Judge Gets it Correct
- In a stunning decision, a Cook County judge on Thursday acquitted three Chicago police officers of all charges alleging they lied in police reports and conspired to cover up the controversial 2014 police shooting of 17-year-old Laquan McDonald.
The case has been seen as a referendum on a so-called code of silence within the Chicago Police Department designed to protect fellow officers from accountability for wrongdoing.
In her hourlong ruling, Associate Judge Domenica Stephenson blasted the evidence presented by prosecutors as weak, speculative and totally lacking proof of any crime.
Detectives document what they are told by witnesses. Witnesses - especially in a dynamic, fast moving, widespread scene - have different perspectives (they weren't all standing behind the same camera), and documenting those different perspectives is neither a conspiracy nor a code of anything.
- Attorney Todd Pugh, who also represented Walsh, slammed the prosecution evidence.
“They say a grand jury will indict a ham sandwich, and that’s what happened in this case,” he said.
“This case is about perspective,” Pugh said. “It wasn’t about a video that was shot and reviewed hundreds and hundreds of times days later. It was about what people saw on the scene at that moment, and no video captured the perspective of the police officers in this case.”
Somewhere between five and ten exempt members reviewed all of the same evidence this judge did and ruled the shooting justified...before political pressure turned it into a football.

I knew the officers were going to be acquitted (I wish I could search and find what post I posted under that said they were going to be acquitted when the dog and pony show started) That whole case was about administrative procedures possibly being violated which should not have led to criminal charges. Good for the officers!!!

These AS(Ses)As are worth shit... trying getting a job in a real lawfirm
Heh...
"Tha Communerty," is angry and calling
for "Justice" to be done.
Just you wait...
"Tha Communerty" will NOT be denied their
revenge against The Police.
Afterall...
"Retributive Justice" against The Police and
the laws of "da witeman" is what "Cabrini Kim" Foxx
ran on.
You know... Since her work/performance history
is as thin as piss on the sidewalk on an August
day in Chicago.
Thank you Judge.
Oh boy just wait until tomorrow and the Van Dyke sentencing. Some people are NOT going to be happy!
The big difference here is these three Officers had real attorneys, not like the VanDyke trial. They had Tom Breen, Pugh, McKay and so on. The best in the city...
This is not a stunning decision
"Judge Gets It Correct"
Rule of Law and Rules of Evidence
still somehow managed to apply here
in Chicago.
And the white-guilt addled progressive liberal democrat
Alinskyite SJWs, the perpetually aggrieved black racialists
and their local media editorial board handmaidens are very
loudly bemoaning that fact.
"You Cops got away with it THIS time but..."
No... A bunch of people witnessing an event and
yet a bunch of people can be marched to the gallows
and hanged according to the Chicago Model of Retributive
Justice for daring to differ in how they describe having
witnessed the event in question.
This "Police Conspiracy" nonsense was nothing more
than a diversionary tactic to "prove" the case for
"Police Reform."
Without this... The progressives and "Tha Communerty"
will have to desperately latch on to something else
to "prove" their case.
JVD deserves a new trial because the first one
was such a shameful sham seeing as how Rahm,
McLawEnforcementGypsy, Steak-Head Ed and the rest of
the exempts were allowed to avoid being made
to sit in the hard and uncomfortable chair
of examination for multiples of hours.
Amen.
I hope everyone who is happy with this verdict, and sadly I know it is not all of us, will now help support "Minnie". She is going to (and already has) come under attack from the real racists of this city, the black activists. It made me sick to hear them on the news tonight, several of them, all calling for investigations into the Judge because things did not go their way. They sure were happy when things went their way several weeks ago - and not a peep came from anyone on "our" side. We accepted it, noted it and STILL went out and did the job.
Sadly, I can not recall one news report about how Gaughan treated JVD, especially the BS when JVD's family was threatened, or anyone calling for press conferences to denounce VG. Clearly, in my mind and from what my eyes saw and ears heard, VG talked down to everyone that would, could or was supporting JVD's case... I have no doubt that tomorrow morning we will hear about JVD getting 20-30 years, unheard of for ANY other offender in the Cook County Court System with similar charges, but after today V. Gaughan will make sure he has those Black Activist's backs and JVD will be crucified.
To be clear, I am not trying to make a judgment on the guilt or innocence of JVD, that has been down - I am just saying that I have no doubt in my mind the verdict will be severe and not reasonable or similar to anyone else charged with similar charges of 2nd Degree Murder & Aggravated Battery, you can bet on it. There will be hell to pay for those 3 political pawn cops being charged and found not guilty - or the people and folks will riot.
Funny thing, these same Black Activists, the ones we never see on the news when dude is killing dude at a record pace, well these same folks, or people, they are the ones who are now taking on a renewed interest in the R. Kelly fiasco. Yet, not one, not one dammed report, article, story or blurb about who was the Judge who presided over that sexual predator and pedophile case.... Why?
So when they come and bitch, protest and try to destroy Judge Domenica Minnie Stephenson's character I hope that my family in Blue will step up and send a Tweet response, a letter to the Editor, make a phone call to a news station or radio station, and support Minnie. I know I will.
Finally, just because I am on a rant and my alcohol has not stopped me from putting fingers to the keyboard yet, will Susan Mendoza be working as hard, or even harder, on stopping that Code of Silence that DOES exist in City Hall. I mean, at least as much as she will work hard on the "perceived" Code of Silence on the CPD. Surly Susan and Toni both knew for years about Ed Burke and his penchant for accepting bribes and payoffs to get passed around to the "upper class" people. Yet they remained silent on it. Why? Guilt by association, maybe? Better yet, I am certain it is because it was and is guilt by action - they both had their hands in Ed's pockets and good graces because they both though that old prick would never be caught.

