Guilty Verdict
A Cook County jury on Monday convicted Steven Montano of first-degree murder for killing Chicago Police Officer Andres Vasquez Lasso two years ago on a Gage Park playground.
After a weeklong trial, jurors arrived at the verdict in less than two hours.
The swift guilty verdict, which comes over two years after the officer’s death, has brought “some level of justice” to the Vasquez Lasso family, Chicago police Supt. Larry Snelling told reporters Monday.
“We lost an officer; they lost a family member, we lost a family member.” Snelling said, standing in front of the Vasquez Lasso family Monday.
“When we think about Andres Vasquez Lasso, here was a person who went out to do good, to protect others, to keep the city safe, and lost his life doing this. His life was taken away from it from someone who just did not care that he was taking a family member away. "
We'll have a bit more to say in our midnight posting.

Coming from someone who was at the hospital with Andres’ mother, in the ER with Andres, stood on the pavement where Andres took his final breath, and watched the BWC all I have to say is GO FUCK YOURSELF you piece of shit scumbag drug dealing/gang banging cop killer. One more thing, his defense was he was scared of the police. That’s exactly what all these assholes say when they don’t want to get out of the car after being ordered to do so. Fuck all of them too.
THANK GOD! THANK GOD! THANK GOD!
