Corp Counsel Steps in Shit
Golly, it's almost like the corruption runs forth from City Hall and infects everything it touches:
- A federal judge Monday found a lawyer for the city intentionally misled the court when he concealed a key recording of a police radio dispatch to attorneys for the family of a man shot to death by Chicago cops in 2011.
Hours later, the veteran city attorney, Jordan Marsh, resigned, city officials said.
The judge was none too kind in his criticism:
- Marsh, who handled civil rights cases for the city, knew about the recording before the lawsuit went to trial in March 2015, Chang said in a 72-page opinion.
“The court has no choice but to conclude, based on the record evidence, that Marsh intentionally withheld this information from the court,” the judge wrote.
Another city attorney, Thomas Aumann, “failed to make a reasonable inquiry, as required by the discovery rules, to search for the recording,” Chang added.
Aumann resigned on Aug. 31, city officials say.
No word if their law licenses are in jeopardy, but any firm hiring them after this would be foolish in the extreme - not knowing the rules of discovery? intentionally withholding evidence from a court?
How many other cases just got re-opened?

It's the Chicago Way.
Jordan was one of the best attorneys Corp Counsel had. No way he did this on his own if in fact it happened maliciously. He was definitely one of the good guys in that office with the best interests of police always in mind. I'll reserve my judgement until the real story emerges.
I would not worry about their careers. So the judge is pissed, he will get over it and forget everything. As long as the two lawyers are good democrats and progressives they still have a bright future, just maybe not in Cook Co.
Talk about stepping in shit, Elgin has a problem with its Police Explorer Post. One of its leaders is "allegedly" guilty of stealing funds.
Another black eye - found out when the department started to look into its Explorer Post when the "Hero" in Fox Lake was outed.
For what he allegedly stole ($6,000?) was it worth losing the job and the benefits? (which will happen if found guilty)
Well if you can read between the lines on these it's rather obvious that some of the Corp counsel people maybe are actually on the side of the police most of the time. You can rest assured those days are over.
"Corp Counsel Steps in Shit."
No problem, SCC...
DOJ is going to back track those shitty foot prints

Fuck all the bullshit,
The buck stops with Rahm.
Hope the feebs March his ass out in handcuffs...
That'll be "Accountability" we believe in!

Viva Hate.
Police like you have no friends.
Give them the dry, flavorless,
un-sexy Policing they say they want.

There are criminal lawyers and there are "criminal" lawyers.