1st Watch
"If you want to keep a secret, don't tell the boss"
You could see that one of those guys (it may have been Walsh, I don’t know any of them) made a very brief statement. You could see he wanted to unload, but he didn’t. I felt his frustration as I watched it.
I’m glad you guys won. It should’ve never happened though. Best wishes for all three.,
I’d like to see Kim fox, phleger, rahm emmanuel, judge gauhan, and the 12 jurors on JVD’s trial try to take someone like laquan mcdonald into custody. We pay police to control the uncontrollable and sometimes they have to use deadly force to do so. JVD is guilty of being a police officer, a good shot, and white. It was a good shoot. He was sacrificed for politics and social justice bullshit.
This Judge nailed it! She was perfect in articulating each and every point. It’s too bad Van Dyke went to a jury. Juries rule on emotion not the law. Hopefully his judge will read what she wrote and give him minimal time. Of course the haters aren’t happy now will the court.
These three officers snatched aggressive attorneys immediately. That was what Van Dyke needed. You cannot have a passive attorney represent cpd. And most important - NEVER use a former cop who became a attorney. They are the worst.
The blame had to stop so where and it stopped with Justin. If the detectives had gotten convicted, why not the exempt? I just hope everyone (detectives and the detective sergeant) get their jobs back. Congrats Dave!
"Somewhere between five and ten exempt members reviewed all of the same evidence this judge did and ruled the shooting justified...before political pressure turned it into a football."
But they were part of the vast "conspiracy", though oddly, none of them were indicted.

Good
Now watch all the political whores claim foul and let the written correspondences come out of each office of those running for mayor claiming how the system is rigged. A system they currently work for and have worked for , for many years. Watch Chico and Mendoza, and Preckwinkie and the rest of the garbage pails go ape shit
The judicial system did its job and because its a verdict that they're not happy with they claim foul. They want it both ways, to bad you cant have it both ways.
time to move on with your lives gentlemen.

