Another Coverup?
It makes democrats look bad, so yeah, it's a coverup:
A Cook County judge on Friday ordered factual documents sealed in the highly-scrutinized case of a man accused of killing 11-year-old Jayden Perkins and injuring his pregnant mother in a stabbing in their Edgewater apartment.
Crosetti Brand, 37, who has a documented history of violence against women, is charged with murder, attempted murder and other felonies in a March attack he allegedly perpetrated just one day after he was released from prison where he was sent after threatening Jayden’s mother weeks earlier. The killing spurred grief and outrage in the community and raised questions about safeguards for domestic violence victims and the Illinois Prisoner Review Board’s handling of Brand’s release.
Judge Angela Petrone took the unusual step of sealing documents that contain “factual allegations or summaries” in a case of such high interest to the public, ruling that there are “limited circumstances” that overrule the public’s right to access information about court cases.
No there aren't "limited circumstances." This was a Grade A f#$% up by the Parole Board, the Fata$$ appointees, Crimesha's office and a few others.
And now, there's Judge Petrone running cover for the party of criminals.
UPDATE: Our opinion is our opinion and we haven't been shy about it after living here our entire lives:
- There is not one single 100% honest judge in all of Cook County and not one single judge worth a retention vote.
Operation Greylord proved that, and the only reason that ever got shut down was the feds (who could barely be trusted back then) couldn't stop catching crooked lawyers, cops, clerks, and judges, with a politician tossed in for good measure. The trials took ten years and we remember a bunch of them. We also remember, Gambat, Safebet and Silver Shovel having their origins in the Cook County system.
You want to defend Petrone, fine. Good for you. Glad she had a successful career.
But she has to play politics, too. And we haven't been shy about that either.