A chart that any smart, intelligent, wise, with an ounce of integrity and with a family to take care of!! should follow!!!!
WOW... This is truly some shit; if this doesn't give an agrument that EVERYONE is on the take - I don't know what is. This is actually more SHOCKING...
Can ANYBODY be trusted?
Rahms' national political aspirations are like the road kill you smell
long before you actually pass it on a hot summer day. I would love
to see that digitally deficient homunculus "perp walked" out of his
abode in his shit stained underfrocks by a team of wildly grinning feds.
The Fed could do a "Godfather" style reckoning, knocking on the doors of
the alder-thieves while they're at it.
That's hope we can believe in.
Stay fetal my friends and watch for each other. Go home safe everyday.
Citizen, not CPD here.
I encountered Jordan Marsh a number of years ago when he was very Junior and doing more menial legal work for the City. Thought he was slime back then so this wasn't a shock to me.
He just obeys his masters----he is not working on his own. I doubt that many of those attorneys have a choice and are told exactly what to argue. Many times, I can imagine that Aldermen are in the middle. My guess is that he did as he was told so he will have a new gig by the end of the week, making far more money at a private firm.
Anyone could file a complaint with the attorney review board to repeal their law licenses. Helloooooo FOP.
Keep your head up Jordan, and thank you for representing me a few years back. Your hard work is why we won!! Sgt JS.
What happens to him will depend on how heavy his juice is.
Can you imagine if the lawyers that continuously sue the City were held to the sam e standards? No suborning perjury, following the rules of discovery and how about just being honest when you have a guilty client and refusing to help their client steal from the taxpayers?
The court dockets would be clear, the taxpayers would have nothing to worry about....but there is no payday in being honest counselor, is there?
Hate a lawyer, every last one of them. The 99% dishonest ones make the one per cent honest ones look bad.
Did they kick or bite anyone at the Alley or Taboo Taboo?
No sympathy for lawyers here.
Political hacks. Thes best money could buy.
You guys should know better than to believe everything you read. Auman resigned in August because he got a better job with the Feds. The other guy disclosed the 911 tapes day before trial. This judge let the trial proceed and when it didn't turn out so great and the jury found the coppers not guilty is when the defense bitched and moaned about evidence problems. All the evidence was heard and the jury ruled in their favor. This judge vacated their judgement and ruled a mistrial. Something ain't right but it sure wasn't on the corp counsel or the coppers part!!!
Jordan marsh is a good guy. Had him on a past case and he was one of the better attornies
Jordan Marsh is a good man. You don't know anything. The corruption flowed from the CPD to the corp counsel's office. He just stayed there too long and too often believed the crap he was fed by the police.
Unbelievable how fast this blog turns on a good person who spent his entire career defending the cops.
Retired now, but was once represented by Corp. Counsel. The one that I had hated the police and had I had a choice would not have had her representing me. However, we won and she still treated me and my fellow defendants as if we were guilty. One of the worse experiences of my career.
I wonder what evidence is contained in the transmissions that is so damning to police that he is willing to risk his law license over it.
Once again, there are mics on the EXTERIOR of the squad cars as well as embedded. So if you feel you want to say something to your partner of a colorful nature, write it down! Destroy at the end of the day.
I'm checking on the Illinois Attorney Registration and Disciplinary Commission website to see about filing a complaint in the public interest.
I'm filing a public interest complaint with the Illinois Attorney Registration and Disciplinary Commission in hope of getting their law licenses revoked.
ARDC problems for them guys
All BS. Aumun "resigned" because he moved, not having anything to do with this case. Jordan is a good guy, easy on the Monday morning QB SCC. We don't like it when it's done to us, why are we doing it so liberally when it comes to those that defend us?! Jordan wasn't in physical possession of the tapes, which would have only helped his case. Rather, they popped up last minute and I think the judge said while on recess. There is a lot to the case. Simple mistake, yes? Conspiring to hold back evidence, absolutely not. This is just an extension of headhunting in Chicago.
For all you "workers" and "real police," with this in mind, if you still can't read the writing on the wall, let me connect the dots for you: if you do your job, you are bound to run across dude inc. (sorry, had to steal that) and will have to defend yourself. God forbid you choose your life over his, prepare to get fucked. The people that are there to defend us are going to be gone. Well, the ones that actually care. We will be left with demoralized b-string attorneys that can care less about you. This is an awful climate. I've met some citizens that are very supportive lately but it still feels like we're being crucified in the media and, well, within certain areas in Chicago that MF in one breath and beg for your help with the next.

Another idiot Monday morning QB. It's a zone 8 broadcast Sierra's (sp) partner said he heard, which actually helped the police case, not hurt it like you claim. God, is it me or is everyone commentating today a back-stabbing idiot? This is the best summary of events I've seen but I'm sure the drama queens will get back to speculating and trashing him:

You folks do realize that whatever was testified to by those officers is being reviewed with a fine toothed comb for potential perjury charges? The cops need to hire their own counsel and let the City know that there won't be a second trial.
The liberal lying machine has done this to policing,and to law abiding people everywhere! look at this from last nights "The Kelly file" with Megan Kelly the 3 heroes from Benghazi, listen Hillary let Americans be murdered and tortured thanks to these heroes that need top recognition! This movie will open many eyes, Hilliary lied Americans died and these guys don't lie they were there!

Can you say Disbarment?
Too many of you are commenting and don't know what the fuck you're talking about. A lot has been left out of this story, SCC, and it's a shame you jumped on the bandwagon, too. This guy did back the police in every position he held over decades at that Corp Counsel office. And you morons who want to "file a public interest complaint" go fuck yourselves---karma has a long damn memory.
I can speak of tom aumann's character and i would not believe a slum times article. Tom is a dedicated, honest and intelligent guy who takes pride in his work and credibility. I hear the same about jordan too. The scum times has diminishing credibility and they continue to do the dirty bitch work of the left instead of their job to report unbiased factual important news.

