for their own
S he's a shameful disgrace
H eld 100% accountable,but not them
I really hate crook county
T this system sucks!

goes to show that even juries are tainted. Had any LEO fucked up like this bitch they would have been hung in less than 3 hours.
She was charged with bringing the phone in to the interview room, not letting him use it. Stop conflating the two. If the dicks didn't want phones in there, they should have taken her phone. And if they could have gotten her for obstruction, they would have. But they couldn't and they didn't. He'll still go away for a long time.
A cook county jury, ... That says it all!
I was called to jury duty with these people, all I can say is wow, and there should be tests before becoming a juror, most would not pass
These jurors just literally pissed on Flisk's grave.
wow, ummm you need to turn this blog into a reality show so America understands the smoke and mirrors and you get paid for it, so maybe you set it up to go to your pensions etc. Maybe I'm nieve because I am not the police, but I want this information out there so more of the public opens their eyes. Knowledge is power and the majority has no idea of what your lives are really like. We love you guys be safe and know many of us care and appreciate the sacrifice and service that the REAL police are providing. By real I mean those in the trenches working the hardest districts, and risking their lives daily, not sitting on facebook just collecting a check...

As a PO I never get picked for a jury, still have to go down there and waste a day. Many PO's are not registered to vote and give as the reason so they won't get called for jury duty. So they get who they get for jury duty.
This has got to become policy, clearly posted and uniformly enforced, regarding use of phones by those in custody.
So now we can be taped, shithead's lawyer can bring him a cell phone to pull some strings on the case and we get treated like absolute shit by our mayor.
Now tell me, why would anyone want this good for shit job? And for those on the job, why stay? There is little chance for advancement, it is all rigged, we are under strength, PO's cannot bid to other districts because they rarely open up spots to bid to and there is close to zero job satisfaction or sense of accomplishment.
I would advise anyone considering such a career to do something else with your life. This is nothing but frustration and disappointment.
All of them are lawyers the judge the Asa and the bottom feeder just what you should expect
How about the incompetent CPD post signs just like businesses have for trespassing NO CELL PHONES IN INTERVIEW ROOMS. I bet half the officers on the job don't even know this so how can and merit CTA lawyer know it.
Not being on the jury, and only getting a very one sided statement of what transpired, I can only guess at what the jury thought, but it would not surprise me at all that they believed the sole reason for the charge was an attempt by police to punish a lawyer who defended a cop killer. It would not be much of a stretch to get any jury to believe that. It might even well be the real reason for all I know.
I have to wonder how many times lawyers or other people have been allowed to keep cell phones in the same area and prisoners have used them without anyone giving a rat's ass.
If the people waiting at the dmv are in any jury, beware.

So you are OK with what she did then? I mean, he was convicted, so no harm no fowl.
You are like my wife with our kids. "Let them be kids" she always says and never corrects them They walk all over her and don't listen. When I'm there, they listen because I correct their behavior all the time, not some of the time. It's simple, they don't test me because they know the outcome.
I hope the supervisor that caught her giving this murderer her phone to use in custody makes that complaint to the IARDC. It is up to you, my man. The States Attorney's Office won't do it. Professional coutesy, you know. Almost like some kind of "Code of silence" among attorneys and judges.
You'll need to make this a stain on her record. It may keep her from becoming a judge. You know that is coming.
Y'all need to take a look at our former superintendent's testimony in this case. Wonder who bought him off. Hmmmmm.
And you're suprised? The way it is, the cop is always wrong.
Will the lawsuit end in Not Guilty?
Probably not.
The result tells us more about the Cook County Jury makeup of typical Obama voters that we are seeing will be seeing in the future.
Try to remember these jury pools when you ate dealing with them as victims.
FUCK THEM. Everyone one of them. They can kiss my white, dimply ass.
Obama voters = Cook County jury pool = the end of normal society as we know it.
The verdict is not surprising based on the facts of the case. Now, the department should post signs on every entrance door to these interview rooms prohibiting certain items to be taken into these rooms. Recall the ,at two times, that arrestees were shot in these interview rooms when visitors brought guns into the rooms? Who searched these people? No one! Put a locker outside each room and require the attorney to secure their bags and coats. Common sense is just ordinary sense and everyo9ne has a different definition. This attorney was only arrested because this was a heater case.
This surprises you? Lmfao. Thats why I dont do shit anymore. Fuck these assholes.
There should be a ten year moratorium on all law schools to thin the herd. Way too many of these unproductive members of society.
On November 30, 2011, the State itself admitted the interview room at Area 2 was "otherwise not necessarily a penal institution." Check the official court reporter's transcript at page 5.

