Aldrecreature Burke to Practice Law
It's seldom so obvious, but does anyone else think the fix is in?
- Spotted in branch 44 today was former alder woman Sharon Dixon who looked just like a hype searching for a rock on the west side. She is being represented by none other than Ald. Burke himself, yes he looked like a lost puppy attempting to figure out how to operate in a courtroom. Anyway, Sharon will be staying a bit longer at Cermak hospital while Alderman Burke figures out how to get the charges dropped and fill in Sharon on how and who to sue on the Police Department
Eddie hasn't practice criminal law in how many years? If ever? Anyone have a continuance date for this case? Anyone drop a line to Kass? You want to see the Chicago Machine Fix in action, drop by Branch 44 and check this one out.

What time was this? Spotted by sibling at Chicago Club with author David McCullough at noon. Left early saying he had to be somewhere at 1:30.
Kinda of weird?
No conflict of interest at all?
Burke represent the city and he is defending a nutjob against the city of chicago?
So if i have a law degree i can represent bangers even thou im an active police officer?
Sound like a Joe Ferguson down at ethics has an easy case to work on!
Can anyone say conflict of interest? If POs can't defend people in criminal matters in cook county, how the f%ck can an alderman? Yeah, the one who may be approving a city settlement one day.
Lemme get this straight; anti-gun (for you & me) Burke is defending someone charged with a gun crime?
Nothing surprises me anymore. Which alderthief was it that was defending the shitheads on the South Side? Brookins, maybe? So Burke defending this former alderthief is just par for the course. But did you expect any ethics, legitimacy or common sense to come from the City Council Chamber?
Long time reader, first time poster. WTF! What has this its coke to?
isnt that conflict of interest for an alderman doing criminal defense?
Continued till 12 jun, 44-4.
She must have threatened to talk to the FEDS if somebody did not help her. For Burke to come out must be something he really wants quiet!
She is a perfect example of the empty heads "they" put in some Aldermanic spots to vote like puppets. Now we know who "they" are.
I have met some Aldermen I thought were a little off. Apparently Alderman Burke feels he has to be involved. Is he afraid she might spill the beans?
Only in crook county. If she's convicted she can then claim attorney incompetence!
Damn... Did she have something on Burke?
That was the ONLY way anybody could think of that she could get Eddie The Oily Pimp to rep her in a criminal case.
Br.44??
Shit... Burke was as lost as a ball in tall weeds...
He hasn't been to a branch court in 45 fucking years.
Now... He can tell you every nook and cranny at the Daley Center...
Eddie "the slimeball" Burke will show up in court wearing his thousand dollar suit with his "irish flair" . He'll dazzle everyone in court with his wit and banter. After Eddie is through spinning his tales on how Mrs O'Learys cow didn't burn down Chicago all will be forgotten and Sharon will walk out a free woman.
Perhaps she has some information Burke & his associates need kept quiet, and they fear she'll start blabbing if she's looking at jail time....
Isn't this a conflict of interest?
Times must really be tough. Now let Burke seek a raise for Alderman by saying "Look at me !" I have to chase bond slips to make ends meet. CBR Attorney Judge...I hope he doesn't wear his gun to the courtroom.
If he can fix a case for a child molester, he can fix this one. And his wife in on the Illinois Supreme Court. How's that for a criminal fix.
Do you really believe that there is justice here? Criminals have taken over the whole system.

Next time try posting in language we can understand.
Dixon must have some dirt on someone important for Burke to dust off the robe and wig. He's probably doing it ProBono too.
6 murders in less than 48 hours in Area South. All started on mother's day.

It is painfully obvious why you haven't posted before!!
I call BS...no way is Burke that dumb; he has a lot of lawyers to do his bidding. He has more suck holes than the enema lab of Northwestern Hospital. He practices law the old fashioned ways; winks and nods and a late night phone call. Give me a break!
Lemme get this straight; anti-gun (for you & me) Burke is defending someone charged with a gun crime?........
I'm sure he would tell you that he is not defending the gun charge, but defending her against the racist way the police treated her
She is probably owed a favor and called it in. You would too if you were in her shoes.
the thing to watch is this.
what will the prosecution do. also watch who the judge is.
i bet eddie has been banging the phone over this him anita and a few others will decide this over drinks then put on a show for the public and she will get the firearm back permit back and nothing on her record
I heard he was wearing a really nice suit though.
sharon dixon is a racist piece of sh-t just like bo n eric holder.