And then the twerp murder mayor along with his politcally paid, rugby lackey from new york tried to deep six it from the press and prying eyes so he may be re-elected a second term to bilk even more money from the taxpayers and enrich his friends and family again...
“In a stunning decision” proclaims the first line in the newspaper article. Stunning to who? The judge took a great deal of time to review all the evidence and apply the law(something the Van Dyke jury did not do) and came to the only lawful decision a reasonable person could come to.
Uh oh. Some folks gonna act up like spoiled children over this.
Hopefully, this will discredit Carol Moron's Legend of Laquan McDonald.
Retired .38 spl +P
Temper your joy. You have made omen very powerful enemies with this ruling. They will be out to get you at any and every opportunity to even the score. Walk softly and be very fetal. This was not a vindication on proactive policing. The judge essentially said the prosecution were fools and this will not sit well with Kim and friends. Fetal is the order of the day, month and year.
Remember that Karma is a bitch. In this case that bitch is a pissed off Kimm. She will be planning an aggressive program to jam up any and all CPD as a result of this verdict. Be extra careful and extra fetal. Slow roll and do paper only. No stops no chases and of course no shooting.
McDonald’s sister, Tariana, said the judge’s finding has not changed her mind that the officers tried to cover up what happened to her older brother.
“I am truly hurt,” the 18-year-old wrote in her first public comments. “Words couldn’t explain how hurt I still am. ... Not only did I lose a brother, I lost my best friend.
You should pick better friends, girl.
Your all about to see Karma being a bitch at the JVD sentencing. He is now toast and any hope of a seasonable sentence went out the window with this verdict. Why do you think they delayed the sentencing. This was plan B for the prosecution.
Not surprised, a guilty verdict would only mean that they’d have to go after the big fish. They don’t want to go after the big fish.
Judge Stephenson married my wife and me. She is a good person.
Chico Lighfoot and Mendoza can all go kick rocks. They’re making my vote for mayor easier.
Joe Walsh resigned. He was not terminated. Can he get his job back?
Time to send Rahm’s Emanuel to trail for His vide if silence in this entire charade...
Brave judge doing the right thing and clearly detailing in her findings The legal and factual basis for her ruling. Of course the usual preachers and politicians want her investigated because they say the court is now corrupt. Nothing more then a lynch mob. Oh wait you can’t use the word lynch. It’s racist. And if the police just stood around and let McDonald continue in his rampage and kill someone, then your criticized for not doing your job. Preachers, go investigate your parishioners and your community and you will find not only the real code of silence but the root cause of the violence in Chicago. No family supervision, gangs, drugs etc. but then again your church baskets may go empty because we are not dumb enough to believe you don’t sleep with the gangs. Why else won’t you cooperate with the police investigations when one of you children is a victim of gang violence. The real code of silence is all yours.
Thank you Judge Stephenson for doing your job. We need more judges like you.
Did some say cha ching!!
I am not sure I would like my attorney referring to me as a ham sandwich, but a great decision anyway.
Unfortunately, JVD will probably be the recipient of the "make up call" to satisfy the "community" and the media today. Expect a harsh sentence
So can my kids hang out in the station until checkoff?
The one man left who would bend.... O V......is still here.
And the one person who called Sup McCarthy.... K D.
May the rest of the exempts souls burn. They deserve it.
Now a retrial JVD
The judge seems to be one of the few people left in this county with any common sense. She laid the blame right where it belonged, at the feet of laquan mcdonald. High on horse tranquilizer(pcp), committing multiple felonies against civilians and uniformed peace officers. Yeah, she saw right thru the smoke screen.
Still, fuck you to all the CPD Brass who jumped ship unscathed. You know who you are. You are all fucking pathetic. Cunts.
Say a prayer for Jason....
So three Officers, a bench trial and experienced trail lawyers result in a not guilty. Too bad JVD did not get the same advice. I truly feel as though a proper defense would have resulted in a not guilty for JVD. JVD should have never went jury trial, the jury had him “convicted of SOMETHING” even before the trial started, they even said so in their post trial interviews. To not realize this is a huge mistake that may cost JVD his life.
thank you god.........
I have a bad feeling that Gaughn is going to hammer JVD today during sentencing in light of the correct ruling on the three officers by the judge yesterday.
I just hope the Rogers Park duckwalk/dark complected killer doesn't start whacking white innocents like he did when he assassinated those two in order to influence the Jury, and scare them, into finding Van Dyke guilty. We can only hope. BTW whatever happened to that worthless bag of guts that started all this trouble by saying the kid wasn't threatening with a knife? You can see him holding the knife in the fucking video.
Now lock up ALL THE JAGOFFS that are going to PROTEST the decision starting on Saturday . Fuck these Low Information Voters !
AMEN. AMEN. AMEN.
Thoughts and prayers for JVD, his wife and children.
Thoughts and prayers for the ISP.
All the principals that this country was built upon are gone.
Judge gave a great explanation of why she ruled the way she did. Hour long!
Susana A. Mendoza posted that she is disappointed and
heartbroken.........imagine how worse it get if she becomes
mayor.....i can’t imagine a bigger shit storm.
Since they were found not guilty . The other officers should be released from the witch hunt
Just think if the judge was Republican, the Ghetto monsters would be marching with Jesse leading them and they would be torching everything in sight.
Love how McDonalds "family" and "supporters" crawl out from under their rocks when the TV cameras let them play victim.
Where was their concern for him when he was alive?
Community outrage. Mayoral candidate outrage. Except where is it for the thousands of gunshot victims and hundreds of homicide victims of color in Chicago in a typical year?
SCC : I might have missed something , but none of the Exempts who signed off on the shooting as good were not put on the stand at JVD's trial. Why?
I hope they sue the fuck out of everyone for everything.
I"m would LOVE to see JVD sentenced to time served!
Please pray for JVD today.
How much tax payer money did Special prosecutor Patricia Brown Holmes spend to leave no stone unturned in this case? Do you think such effort will go to investigate Ed Burke and his extorting law practice that the city council new about for 40 years and did nothing?

