Murder Trial Opens Today
Jury selected Monday, opening arguments expected today:
The jury has been selected in the trial of a man accused of killing a Chicago police officer.
Steven Montano is charged with first-degree murder in the death of Chicago police Officer Andrés Vásquez Lasso. Prosecutors say Montano shot and killed Vasquez Lasso in March of 2023.
Officers were responding to a domestic disturbance call at Montano's home in the 5200-block of South Spaulding in Gage Park. There was a 911 call about a man with a gun chasing a woman down the street. Officers pursued someone, and Vásquez Lasso was shot.
Vásquez Lasso was with the CPD for five years.
If you're at the Court Building, stop by and show some support for the family. We don't have a room number at the moment but we're sure it'll be available at the Assembly Room and in our comment section shortly.

These trials need to be publicly televised for the shut ins of this planet.
Room 700
It wasn't that long ago that stuff like that would never happen in Gage Park.
700 is one of the big rooms.
TWENTY-SIX MONTHS to bring this piece of shit to trial?
That's a crime in and of itself.
It was kind of “long ago”. A few decades at least.
Hopefully justice is served properly.

do worry when mamdani is elected mayor he will wanton/willingly wreck new york city it reminfs me of a scene from the michael douglas mivie "wall street"
The quote "Why do you need to wreck this company? Because it's wreckable." is from the movie Wall Street, spoken by the character Gordon Gekko, played by Michael Douglas. This line encapsulates Gekko's ruthless, amoral attitude towards business and finance, prioritizing profit and potential destruction over ethical considerations.
Criminal defense attorneys tend to stall at all costs when the state of paying them for the defense. Cook county voters (Dems) have a short memory. By the time this trial starts few jurors will remember the tragic events of this murder.
yep,,,, thanks to diversification and illegal immigration things change for the worse
The judge ruled some of the bwc video was too graphic to show. Meaning it would prejudice the jury to see this piece of shit shooting directly at Andrés on his bwc. They really are just for fucking U.S. over.
Thank you all who showed up and continue to show up💙