That would be a nice thought, but her accusations would be disregarded because she's nuts.
she's gonna talk!

Refrain from posting until you can do so coherently.
Off topic SCC but is it just me or does the closing of the RedLine just before the summer "Apple Pickin' Season" seem like a strange coincidence? Hmmmmm. Closed from 95th to Cermak starting May 19th...reopens in five months..
I believe it is properly called "Motion to fix."
And the proper way to work it is for the clout to sit on the lawyer's bench, prominently visible and in front, and to first say something to the judge like "Hi Bill, how's the wife and family? You're up for election again soon, aren't you?" "Well, see you at the slating committee meeting." and then to go sit down. Then the clout whispers nonsense to the lawyer who stands up and files an appearance. The judge gets the idea and officially, the clout was never there.
Dare I ask, did anyone get a cell phone picture of the grey ghost himself in court? Now that would be a good one and only someone who can walk in with a cell phone could get one. Now who could that be? Hmmmm.
He doesn't have to....it's the politics that wins cases in Cook County with many political hacks wearing a black rope.
Sounds like an ethics violation. Ooops forgot, Aldermen can do whatever they want. If anyone has been fired for an ethics violation, I would sue the city on this one.
I remember when he on viewed a baggage thief at midway airport and he almost pooped on himself.
Was Burke escorted to court with city police officer bodyguards????
OT:
Infamous Revenue Guy on the Bike spotted doing pickup truck tickets in 36th/41st Wards today.

First time typer?
Ret.CPD I locked up a dealer years ago 4x's each time was with a gun each time it was confiscate and destroy after a guilty plea all 4x's it was the same gun. BR.29. If this bitch takes a fall I will eat this computer.Burke is nuts everybody knows that.
He's such a noble guy!
Isn't that a conflict of interest, dare I say, UNETHICAL.
Burke a draft avoider along with scores of others including Richy and friends and the 19th ward leading the pack of dodgers.
Again in 003. Ppos on-view shots fired. Discharge their weapons. Bad guys in custody. No one hit.
Is Burke going to recuse himself on voting for the settlement if there is one ?
>I believe it is properly called "Motion to fix."
=============================
Well said brother. It is still the norm for the connected.
How many Judge' involved in "Gray Lord." were appointed by none other then Burke.
He never did a thing for the CPD. He was a copper moments and is collecting a pension from the Job.
Poor Ed cannot make ends meet. At least fast Eddie V took care of people in his ward and got nothing in return. Eddie V was lso good to the police.
Gets really old with these hacks who filled their pockets to no end.
Dixon...hey eddie I need some help
Eddie...I'm busy
Dixon....remember that murder case?
Eddie...I'll be right there.
Did he slip two bucks to the court clerk to get his case called first?
Burke was that loudmouthed imbecile Joseph Curtin's clout. Need I say more?
Why is it when someone we dislike is arrested the book should be thrown at them. She was arrested for possessing a holstered weapon
that the second amendment allows her to possess and that the NRA is fighting for in Illinois. Double Standard here!
Sounds like an ethics violation?
5/14/2013 12:46:00 PM
You have to have ethics to violate them. In which case he's safe.
So if i have a law degree i can represent bangers even thou im an active police officer?
5/14/2013 12:19:00 AM
If you are a registered attorney and a sworn member on the CPD, you can practice criminal law in any Illinois county, but Cook County.
Off topic
I just wanted to get it out there that Case Files Chicago and Vested Interest in K9's have joined together with Tupperware to raise funds to purchase bullet and stab resistant vests for two of Chicago's very own, K9 Sammy and K9 Kodyr. Lets help keep these officers safe. To find out more, go to http://tinyurl.com/VIK9s-chicago2. Also, a direct way to donate is to go to www.VIK9s.org. Please pass the word around.
I was there on a case and let me tell you Dixon looked like a shell shocked dope fiend. Eyes vacant with no sort of emotion other than confusion when asking "why do I need to go the cermak hospital?" Burke was there shuffling papers trying to look important but ended up looking confused with his little lackey following behind.
Dixon was always a condescending arrogant piece of garbage and made sure she imposed her "Alderman" status in the single encounter I had with her on the street in 10th Dist of her bitching of hypes hanging on her doorstep/office. Have fun in county with your former constituents made up of dope fiends and prostitutes!!
Protestors looked safe walking through neighborhood to new school locations . All they know how to do is complain .
Fuck Aldercreature Burke . He assigned Rosemary Grant-Higgins to a judge. Remember her when she was an ASA in Misd Ct and didn't know shit. Cried when Judge Handy? or whoever reemed her in open court. I was embarrassed being a testifying police officer. Ex hubby rides Burke's coattails too.