Wow.
Maybe someone could get the WHOLE story out there?
A lot more to this one than what's in the media right now.
You think the coppers will get a fair trial because someone fucked up an open and close case. Don't even want to get into the why or how it happened. Where is the Union and FOP? Hey CPD or any police this could be you on your next call. One step away from having everything you worked for on the line or your name in the media calling you a liar and a killer.
Well if you can read between the lines on these it's rather obvious that some of the Corp counsel people maybe are actually on the side of the police most of the time.
1/05/2016 01:42:00 AM
Maybe. Maybe that's true. Or, maybe the City was acting in its own best interests and the cops were merely a beneficiary of that action since the City's interests and the cops interests were aligned on that issue. There's a difference.
****************************************
"On the horns of a dilemma"
Marsh had 2 choices:
1. Follow the Rules of Professional Conduct and make a timely disclosure. In so doing, he would have likely incurred the wrath of the mayor, the City Council, and a lot of CPD. People who he has to see and deal with most every day. Not good.
2. Ignore the Rules of Professional Conduct and hope no one finds out. In so doing, he risks his law license and his career. Not good either.
Now the shit has hit the fan.
So did he do it because he was one of these "win at all costs" types?
Or was he just afraid of the political fallout?
Can't tell ya. Never met the guy. I wasn't there.
Regardless, the Rules of Professional Conduct are there for a reason. If a lawyer can not be counted on to follow the Rules, he should be held accountable.
Call the next case. Not a cop.
Listen people, States attorneys and Corp. counsel are not your friends. When you go to a police board hearing it's the corp. counsel that prosecutes you. They have no shame, no empathy, and commit prosecutorial misconduct all the time. When you go to a grievance hearing it's the corp. counsel that fights you tooth and nail and represents the city/department. They are corrupt, arrogant, and dangerous. They are never, and I mean never to be trusted, then again what do I know with over 25 yrs with what used to be a police department.
So an article gets published and everyone wants to make formal complaints. Wow. Funny how when it's some shit about us the police were all about waiting. Unreal
There's no doubt he was following marching orders from Rahm and Rahm's head yes men.
They'll just let him fall on the sword though.
Marsh is a good guy who was well prepared for a civil rights trial that I got caught up in a few years ago. He called the night before opening statements to help calm my nerves and to ask a few last questions in his effort to be as prepared as he could be. We won the case and I felt fortunate to have him working on our behalf. Hope he lands on his feet.
FYI
to all the on the ball officers sending question to the law department about traffic stops,use of force, & contact cards.
BEWARE of the info the law department replies are incorrect and will get you thrown under bus. Keep all correspondence and forward it to your white shirts by department email. Don't even bother asking a sergeant it will be wrong!
1st officer to screw up this paper sandbag will be made of an example of to put fear in department members.
Even FLOP still trying to figure out new orders!
Scc a post with examples of how DUMB these orders are would be great so the media and clouted can understand what working officer must go through. And NO i am not looking to make arrest for the SNARKY comments about not doing arrest.
Hey asshole looking to file with the ARDC...JM works for us on these cases and he's good at what he does FOR US!! Quite being a jag off & believing everything you read from the liberal media asshat!
Work at the black site. Involved in two ongoing total BS lawsuits. Not feeling very confident with them on my side now WTF.
This guy and Dean Andrews are probably best buds. From missing tapes to missing binders of interviews. I cant wait to see what's next! Dean Andrews should be decertified as a law enforcement officer.
Just say'n....We all knew how this city worked.
I know Aumann and Marsh and used to work with them. They always did their best to represent police officers with the integrity the legal profession demands. This is not the whole story. And as was stated above, all the evidence was disclosed before trial and I am sure Aumann and Marsh did everything they could to make that happen. What most in CPD do not realize is that those attorneys make less than half their market value because they are committed to their jobs and to their clients. They are not corrupt. They would never intentionally withheld evidence because doing so has no upside for them even where a case has bad facts. These guys have no juice. Juice doesn't make you an ACC. It is disappointing to read on this blog that some would want the very attorneys who fight for them to have their law licenses revoked. Soon, the members of CPD will have no quality attorneys left to fight for them. Support the Corp Counsel because all they do is support you through the good cases and the bad.
Big interview with Anita A in Chicago mag.
Interesting Q&As:
Q. I sense watching the protests—Black Friday, Christmas—that the police are behaving very gingerly. It’s almost like there’s a cloud of fear that making an arrest could trigger violence. Do you agree?
A. I don’t want to say that that’s what’s happening. I can imagine officers being maybe more apprehensive. I just think it’s a tough time to be a police officer.
Q. Do you have an opinion on Rahm’s firing of [police superintendent Garry] McCarthy?
A. The superintendent and I didn’t always agree on things. I think it’s the nature of our positions.
Q. Do you mean you could have some hot discussions with him or arguments?
A. Again, I don’t know why the mayor chose to do what he did. It’s his prerogative.
It’s his choice. It’s certainly not mine. I’ll always maintain a good professional working relationship with whoever the superintendent is.
Q. Do you have any feeling about who should have that job? Is it something that you might talk to the mayor about?
A. I probably won’t talk to the mayor about it. It’s not my position to tell him who the superintendent is going to be.
Q. Does it have to be an African American?
A. I think it should be who he has the most confidence in and who’s going to be the best person for the job. I don’t know.

