Travesty

They might let this cop killer out of prison:

• A man imprisoned since 1976 in the shooting death of a Chicago police officer could be freed this year after an appellate court panel set aside his 200-year sentence as excessive and ruled that his chances for parole were unfairly denied.

  This decision comes after decades of failed appeals by Ronnie Carrasquillo, Travesty65, who was 18 in 1976 when he fired into a gang-related melee and killed Officer Terrence Loftus, who was in plainclothes, trying to break up the fight.

  In a 27-page opinion, an appellate court panel ruled that Carrasquillo should be resentenced based on changing legal precedents regarding how youthful offenders are treated and how mitigating factors, such as prison rehabilitation, are considered in sentencing.

The biggest "changing legal precedent" in recent years is the denigration of the Policing profession and political hatred of Police Officers labeling them as sub-human, unworthy of protections.

Crimesha vigorously opposed letting a cop killer go:

• ...State’s Attorney Kim Foxx told the parole board she no longer opposed his release...

Way to go Crimesha. Still the criminal's bestest friend. Busloads of coppers have made the trip downstate to oppose this shithead's release for years now. Last time, he was denied parole by an 8-to-1 vote. Hopefully that continues.