Don't worry this safe t act is just getting warned up. It's been about a year since its started. Give it a few more years. Democrats kill & rape a lot of people non stop. This story will happen again & again. Til they'll repeal it, but over the bodies of lot of dead innocent women & children.
Always remember. The ones who scream the loudest about Black Lives Matter are the ones who allowed this to happen.
"High interest to the public," bullshit!
Nobody cares - it’s not part of the agenda . Next story !
My understanding is that the prosecution requested the documents be sealed in order to prevent the defense from claiming jurors were biased by reports of Brand's prior criminal acts. It seems like the right thing to do in order to prevent the asshole getting off through some loophole. Not a big fan of most judges, but this doesn't seem like the usual Cook County cover-up. A quick look at her history seems to suggest she likes to keep criminals locked up when they file their bullshit appeals. I'd let this one play out before condemning the judge. If it is a cover-up attempt, blame the State's Attorney's office for requesting the documents be sealed.
Crook fucking county🖕🏼
As the weaponize judiciary serial witchhunt expands to "Trump may have doubled dipped on his tax write offs for Trump Tower in Chicago" and "Trump Tower may have violated epa rules regarding the river water used to cool the building"
Third world banana republic shit.
Shhhhh
Speak No evil, see no evil hear no evil of the Democrat Marxists
The first rule of the weaponised judicial system is to not speak about the weaponised judicial system. What happens in the judges chambers stays in the judges chambers. Right?
Judges be busier than a cat covering up shit on a lineulem rug
To say that about Judge Angie Petrone, means you know nothing about her. From her days as an ASA, she has proven herself worthy of our respect.
The Chicago Cubs at in action. Stop the righteous indignation. Been going on for last 90 plus years of Democratic rule. Either stop electing crooked Democrats or leave. That’s your only two choices. You chose to live there so just STFU and move on.
The pregnant mother will still vote for these people. This will never change.
Angela Petrone was one helluva states attorney back in the day.
Judge Petrone is police friendly judge Awsome
I was in court for this. That is not what happened. Judge Petrone granted the States request to seal the documents for FOIA purposes so that it doesn’t come out before trial and prejudice the jury. Because they are sealed now, does not mean they don’t come out during trial , which will then make it public. That is all.
And if I may bring up a point, Judge Petrone is always there for us. She was up at midnight, 2 in the morning, everytime the phone rang for warrants for the murder of Officer Huesca and the manhunt for the POS that killed him.
Judge Petrone is far from a shill for the left or wanting to help cover for the Governor. Why do you think so many Defense Attorneys SOJ her so that they can go infront of another Judge?? Anyone on here, that actually goes to court knows Judge Petrone is one of the good people left.
Governor's appointments screw up and expose governor's ineptitude, seal the info.
Hide the truth and lie. The Democrats way
OT, How the hell can commiecrats stand by this ruling?
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/05/california-supreme-court-rules-people-cannot-be-detained/
Where are the women's groups on issues like this???
Oh, yeah, they are busy protesting for trans rights, and supporting causes like "gays for Palestine"
I would think issues like this would be first and foremost.
Trumps been right about everything!
Judge Angela Petrone was an incredible ASA. Smart, passionate prosecutor. Pro police.
Barking up the wrong tree as far as Judge Petrone is concerned. A great ASA and a great, police friendly Judge.
Judge Petrone was a great ASA. Also a very good judge. If
You are ever thrown under the bus and have to stand trial
You will be lucky to have her as the trier of the facts. She
Would never give you a free pass just because you’re the
Police, but you will get a fair and impartial trial. Can’t ask
For anything more than fair. Let this one play out to the
Conclusion before trashing a decent person.
Talk about important things,
Like ...Climate change and how Trump going to help Evil Pootin take Alaska back ....
Reading the comments on the blog just reinforces what I always experienced. It's ridiculous all the trash talking against each other. I'm glad I'm gone, don't miss the job at all especially the people. Maybe a handful.
Anyone who would write a smear like this against Judge Angela Petrone clearly knows nothing about Judge Petrone. She is one of the best, brightest and most ethical judges in the Criminal Courts Building. She is the farthest thing from a shill or operative for the leftists in the Cook County Democratic Party. She does her job with fairness, integrity and she follows the law. As a State's Attorney she was among the best of the best and has long been revered by police officers who have worked with her. As a judge, she is willing and able to sign warrants at any hour of the day or night. No one outworks her or is more dedicated to following the law to make Chicago and Cook County safer. And if she ordered that the records be sealed, she had a damn good reason to do it. So please save your criticism for the hundreds of softy police hating judges in Cook County because they are the ones who deserve this kind of post.
I think retracting the accusation that Judge Petrone is running cover is in order. You are, in essence, claiming she is part of the corruption. She is one of the few good and impartial judges we have left that are very police friendly. She has gone out of her way to answer her phone and make herself available, without complaint, at all hours of the night when no other judges would entertain us for warrants of a pressing nature. Anyone that knows her knows her character. It’s a damn shame to see this blog suggest she’s corrupt.
As a previous poster stated it was the case that the ASAs requested censorship of information until presented during trial to avoid a claim of prejudicial prosecution. In which case, the SAO is the requestor and the judge made a decision. SCC is usually smarter than this
This POS keeps claiming he can’t get a fair trial be issue of all the media attention. So, the less that’s available, the more he can’t claim he didn’t get a fair trial.
C Mon SCC, you could do better. You’re attacking a good friend of the Police.
As a few others have said, Judge Petrone is certainly not our enemy.
I don’t know the specifics of this case, but the poster who stated that it may be at the. Request of the CCSAO’s office might be in to something.
I know that the CCSAO has us extremely jaded, and typically judges here cannot be trusted.
I did not know her as an ASA, but through my experiences with her as a judge- she is an extremely kind person, and is an ally to have on the bench.
About one of the only judges I vote to retain.
When I read the name I couldn’t believe it, figured there had to be more to the story, that’s how much I respect her.
So let’s try not to throw mud before all the facts come out.
I met this Judge during holidays, all hours of the night to sign warrants for us. You’re going after the wrong Judge here. I think she is just trying to eliminate anything this guy says that will help him in an appeal. He is already representing himself.
This isn’t some right wing conspiracy that likes spreading on here. This was a legal move because this Offender is filing motion after motion saying he has and is being treated unfairly.
How many judges do you think are left that sign warrants for us? At all hours of the night? No matter what it’s for?
Trust me, Judge Petrone isn’t covering anything up for Fatass or the Parole board.
I’m pretty sure you won’t find a lot of Coppers to say anything bad about Judge Petrone, just Defense Attorneys.
I am no fan of Cook County, and most of their corrupt socialist judges, but judge Petrone isn’t one of them. One something big happens , like an Officer killed, she sends out a text letting us know she s available for whatever we need. The left is putting more and more judges on the bench that rule based on their hurt feelings rather than the law. We need more like Judge Petrone.
Everyone that’s sick and tired of this happening to innocent people needs to hold the soul people responsible for the endless crime. ITS DEMOCRATS! Democrats run Illinois in a super majority for decades. They make all the policies. PERIOD! Pritzker has been making laws that are very very soft on crime and very hard on us good law abiding citizens. Pritzker’s “Safety Act” was opposed by 100 out of 102 Illinois States Attorneys. Shouldn’t that raise alarm bells for Illinois democrats!!! The only two that supported it was Kim Fox and the clown who is destroying Lake County. Same thing is happening to all democrat run states. Wake up!
Judge Petrone is one of the good if not great ones left. She knows the law and makes the right decisions. There is something more to that decision than a cheap newspaper article.
It’s absolutely disgraceful and every single democrat (and Rep on the parole board) and anyone who voted for the Safe-T act, bond and so-called Justice reform has blood on their hands. Make no mistake, this isn’t the first time someone has died because of this misplaced sympathy for criminals, it’s just very heartbreaking that it happened to an 11 year old boy trying to protect his mother.
Judge Petrone is the best judge in the county
OT: Does anybody know if the consent decree monitoring team's cost comes out of CPD's budget? Because it looks like ... a lot.
https://cpdmonitoringteam.com/monthly-statements/
looks like your post backfired SCC get you facts straight
Take this down. She is a hell of a judge and one of the few that gives a shit about us. I’m normally on your side but not about this.
Judge Petrone is far from a shill for the left or wanting to help cover for the Governor. Why do you think so many Defense Attorneys SOJ her so that they can go infront of another Judge?? Anyone on here, that actually goes to court knows Judge Petrone is one of the good people left.
That is correct.
Angie Petrone is as good as they come as it pertains to ASAs (then) and judges (now) for supporting the police. To say otherwise is someone who doesn’t know a fucking thing about her.
- 1990s 011 district working police
So many things are covered up
Defense attorney here. Petrone is SOLID, lots of my colleagues SOJ her in hopes of landing in ANY other room at 26th St. You guys have no idea what you are talking about. She’s the anti-Tim Evans