So why not post the names? It was a deal with tax money it is the same amount of the famous police shooting!
No takers media?
I think all these people are heros picture a list of degenerate with long rap sheets sucking the City of Chicago dry while we all pay more taxes!
Rahm has done it again no settlement is too small. Why not post transcripts of these horrific torture scenes in the newspaper? No request for the videos of the depositions of the tortured? Bust out don't look to good test-a-lying!?
I am also guessing a few of the torturers are exempts bosses in the department now.
(wink wink) know for a fact seen the FOIA in the department mail.

Auman represented me on a case and he is a good attorney, honest. I have never posted before but you guys are pathetic just as bad as the public buying into the media bs without all the info.
It all begins and ends with Rahm and the election. All roads lead to him and the timing of the election. To believe anything else would be naive. Then again this state does have a high concentration of sheep in the population.
Fitting the ChicagoWay®...crooked city hall lawyers and greedy chief justices, just doing what they're told by a higher authority and a total incompetence compared to that of the WH. No need for a DOJ investigation into the Mayor's doings, nope.
Every story ever written was edited by someone else.
Not surprising at all and when the defense settles for $5 million...
the weasel Mayor will be looking for a scapegoat.
Blame the police, end of story.
(Fade to black)
Don't worry CFD is next you know shit will hit us next. Those boys all cross paths at 35th street. Lots going on at Cfd which is ready to hit.
This is just another bullshit slant piece from scum times. Everyone should know better than to listen to these ratings whores and liberal lapdogs. By all means finish the inestigation and put out another article. Wont be all that exciting because nothing was done wrong. Tom resigned because he moved south onto better things but of course slum times makes it sound like he was running away.
"Corp Counsel Steps in Shit"
Heh...
More like slips in shit and breaks a leg...
If it were a Copper stepping in the exact same shit,
the Feebs would be all in his ass like cheap toilet paper
before Rahm could finish his obligatory "We wholeheartedly
welcome federal rooting around in the officer's panty drawer."
You know not a single City Hall lawyer takes self initiated action.
It ALL comes from Patton via Rahm...
We hope DOJ grins up both their asses with hot, bright lights...
JM is a solid attorney. Very sharp, and very pro police. Definitely known as one of the better litigators down at their office, and someone you wanted handling your case- has helped out more than a few coppers I know. I'm definitely reserving judgement on this one. I'm sure there's more to the story, but as usual us coppers are quick to throw mud. Hang in there JM, things have a funny way of working out.....
Remember that what you read in a newspaper, or online news article, only contains at the most five percent of the truth.
The "mainstream media" manipulates the truth both by what it says, and what it leaves out or doesn't say.
No need to file a complaint with the ARDC. The Judge has already done as has the Corporation Counsel's office. Both are required by law to do so.
Jill has to be shaking in her boots about this...
The evidence was turned over during the course of the trial, not prior to it. Ask the officers how great the victory was that was earned in court as they sweat possible perjury charges
Anyone could file a complaint with the attorney review board to repeal their law licenses. Helloooooo FOP
+++++++++++++++++++
Hey dump F@ck he was defending cops!
Corp counsel is on OUR side. Stop making judgements until we have all of the facts regarding the case. Both of the lawyers mentioned are good guys and excellent lawyers. For a little they make they do put in extra hours for no extra pay. Many of them believe in what we do. Don't drink the kool-aid by accepting some liberal mass media non sense. Wait for the facts.

Thank you. Sometimes the voice of reason gets lost in all the mass hysteria.
@Anon 1/06/2016 0711: ...and attorneys always follow the rules, right? So, I made doubly sure.
Corp Counsel says they will take a look at the 30 pending cases Marsh was involved in and not the cases already settled/ closed.
"Retired now, but was once represented by Corp. Counsel."
Who fucking cares if your retired????
Jordan Marsh was a great attorney. Worked very hard for us (Police) as his clients. I am willing to give him the benefit of the doubt as the media is not known for accurate reporting and there is truly always more to the story. How quick everyone is to judge. He was on our side and not suing police, but rather working hard to keep us from damages and losses.
There is more to this story I don't see if there was some discovery about with holding evidence just right before trial started then why did the trial continue, the JUDGE along with prosecuting lawyers for bad guys could have intervened and the case would've been a mistrial and got another date to retry the case without any findings...theres more to this case like every other case the media carefully syncs into their stories for their benefit. And these 2 lawyers for the city are 2 of the most honest guys you'll meet with the firm. Good luck to you guys!
Don't really blame you coppers for wanting to see lawyers,
media people and politicians to join you in being burned
at the stake.
Truth be told, it's a fire lit by your mayor.
He should be afraid some of his young whiz-kid
aides getting sucked into the updraft and getting burned
to a crisp.
It'll be funny when the wrong people start getting hurt
An spilling the beans in Rahm's doings.