ABSO-FUCKING-LUTELY NOTHING! The "Agg bat on the public way" ASA's Daddy was a big wig in the ASA's offfice years ago.
Remember this, that squinty eyed bitch Anita will toss your ass under the bus in a fucking second, but if your protected by your clout, you can do any damn thing you want.
I'm not sure, but wasn't this case a bench trial?
Man I can't wait till the Democrates pass a law that would entitle illegals to be eligible for jury duty.
Have you seen the new television commercial for the GWC Law Firm? GWC stands for Goldberg, Weisman and Cairo. It is anti-police and, on their website, the first blurb of news is "Anita Alvarez Fundraising Event Hosted by GWC". Wonderful.
Why was she allowed into the room with her cell phone in the first place? Think about it. Safety first.
So why should anyone be surprised at this outcome that was a forgone conclusion of not guilty. It would have been a real surprise if she would have been found guilty.
Why was this weak case allowed to go forward is the real question. The jury is not going to take the side of the big bad bully police against an innocent,albeit naive, lawyer that volunteer's her services.
Could it be the big paycheck that the city is going to have to dole out. Just asking. No code of silence hear, move on nothing to see.
What's the law? Doesn't sound like there was one that covered what occurred. A police officer thinking there is one doesn't cut it.
1:53 is unfortunately right. The charge for contraband was bringing the phone in, regardless of whether he used it. Obstruction would have flowed from the content of the calls and the results. The verdict isn't surprising in that light.
Also, sadly, the ARDC is very unlikely to discipline her in any way. She was acquitted, so they'd have a hard time disciplining her.
Finally, I don't know why public attorneys get apparently all the time they want to do these pro bono things. They seem to have quite a lot of time to do mess around with criminals when they're supposed to be resolving all the slip-and-falls on the L platforms.
But like SCC says, if an officer did this, even innocently so the guy could get his kids picked up he would be stripped, charged criminally and convicted of a felony. The corruption of this city and its disrespect for those who serve it sickens me more each day.
Disappointing verdict in an iffy case. THE SAO had two experienced Supervising ASAs prosecuting the case. They did a good job with what they had. A jury found it was not enough for a conviction. I don't see where you see "corruption." It is understandable that a Jury might not see an interview in lockup as a "penal institution," regardless of the fact that the statute includes a police station in the definition of a penal institution. I just don't sdee how this is corruption.
seems i see videos of police officers going into interview rooms with their cellphones, cigarettes, lighters, and things like that all the time? i thought interview rooms were for witnesses and suspects, and were different than the lockup. doesn't look like this attorney brought a phone into lock up, but into the interview room? or did she take it into lock up. seems lock uup would be a big no-no, but interview room? i can see why the jury did what it did if that was where the perp was being held when the lawyer got there.
Do these assholes really want a chicago without a police department? Someone mentioned Rahm would love something of this nature. He could line his pockets with money and the votes of illegals he hires to do what CPD used to do.
Honest citizens, CPD included can get fucked as easily by some idiot running their mouths, but the truly evil and crooked (even if they are dumb) walk.
This shit is so backwards. I am not a police officer but come from a long line of LEO's and MP's. I thank you CPD from the bottom of my heart for doing what you do every day.You guys and gals deserve so much more. Why you are shit upon by the Powers that (Rahm) are in control is beyond me. YOU help the city, what is wrong with that?
.....What's gonna happen to the ASA that go locked up a couple of months ago for battery and CTTL at Clark/Belmont and had her meltdown on YouTube?.....

Cook County Jury...
This thought just occurred to me.
Along with VOTING RIGHTS will illegals now also be called for JURY DUTY?
Defense Attorneys would love to have in the box people who have been living underground illegal lives. They could say they want the ethnic or bilingual diversity, HELL NO! They want people who hate and fear the police and sympathize with the criminal element.
Stay Safe, it used to be that being a Police Officer would preclude one from serving on a jury but that is no more especially on civil cases. The key to avoiding being on a jury is to get busy as the police. As soon as notified you need to make arrests and write some movers and when questioned in the jury process tell the truth that you may be called at any time soon to testify as an arresting officer in these cases.
She's not working for the CTA any longer. Possibly now with Loevey and Loevey law firm.
I was a policeman for more than 30 years and I'm sure I've done exactly what this woman did in exactly the same place and not once did anyone make me aware that it was forbidden to allow an arrestee to use my phone. No notices were posted during my time and every policeman brings his phone into the area with him/her.
This case should never have been brought in the first place.
One incompetent political hack takes care of another.
Did judge clay get caught recently pulling jury cards out of the pool trying to control who are in the juries!

