"Unusual Step"
- In a highly unorthodox move, the Illinois attorney general’s office is “reviewing” former Chicago police Officer Jason Van Dyke’s relatively lenient prison sentence, a spokeswoman for the office said Thursday.
“We are going to do a careful review of the record and the law and make a determination based on our review,” spokeswoman Maura Possley said in an email.
Possley declined to elaborate on what exactly the office is examining, but legal experts told the Tribune the attorney general might be considering whether to petition the Illinois Supreme Court to order the trial judge to sentence Van Dyke again — only under tougher guidelines this time.
The defense team had agreed to forgo an appeal based on the length of sentence - which is exactly in line with hundreds of other sentences handed down by the courts for similar convictions for similar charges with similar backgrounds. But the opportunity to waste taxpayer money for political purposes may prove to be too big a draw for the assorted bad actors currently occupying political office.

Why don't they review all these alderassholes and their wrongdoings?!?!?
Kwame Datool is a hater.
Kwame brings an entirely new level of incompetence to at AG Office. With Kwame and Lil’ Kim, you can expect the very worst. By the way, as I was typing “Kwame”, the autocorrect kept changing it to “Jeanne”, and then “Keanu”. He’s so irrelevant that autocorrect doesn’t even know.
Make a determination of what exactly? It’s Cook County. Sentences are light - if you stick around on electronic monitoring long enough to be sentenced at all.
Maybe Judge Burke will review it...
The same Supreme Court where the wife of a federally indicted aldermen sits? A justice, by the way, who never practiced trial law. Sure...why not. Fuck you Illinois!
Too bad Lisa is not still here.
She never saw shit.
Resentence JVD?
Then how about looking at every sentence out of the Cook County courts in the last few years.
Start with the woman that got PROBATION for dropping a baby 8 floors to its death.
Kwame will go down as being worse than any AG in the history of the state. That will be his accomplishment.
Hey why not? perhaps Bob Mueller can wrap up his circus surrounding the fake Russian connection and swing by Chiraq and waste local tax payers dollars to see if Judge Gaughan colluded with the Van Dyke Defense team.
Someday i'll party at Kwame's grave too. By then JB will have legalized pot and I won't have hangovers from all my graveyard partying!!
I'm confused, didn't the judge ask the prosecution if they were okay with the sentence handed out and they agreed it was sufficient?
Is this the same Attorney General's office that can't find a crooked politician in Illinois?
Yet another reason to be glad Hilary was not elected.
You know JVD would be up on federal civil rights charges now if she was Pres.
How about malfeasance for a SA who makes her own rules against prosecuting cases for distinct violations of illinois statutes: i.e., murder by accountability, felony theft for those that qualify as a felony based on the value of the item stolen, and a host of other statutes that she selectively chooses not to prosecute because she doesn't believe the law is just. Didn't she take an oath of office? Isn't she supposed to uphold the constitution and laws of the land? Maybe Kwame should look at our SA.

That was immediately after the sentencing. The political winds started to blow right after with some calling for an investigation later that night. The "community" is not happy, the mayoral candidates are not happy. Expect it to happen
Just wondering who told him to do this since he has never had an original thought. Then he was gutless enough to send a spokesperson instead of doing it himself?
This case is all about race and politics! Make no mistake about it.
He do whatever Soros tells him...
If anyone was listening on election night Kwame basically said he was going to do what he is doing now. It was obvious to me as a listener that he intended to right the wrongs of the past. I’d expect that this is just the start. Just as Rauner had a crusade against unions I feel Kwame will be obsessed with righting everything he thinks is unfair.
Political showmanship. You mean this leftist politician who is masquerading as Chief Law Enforcement Officer for the State of Illinois is going to waste our state resources on this? With all the political corruption that has transpired under Lisa Madigans nose, this joke of a AG decides to pursue this. Hope your happy with where your vote went.
Keep voting for these democrats. Disgrace.
Calling total bullshit on Kwame the Commie.
Welcome to the new era of JB Fatboy. And God help us if Pricktinkle gets into office.
"Reviewing" is the operative word. Got the results you want I guess. Sick!
If I could afford to do it, I'd retire tomorrow. You'd like for every cop in Illinois to turn in their badge and give these assholes the society they want. One that's so litigious and second-guessing that NOBODY wants to stand up and defend it.
Fuck you Kwami.
You’re playing racial politics
Ah, special treatment for the po-po by the beloved constituents of this arm-pit of a state ... Illinois. How about you review ALL the murder convictions in Illinois since say 1972 and make sure EVERYONE was adequately punished?
So if blacks commit 70% of the murders in Chicago and they are 33% of the population, and the clearance rate is 10%, and the actual charging rate is 5%, then who exactly is getting away with murder here?
Kwame - he's "just getting started"
What’s Lisa doing now? Wearing a wire too? She stopped her career as a safe toy tester way before her prime.
Now if that isn’t starting to look racist I don’t know what is.
On one hand, we have set a precedent in this county/state of being lenient in sentencing for murder. One the other hand, we also have what I will call the Cozzi double "jeopardy" standard for LEO's. When the community is not satisfied with justice, they refer to anyone else who doesn't have the Balls to make a stand for what is the right thing to do. I still cringe when they call LQM a victim in the news. I call him a named offender in a case report.
I sincerely pray for JVD and his family to put this Media Circus Nightmare behind them in the near future.
Obama lite is a hater.
Pure theatre from Kwame. His office has no standing in the case. Any success in his phony review/appeal would be just more theatre.
Hey Kwame, have any long chats with your buddy Solis lately? Tick tock...