--------
I have read it. This judge, appointed by Obama at the ripe age of 38/39 with nothing too exceptional in his background, hails from the safety of Northbrook, a nice quiet suburb, passes judgement. The attorneys, by the judge's own opinion, didn't understand fully how the zones work. This doesn't take into account that the one partner could have switched zones after hearing a chase on zone 8 and heard another call of shots fired and associated the two thusly, as specifically mentioned by the judge. Judge Chang himself also submits a personal opinion, which is really a ruling since he is attempting to implicate the defendants (officers) by saying they escalated the situation by exiting their vehicles and approaching aggressively and with their guns drawn. He then says the passenger, Coyle, "falls out of the vehicle," causing an "injury" to officer S's partner's hand. The driver, pine, accelerates the vehicle after crashing into a pole attempting to flee. The judge is saying that the officers aggressiveness caused pine to flee, nearly striking the officers. So then, the judge clearly is not happy the defendants won the case and is retaliating, his own "opinion" is rife with his displeasure. Who "falls" out of a vehicle? Another cover-up by the judge.
Jordan was NOT in possession of said evidence. Reasonable efforts were made to obtain evidence (911 calls) but he was told evidence was eventually recovered and in the possession of a CPD SGT. Jordan learned of this via a telephone call while on a recess for the case. How does he know this evidence is actually 100% in relation to the case prior to listening? He doesn't! He tells the court and is asked when he learned of this. He replies "a couple days ago." Jordan himself volunteering corrected himself, without request, to the court in the beginning of one of the days, saying 'I reviewed my records and I must tell you I believe it wasn't a couple days ago but seven." He had an honest mental recollection and corrected himself to the best of his deliberated recollection. This has been blown up into a shitstorm of nonsense.
These judges are political appointees. The above are but a few examples that, to me, represent a totally hostile nature against law enforcement and anyone attempting to defend them. The message sent being, "do not respect laws or law enforcement, unless you are in my court, in which case, behave. However, feel free to engage in any reckless conduct, even when confronted by LEOs. At the end of the day, I was appointed by Obama and I got your back."
Keep slamming Corporation Counsel, it's not like they have your back or anything, right? Keep placing your confidence in lower-than-sewage defense attorneys. Keep believing in a court system where judges act above the law, thinking themselves worthy of near divine rule and who rule based in line with the likings of their political masters.
Stay fetal. We are caught in a rapidly devolving society more akin to the twilight zone
federal judges tend to be very circumspect and quite lenient with attorneys. if the judge is mad enough about what this guy did to censure him in some way, he probably earned it.
judges do not like being lied to, and they like it even less when they are misled about something by a quibbling attorney. they have to be able to trust that when an attorney makes statements regarding something like this that it is 100% true, and not some quibbling to try and make their case look better than it is.
Today I received a letter from the ARDC that an inquiry into Jordan Marsh's misconduct has been opened under file #2015-IN-042227, after filing a public interest complaint.
Today the ARDC advised the Marsh investigation "...has been referred to a panel of the Inquiry Board of the Commission. It is the duty of the panel to determine whether there is sufficient evidence for the filing of a complaint or petition with the Hearing Board".
Wonder who will complain about the "excessive" due process given lawyers...
*** Update ***
On or about July 21st, 2016, the ARDC Administrator has filed a complaint with the Hearing Board against Marsh (2016PR00073), listing counts of a) Dishonesty to a tribunal by omission of material Information and obstruction of evidence, and b) Dishonesty and obstruction of evidence.
*** Update ***
The ARDC has suspended Marsh's law license for 90 days, starting Oct. 13, 2017. According to ARDC records, Marsh admitted wrongdoing, cooperated fully with the ARDC investigation, and is well spoken of by attorneys and judges who consider Marsh's action as an unfortunate blot on an otherwise distinguished career.