Agreed 100%.I've got 27 yrs in patrol and don't have a clue what the law says regarding cell phone usage provided by an attorney.Common sense tells me it's not kosher,but I've never seen this addressed.CTA lawyer screams political stooge who can't make it in the real world.I'm willing to give her the benefit of the doubt,that no malicious intent was meant,but she has to be as dumb as an old shoe.

You did 30 fucking years as stupid as you are? What the fuck is right about giving a jag off who just killed a police officer a fucking cell phone? I want to fucking scream!!! What is wrong with you fuckers.
No notices were posted?!? Did you use any fucking common sense in your 30 year stint.
God damn you people make me sick.

==============
what authority would CPD have to post such a sign?
If as the someone pointed out the state is not even convinced the area is even part of a penal institution, just what authority is there in the law for the CPD to make arbitrary rules?
I don't let victims use my cell !! my privacy is the utmost importance to me.

Intriguing. More info, please?
The courts and the jurors dont care about us or what happens to us. When is everyone going to wake up, we're expendable...
they will never convict one of their
own there are those that have and those that have not
Here is how to solve the problem so that it never happens again. Bring the accused to the lockup and have the attorney interview him through the glass. No physical contact at all. When the scum is done return the prisoner back to the interview room.
In cook county is a great place to be a criminal.

Here, use my phone, order a pizza and arrange your alibi and have your homies kill all the witnesses.
Give them my regards.
so who do you blame?
To be a sgt in the detective division u need a phone call.
Part of a Sgt. job is to monitor prisoners! Yea hard to believe they let Sgt's even dabble in fighting crime.
Yet phones come in and kids hang themselves yet same old story.
If a Detective doesn't watch his prisoner the Sgt will blow the case.
I know a few Sgt's processed kids and were called Dicks like a previous FOP president but sometimes they are worse then the ASS-HOLES in the room.
Tell me i'm wrong!
The WHOLE Cook county court system is rigged! If you are LEO,EXPECT no justice!
"I was a policeman for more than 30 years and I'm sure I've done exactly what this woman did..."
Look, the job has changed tremendously in the last 5 or 6 years.
Cops today are held well beyond accountabilty, they're held to an unrealistic standard, one that make the job nearly impossible to do without some negative consequence.
If a cop can be charged with severe consequences, for such little infractions, shouldn't the same be held for an attorney ?
Now, my thirty year master of law enforcement, don't you have a single memory of a defense attorney blowing your statement out of proportion in court, ridculing you in front of a room full of people, and minimalizing your efforts, after you simply enforced a law as you were suppose to do?
Thats what happened here, and by law, she was guilty.
I don't think you spent any time in court Sir.

Jesus, when I go to the movies they play a notice to shut off your cell phones. Yet nothing in police stations. Go figure.
Sorry, but I would like to see the Flisk and Peters family file a civil suit against her. She is most certainly is going to sue the city, and if sued civilly, it could tie anything she gets for years.
You did 30 fucking years as stupid as you are? What the fuck is right about giving a jag off who just killed a police officer a fucking cell phone? I want to fucking scream!!! What is wrong with you fuckers.

SCC, maybe this person can be the poster child for your rule #6.
6. Anyone who continually drops the "F" bomb in their post to make their point, won't get a chance to make it here.
That is a bunch of bullshit!
If you use sthe word perp----you are an idiot.
Let me try it again with correct spelling this time.
If you use the word perp, you are an idiot.
Well we all know that lawyers and courts argue the law and what was proper or improper in the sequence of events from arrest to maranda and a smart attorney finds what can win a case in this case the use of a phone,let this be a lesson to those that didn't know how a case can be thrown!l Let's not argue about how much time on the job we have or who's the smartest,we all can learn something if not,like the saying goes....if you we're smart you would know you we're dumb!
"...Tell me I'm wrong..."
OK--You're wrong!
Let me clarify what the law states in Illinois no cell phones to be used in a detention room. That would include a police interview room in a police station. If you were in court and heard the testimony her defense was she did not know there was a law againts it. NO excuse a criminal lawyer should know the law and not her first time representing someone. She allowed him to make 24 phone calls 2 of which came back with blocked numbers. She also stated she did not believe the police allow inmates to make the call required by law. She just wanted him to talk to his family and friends. How nice a murderer gets to talk to his family and frinds. So much for Michael Flisk or Stephen Peters getting that chance again.