Kwame Raoul is about "tha communerty's" revenge,
errr... business. That's why this unprecedented
sentencing review is taking place.
The Police are going to be rubbed up against
all kinds of "Justice" from here on out.
"Fair Trial" and even "Mercy" in the slightest
are nowhere in the cards for any Policeman
unfortunate enough to get himself tangled up
in the Illinois court system.
It's all about settling scores and putting the
"new equality" in place when it comes to Law
Enforcement having misfortunately close proximity
with "tha' communerty."
Cooler heads WILL NOT be allowed to prevail.
Police Like You Have No Friends.
Kwame and Prickwinkle are anti police like Foxx. Pure haters and race baiters. Due your research Illinois law changed 2016 regarding raising the age to 18 for juveniles charged with violent crime. ie: Vehicular Hijacking and Armed Robbery. Hence, these crimes have tripled since..fact. What did you say Kwame and Toni ...Too many brown and black kids were not getting a fair shake... Tell that to all the victims who are traumatized. Pandering hipocrits.
How much time did Vanecko do for killing Koschmann? 60 days in jail?
And he really did it and got away with it for years.
Funny how that sentence wasn't reviewed.
Remember the FOP has endorsed this piece of s..t more tha once.
this is straight out of the dummy democrats playbook 101 appease the dummies for political gain-FOX did it and now its his turn!
just railroad the guy over & over again.. wtf. Hasn’t his family gone through enough. He has no prior arrest or conviction. So officers think about the next time a boss request ISR activity.
get the shovels the criminal enterprise the Illinois democratic party which mind you is listed as the most corrupt in the entire country, our elected criminals rival third world banana republics with their criminal actions!

Unfortunately it doesn’t work that way. She was elected as the ASA and has the discretion as to what cases to prosecute and which ones not to. Also, she decides if there is enough evidence to charge. Wish it wasn’t that way
kwame just another hack who wants crime to skyrocket, lets give him and toni and the rest what they want, let the community sort it out, stop being proactive unless you want to be the next copper to lose everything,as the exempts and the white shirts drink that wine,eat that cheese and pay their "tax" to the elected to get and keep that easy spot!
Does racist Kwame practice Kimmie’s “restorative justice”?
The deck is hugely stacked against Caucasian police officers.
So Crummy FooEL doesn’t like the out come. Well Mr FooEL, too bad. Just another POS politician wasting taxpayer money and using the dead “kid” for politicsl gain.
This is a pile of shit that's beyond extra stinky.
IF the AG can allege some kind of wrong doing on the part of the Judge - then FILE CHARGES against the Judge. File a complaint with the Licensing Board for Judges.
But the Prosecutors and the Defense negotiated something in good faith, the Judge signed off on what they negotiated - just like 100000 other plea agreements have done, and that's that.
They don't like it now? Fuck them. Welcome to that little thing called the CONSTITUTION where they don't get to try someone twice for the same crime. Double Jeopardy and all that...
But then again, this is IL, Crook County, and Chiraq so those pesky constitutional things don't mean shit to liberals....
How long until we can bring back tarring and feathering? Or the gallows on the public square for corrupt politicians?
just curious. if fox and kwame the salami were to go to jail where do you think the feds would send them? id like to jog by the prison and wave every day while they were in the exercise yard playing avoid the shank. hope its not that cold assed one in minnesota? any federal prisons in the keys? now that would be fun!
I am praying for JVD and his family. The poor souls do not derserve this shit from these sadistic assholes.

You’re lucky he took the 60 days just to get it over with. Otherwise he would have been found not guilty. It was a shit case and would never have been charged otherwise
Kwame Da'stool
Remember to dick Daley before he dicks you.........
Different rules for different folks.

Lets open up some criminal cases investigations and cases that Lisa Madigan and Anita Alvarez failed to, or neglected to investigate.
Reopen the " Girl X" case that made Anita Alvarez a superstar.
LaQuan’s great uncle “demanded” that Kwame get involved.