A shift in perspective is being beckoned.
So far, it has not occurred in sufficient quantity to cause me to have to hire assistants.
And I do not refer to the increases in victims.
Rather, the yet to be exponential increases in dropped predators, now released to become dropped predators.
I do appreciate the restraint that keeps my overhead low.
Chalkie
That Judge is awesome! She is a great person! When I saw the title of the string I thought that you were talking about the murder of an exempt members relative.
Love you and the work you do exposing the shit show that is Chicago's criminal justice system. Yes you are entitled to your opinion but it is some weak shit to crap on a decent judge and hide behind Operation Greylord from 1984. It's occasionally OK to fuck up and have the balls to admit it.
To the people that think this judge is so great then why is she protecting Pritzker? Her being a friend to the police has nothing to do with this ruling.
As Elwood P. Dowd said and i quote "Oh, an element of conflict in any discussion is a very good thing. It shows everybody is taking part and nobody is left out. I like that.”

Bigly!
If Judge ANGELA PETRONE is so squeaky clean and a good jurist then why take the rare step of sealing records in this huge F-up of a case? Why? Why? Who is she protecting as it looks like that is the reason.
This judge taught search warrant class to a bunch of us guys who thought we were making a difference out here. You have this all wrong slamming her. She is right up there with Judge Peggy Champis as being the mostly police friendly.
The records were sealed because this POS is filing motion after motion stating that he is being treated jnfsily because of all the media attention. By sealing the files, for now, it keeps it out of the public eye. All of it will come out at trial. Do we really want to give this xxxxx another reason for an appeal?

5/12/2024 09:26:00 AM
You dont miss it but yet here you on the blog...shut up and find something to do
Petrone is good people. Must be something else behind this.
This is not unusual since these are sealed from the public but can still be entered into the transcript at trial as factual evidence. For example, there may be privacy concerns regarding medical rights of any victims and the offender. It seems to me Judge Petrone is looking further down the road to prevent the defense’s motion to appeal.
No reason to seal anything … give me a break that she is trying to solidify the case against this asshole. Case sounds like a slam dunk.
A cover up in C(r)ook County?? No.... never.....