Ex-act-ly.
And unlike the regular schmoes appearing before the court, the clout is in and out quick.
The mob lawyers get the same professional courtesy.

I'd bet my next uniform check he had his pimp gun in his ankle holster.
And aldermen don't have to seek a raise. It comes automatically.
Yeah, and a former superintendent and a former general counsel to the department handle criminal defense cases...so what?
Again in 003. Ppos on-view shots fired. Discharge their weapons. Bad guys in custody. No one hit.
Great job, and it goes to show the strategy is working!
What no one knew Burke is a POS?
Dixon could not afford Geiger so she went with Burke.

Why, do you think when you are in that situation you can guarantee 100% that you will hit the bad guys? Weren't you a PPO before? I bet you are one of those super copper who knows everything. It's good to hear that none of them were hurt and they can go home to their family in one piece. I can tell that you are one of those Jerk Copper in this job that shouldn't even be a Police.
CCSAO should file a Motion to Disqualify Burke AND refer the matter out to the ARDC.
And if Burke didn't file an Appearance in the case, the Judge should tell Burke to go sit in the gallery or GTF out of the courtroom.
Any wonder Chicago is going to be on 48 hours this Saturday?
Absolutely disgusting behavior.
You can thank Alderman Mary OConnor in 41,she is pushing the tickets on pickup trucks.Thank God we voted Democrat!
Burke had a nice suit? Been fooling people a long time.ROBERT HALL operated in his zone a long time ago on Kedzie and Archer.Trust me,he still has the suits and his body guards gets his left overs.Dont tell me he had his plaids on and fake tips???
I dont care if Burke is rich or a great Alderman.I do ,for a fact say that he is a terrible singer and a bad bad bad entertainer.OUCH OUCH .sHEMP from the stooges has a better vocals.
I'm hearing that a 6th district officer was dragged by a fleeing suv. Some bumps and bruises but she's ok. Careful out there!

Nothing is free with those people. There is a cost attached somewhere that might not be readily visible. Dixon will pay somehow, or she already has.

Double standard? I don't think anyone on this blog has ever advocated conceal carry inside a police station for the mentally ill. This was not joe citizen trying to protect him/herself. This was either a crazy person or someone high on drugs who was walking around the 10th district station seeing things that weren't really there. YOU ARE A DUMMY!
How is this for some history. Way back in the day when the police academy was on O'Brien St. east of Maxwell Street we used a shooting range under the stands at Soldier Field. Many times saw politicians including Eddie Burke pull up and go into the Bears facility for their massages and whatever. Nice to be a connected politico. And no I didn't vote for Abe Lincoln.

You are softer than puppy shit if you really believe this or think this would ever happen. Don't you realize that Burke and his committee slate the judges and that almost all slated judges win. They owe him, man you just don't get it

Couldnt agree with you more. If you havent been in that situation, you have no right to say ANYTHING or judge. Training, practice, books don't mean shit. When it happens all bets are off. These guys did a great job

Having to register for this blog and having to give a name, to the moderator at least, would cut down on the hateful BS. I don't even know where that flame of a post came from. For what? The officer didn't post anything obviously wrong or knuckleheaded.
All that is necessary is to go home safe, all the rest is nonsense.

1. the blog is already moderated, so, if a comment gets posted, it's already been read and determined to be within the blog owners' criteria.
2. requiring registration would only reduce participation. is that what you'd prefer?
3. you've got a rather delicate definition for 'hateful bs'. i'd suggest you grow a pair, but that might a bit too rough for your sensitive nature to endure.
4. better for someone to vent their spleen here, rather than kick their dog, even when it appears to you that there's been a 'failure to communicate'.
5. if it's any comfort, and even if it isn't, 'we all die, it's just a question of when', so, take heart, you delicate flower, you.