Too bad Dan Herbert Esq. didn't go with a bench trial and not a jury, a competent judge would have found JVD not guilty and justified, the same as Judge Stephenson found these officers, read her ruling...
I hope the three acquitted officers sue the shit out of the “special prosecutor”.
There was no case here.... it was all racial, political bullshit.
Kudos to the judge for seeing right through it and calling it like it is.
Sadly, for every Minnie Stephenson in that building there’s four Carol Howards. This city and county has been swirling the bowl for years. Holt, Claps, the bag lady in juvy court with the wig that sleeps during your testimony, Rivkin-Carrothers, Lampkin etc.
Meh.
Yeah? The “community” can kiss my saggy 55-year-old nut sack

Good judge. Is really all about the law with no bias. This is the same judge that close eyed detective despised and always talks shit about
Why are all of the bias, prejudice, favoritism, cronyism, incompetence and racist allegations made at the judge after there is a "not guilty"verdict?
Remember "if it doesn't fit you must acquit"
Thank god. The right result.
The exempts who viewed the tape...who Got Together and viewed the tape agiain and again...whose only concern was how to keep their jobs and continue their ascent ...should be held accountable. They formulated their reports thinking only of themselves, couched in keeping the video away from the public to avoid unrest
The big difference here is these three Officers had real attorneys, not like the VanDyke trial. They had Tom Breen, Pugh, McKay and so on. The best in the city...

Not sure how you can say that. The judge pretty much gave Herbert's closing argument as her verdict, though that shit did not play in front of a jury. The difference is bench or jury, and who the judge is. And lawyers only take a bench trial when they know the judge will acquit. Has ANY lawyer EVER lost a bench trial for a CPD police officer in the last 20 years? I don't think so. How can that be? Someone might want to ask Herbert and JVD why they did not take a bench trial. If Herbert had these guys judge, JVD would have walked.
Funny that Preckwinkle's paid commercial attributes her calling out the previous state's atty. for "not doing her job". Wonder how she views the present states atty. who ignores crime, hates the police and does NOT represent the people of the state of IL, creating new victims mainly among people of color while mouthing the talking point there are "too many people of color in jail" so let's ignore their crimes! Dumb sheet!
Could somebody explain how VanDyke got charged with 16 separate counts of aggravated battery, how is this treated as 16 separate incidents?
hope this decision will help out Sgt Franko and the other officers that the city is trying to fire on administrative issues.
But in the court of constituent opionn...and it is Prickwrinkle County.
It has to be a blow to her bias momentum and especially her recent tv commercials.
Where is she going to make up the difference?
Total lynch mob attitude coming from the protesters. Shame on them. It was a fair trial, accept the verdict.
The operation push lady, on WFLD morning news this morning strongly disagreed.
sterling bay dumbed eddie burke law firm great news
Mendoza ginning up the community should be a sure sign for police. Any copper that votes for her is a fool. Work against her. I dont see any candidate who will not whore to the community
It's worth noting that the "not the same perspective as the camera" argument didn't work for Van Dyke but it worked in this case. I hope this bodes well for Jason's sentencing today or appeals on his behalf in the future.
Seems like the only ones from the McDonald family beefing are the ones that didn't crawl out of the woodwork fast enough to glom onto the 5 million the City bought them off with.

