Closing Arguments at Francis Trial

Change of room to accommodate a larger audience - let's not disappoint:
  • Closing arguments will be held tomorrow. Robin Johnson is not only being charged with the murder
    of Rick Francis, but with the attempt murder of 4 other officers who responded and were backing
    Rick up that night.

    This could be ANY one of us, at ANY time, at ANY point in our careers- OUR families could be the ones in that courtroom- Rick's family needs and really appreciates the support

    Date - Wednesday - 30 October 2013
    Time- 10:30
    Room- 400 * note the room has been changed*

    This is a larger courtroom - We need to fill it
ISP had a trooper there the other day. Thank you sir.  It only takes a few minutes to stop by, and there's plenty of time between calls, motions and conferences.

Great turn out. I was not able to stay till the end, but big props to the judge who basically told the defense to take the bullshit "intimatition" crap and shove it.

OT:

Civilian inquiring: how is the area around Lunt and Western in West Ridge?

Also, let's say I'm on the El and a wilding episode occurs. What to do? Pepper spray? You are going to arrest me for carrying, so I'm curious about my legal options.

Thanks

You have a right to self defense. ......and you may find yourself exercising it at Lunt/Western.

Half true, the Commander of 024 was there the entire time, as was the new XO from 019. Nobody else including the Supt. or the First Deputy.

What an amazing turnout. Packed to the gills. PD sucked. Was brutal. I dont know how the jury found her not guilty of attempt murder of seski, leahy, rizzo and gauther. Same for the agg discharge. But hopefully this is a life sentence. Was in the front near the BS reveruns...It is amazing how these assholes think...laughing and snickering and blurting shit out...just an out and out disrespect for the judicial system. This is indicative of an out of control culture that accepts "stop snitching" and would rather a cop killer get off on a technicality than be held responsible.. This bitch can rot in her crazy hell. Fuck You Robinson....Rot In Hell

Justice finally served for Chicago Police Officer Francis. You were a true hero to me, personally, in your own, understated manner. And in the way you really listened. And really cared. May our Lord forever hold you in his loving embrace. Rest in peace, now, Officer Francis. Godspeed.

Joe Bossio was a very decent guy. It was years since he was assigned to 019, then he went to 001 and finished up as an inspector. Very good of him to come.

I would never arrest someone for defending themselves. I would simply document what happened on a case report. Leave any charges or no charges up to the genius's at the States Attorney's office.

The lawyer did not claim an insanity defense because he was planning on her getting convicted. If she was a dangerous person, then police should have been notified of such. Psychiatrists are supposed to notify law enforcement of dangerous mentally ill people. Certain ethnic groups have been over diagnosed as "schizophrenic" but are the police notified, obviously no because it is a lie and that is why I blame the quack doctors.

Who was supt. then? Phil Cline or Jody Weiss? If Weiss maybe he is out of town and he knows he wasn't loved. If it was Cline, it is inexcusable he didn't show up. He makes a ton of money at the memorial foundation for christ sake. For running a police charity. He should only take a stipend for gas money and travel. That he makes 6 figures is a sin.