It's been explained several times in this thread. Are you having trouble reading it? When a judge finds in favor of a motion by the prosecution, it's generally a good thing. If the prosecution asked for the records to be sealed, and the judge denied that request, and that caused the defense to have reason to appeal the eventual outcome of the case, you'd be saying the judge fucked up by fighting the prosecution's wishes.
Bull Shit about Petrone. I’ve known her for 35 years. She is a political hack. Nobody cares what she may have done “back in the day”, which wasn’t anything she didn’t have to do. Coppers keep making the mistake that ASA’s are their friends. There isn’t an ASA that approves a case because they are helping you. Dammit man, they have no choice. Well, they didn’t until Foxx came into play. Now they just out & out reject charges and gloat about it. No ASA is your friend. They never were and they never will be. May they all burn in the hell they’ve created, Cook County.
I had the privilege of working with Judge Petrone when she was an exemplary Supervisor of The State’s Attorney’s Office, and continued when she became a judge. She’s the first to answer her phone when you need a warrant or advice. She’s forgotten more about the law than most of the so-called judges. If she sealed something, there was a request to do so by the ASA. I would defend her to the wall, as would a lot of good coppers and detectives.
There is no such thing as an honest judge in Cook County. You have to kiss the ring to get elected

"generally a good thing" Yeah unless the prosecution's request is solely based on providing cover for someone politically. "trouble reading it?"...No, trouble believing it.
I have known Angela Petrone since she was a clerk at traffic court. She went on to have a stellar career and is very police friendly. Her father was a Judge and would sign our search warrants at all hours of the night and Judge Petrone is just like him. It is not fair to paint all judges with the same nasty brush. She is one of the good ones.

Yes, everything's a conspiracy. You figured it all out. I do like that you prefaced your post with "Moron said" as an acknowledgement of your status. I guess when this case comes to an end, we'll see who was right. I'd put money on myself. Watch out for those chemtrails.
Any lawyer, judge, politician, or Gold Star exempt will sell your soul to the Devil in a heartbeat.
The only one better than her was her dad. Knock on the door at 0400 and he would sign the warrant. Got this wrong guys. You need to retract and make amends.

You sir have no idea what shit you spew from your pie hole. I worked on the job in the late 60's, 70's, 80's up to the mid 90's. Tactical, Task Force and detective division in Area 4 for over 18 years, almost 15 in Violent Crimes. There were many States Attorneys where were very cooperative with the police. Never bring a bad case for review, either work harder on it or let it go as a misdemeanor.
Get you shit together, present a good case to the Felony Review ASA and have the home number of their supervisor in your file. Felony Review had a few that like to reject good cases, but their supervisors knew you and your quality of work, there was no problem in approving charges.' Mos to those new to Felony Review just cale out of 1st Municipal (misdemeanor courts). It took a few cases to gain their respect, or their bosses let them know we were not selling some bullshit case. Respect is earned both ways.
Going to Branch 66 in the morning those ASAs knew you and they reviewed the file and interviewed the victim and used the Grand Jury to further the case especially with a tender aged child. Trial assistants knew you and your reputation for bringing a good case.
For those thar remember the ASA Gang Unit and the group that put the El Rukins out of business along with other gangs. All good guys. Tom Epach, Irv Miller, Wayne Meyer, Rick Boueke, just to name a few. We were all on the same side trying to put the bad guys in jail. Oh, and I knew Angela Petrone and her father years ago. She was a good ASA and her father was a good judge. We were friends and worked together on many cases.
So to say they never were friends, you have no knowledge just spewing hate and bullshit. Easy to dismiss people and lump them into the same pile. You missed a lot during your time on the job if you feel that way. Sadly, the current members of the CPD do not have that partnership that we had.

all due respect SCC you knock it out of the park 9/10 times
this ain't one of them. there's alot about this case that's fucked up and while I understand anyone in that office isn't our friend per se I think having knowledge of this case this was the right thing to do. all will be seen after this summer.
All the negative comments are from people that don’t go to court or don’t get court orders signed regularly. If you went to court on a reg basis on more then your one rock drop case, then you would know who the good judges are. You would know who regularly signs search warrants for the Officers and Detectives. And maybe, you would understand the legal maneuvering to seal these records , which will be made public during the trial. There is no cover up, except to help the case. -SEISER
This isn’t some right wing conspiracy that likes spreading on here. This was a legal move because this Offender is filing motion after motion saying he has and is being treated unfairly.