Pay attention here, they are not ASA’s; they are Special Prosecutors appointed by Judge Martin. They actually are highly paid lawyers from large law firms in the city. It is too bad that we as Police Officers don’t actually pay attention to what is going on.
CLTV brought on Michael Oppenheimer during a cut in the hearing, pretty much stated Van Dyke Is a racist. Any CPD officer still doing work in this city needs their head examined. Pure screw job and the media in Chicago is playing right allow with it. Once again CPD you have no friends in Chicago!
JVD gets less than 18 years. You heard it here first.
That assclown Steve Chappy Chapman in the Tribune called this a win for the code of silence...

and get away from the shithole that is Chicago and law enforcement. What a shitty career.
What's fair is fair, remember it's not what you know, it's what you can prove. The judge said there was NO EVIDENCE that showed or proved that these officers were trying to cover up anything in this case.Sure proved that this awesome judge was not intimidated by those McDonald fans or phoney ass politicians. Job well done! Best of luck to these officers.
Reverend uncle never said his nephew would tell All young men to stay away from drugs, crime , never threaten anyone with a knife and to obey police officers. Suicide by cop ?
State’s attorneys can kiss my ass after the bullshit display they are putting on at van dyke’s trial today. Putting complete pieces of shit on the stand who are only there to make van dyke look racist. I hope one day I get to lock up a State’s attorney and do the same to them.
Some reverends feel breaking into trucks , threatening security,police with a knife , failing to obey police commands to stop , drop knife while on drugs is turning his life around . Said it all with a straight face
BTW ... Cook County ASAs has nothing to do with prosecution. It was handled by “real attorneys “ . The only CCSAO tie was the judge.
For the hard-charging who are suffering from ignorance: Once again, answer assigned jobs and respond. Take only the required and necessary action. That is all. Become ignorant of what proactive means.
Anyone believe the reverend failed nephew
Why didn’t he raise child m find a loving family from his congregation to raise his nephew , that was a drug user, committed crimes ?
Why was his nephew tossed around from foster home to. Foster home .
Why didn’t nephew drop the knife
Would it have too much of a stretch to provide VanDyke suitable attire to wear in court for his sentencing?
Just stop. It was the right decision. But the prosecutors were not from the Cook County’s states Attirneys Office. They were appointed special prosecutors. Just like the Van dyke prosecutors were special prosecutors and not part of the CCSAO.

I thought she of all people would have realized that the community of color still won’t vote for her. I’m guessing she now lost more than she tried to gain. Maybe she will have more time to play tough girl on the soccer field

Did he allow the thug around his church , family ?
Terrible , but kid was abandoned by his family , foster family ,criminal justice system and mental health system .

WOW... I stand corrected, I was wrong. 6.75 years is not bad for JVD.
What this trial truly exposes, is how your “fellow officers”, “brothers in blue” etc are the biggest threat and buddy fuckers you’ll encounter on this job. The dolts we call coworkers will be your downfall, and not just the bosses.
I find it humorous that the special prosecution team consisting of Ms Brown Holmes and Mr Ron Safer lost this case. Both are former us attorneys. She was a states attorney and a circuit court judge for 9 years. HA HA HA HA HA - YOU BOTH SUCK! (hope they took this case just for the money because they didn't do their job very well)!
Great new for 2nd day in a row. VanDyke gets 81 months. Still hoping on appeal he wins and serves no time. Only has to serve 50% less time served

———————————————————-
What weren’t they called to testify?
JVD receives 81 months, that's about 6.75 years, day for good day , out in 3.5 years !!!!
The State's Attorneys today are all from other coutnies -mostly Kane county and one from Winnebago. JVD was well served by Darren O'Brien, who has a brilliant command of the law. Judge Gaughn adopted Darren's arguments and sentenced only on the 2nd degree. JVD will likely be out before the appeal is done, which Darren and his partner are handing. By the way, JVD would be out with time served if Herbet had asked for him to be on electronic monitoring. He should have looked down the road and at least have seen this as a possiblity.
Don't do anything. Don't be the next JVD.
Judge Vaughn made mostly the best out of a bad situation with the JVD sentence.
Unfortunately he didn’t get probation but he’ll be back with his family in about 3 years.
THANK YOU, Judge Domenica Stephenson, I hope all the first responders of this city remember to vote for your retention.
I have noticed that the media has been awfully silent about Laquan McDonald's cousin Jemel Roberson shooting due to the fact that the whole family seems to have a problem following police direction!

I’m betting he gets just under 7 years. You heard it hear first.
And just about all of the mayoral candidates are out there saying that JVD should have gotten a lot more time for "murdering that poor young black child".....only McStreetlights said the judge decided, let the city heal......even Vallas decried the "light sentence for murder".....
That " poor young child " was a throw-away kid, like most of the criminals that are out there creating murder and mayhem.......where was the Rev back then? Did he ever take the kid in? Sure he read a letter from the dead kid.....he hardly knew LM, he couldn't speak of any personal knowledge..... And did da momma ever (even once) show up at the trial? This kid had 8,700 pages of DCFS history......that's his whole life even as short as it was.....so why did Momma get the 6 million?
My brothers and sisters in blue.....HEED THIS MESSAGE that this city and law and order is DONE......the SJW faction has won......answer your calls, protect each other out there, and start to take some college courses, get a degree in something else, and GET THE PHUCK off this job......
Every boss that signed off and Mayor Raham Emmanuel and McCarthy and E.Johnson should give that family 10% of there monthly earnings until Jason is released. You guys dodged a bullet and left this family in the lurches. Do the right thing and Wright a check...it can be anon...but do it...
Friend of the Police Vallas?? Look at his statement disagreeing with the Van Dyke sentence, stating he should have gotten more time. Typical bullshit politician, he has lost twice and he will lose again. McCarthy had the most positive statement of all the candidates, has my vote. Also Vallas has come out in favor of affordable housing citywide (Section 8). Don’t be fooled he is a typical liberal and anti Union.
If the comments made by Preckwinkle, Mendoza, Lightfoot and unfortunately Vallas in the last 24 hours don't make you realize that they are ALL beholding to the "community" values, then you are idiots. Like him or not, McCarthy is the ONLY chance we have of ever resurrecting the once proud CPD (and maintaining our pensions). He may be an arrogant jerk, but an arrogant jerk is what we need right now to fend off these "Machine" alderman and these fake "Revruns"
Herbert is an absolute moron. Way in over his head in goofy suits.
Lots of exempts and others who signed off on the reports were advised to take the 5th. The State found out and none of them got called.
Still pissed that none of the bosses on the police dept were called to testify for JVD case. Every man for himself-remember that.

Would it have too much of a stretch to provide VanDyke suitable attire to wear in court for his sentencing?

My thoughts exactly.

They don't let you change into or wear a suit if you are already in custody

I believe it has to do with being convicted, not being in custody. I’ve seen plenty of prisoners who were in custody because they couldn’t make bond or held without bond appear in court with civilian clothes Theory is you are presumed innocent until convicted so if you are wearing jail outfits at trial it could be viewed as prejudicial

If the comments made by Preckwinkle, Mendoza, Lightfoot and unfortunately Vallas in the last 24 hours don't make you realize that they are ALL beholding to the "community" values, then you are idiots. Like him or not, McCarthy is the ONLY chance we have of ever resurrecting the once proud CPD (and maintaining our pensions). He may be an arrogant jerk, but an arrogant jerk is what we need right now to fend off these "Machine" alderman and these fake "Revruns"

McCarthy also states he would not have forced the two detective division supervisors,Sgt Gallagher and Lt Wojwk to design or retire
I find it humorous that the special prosecution team consisting of Ms Brown Holmes and Mr Ron Safer lost this case. Both are former us attorneys. She was a states attorney and a circuit court judge for 9 years. HA HA HA HA HA - YOU BOTH SUCK! (hope they took this case just for the money because they didn't do their job very well)!

Holmes wasn’t impressive. After a day or so she let Safer handle most of the case.

Friend of the Police Vallas?? Look at his statement disagreeing with the Van Dyke sentence, stating he should have gotten more time. Typical bullshit politician, he has lost twice and he will lose again. McCarthy had the most positive statement of all the candidates, has my vote. Also Vallas has come out in favor of affordable housing citywide (Section 8). Don’t be fooled he is a typical liberal and anti Union.
Are you contradicting the guy that constantly makes the comments the Vallas is the only candidate and that he is pro police and has a kid that’s a police officer, although he is not CPD. Keeps stating he’s from a police family and will take care of us. Hopefully he will quit making all those posts
The shithead convicted of killing Hadiya Pendleton was in a suit last week at his sentencing hearing.
very good news.

Kid works in Mayberry, suddenly Vallas is going to correct all the problems at CPD. Section 8 gets him some votes, saying Van Dyke deserved a much harsher sentence gets him some votes, hell say 3 cops shouldn’t have been charged based on that evidence, that walks the line, gets you a few more votes. Typical politician. Joyce or Chico, only 2 choices.
Kid got Mayberry handed to him because Daddy knows Obummer and now he will get CFD handed to him too. Typical politician family, scamming the masses for votes but really no different from typical crook county chicago politicians.
