Double Murderer Charged Again
If only there were some sort of screening process that would study and determine if someone eligible for re-sentencing was actually....you know....deserving of such consideration:
Less than a year after walking free from a life sentence for a 2003 double murder — a release that came after a scandal-plagued prosecutor championed his resentencing — Dante Brown is back in jail, accused of shooting a security guard in the neck last weekend during a Near West Side.
Brown, 40, was freed in August 2024 when Judge Michael McHale cut his life term to 20 years, crediting him with time served. His resentencing was pushed by then–Conviction Review Unit chief Michelle Mbekeani, whom McHale later accused of lying in court about her ties to a private company that connected inmates seeking resentencings with defense attorneys.
Oh, it was one of those cases where Crimesha's appointees was steering cases to plaintiff attorneys?
The resentencing gained national attention after Mbekeani’s ties to a company called Period that matched inmates with defense attorneys were exposed. McHale accused her of being “duplicitous, incomplete, evasive, and untruthful” when questioned about the venture and said her conduct created an “appearance that something unethical is occurring” in Brown’s case.
In scathing remarks, McHale said Foxx “set [Mbekeani] up for failure” by allowing her to stay on the case, calling it “shocking” that she didn’t see the conflict coming.
Well then, nothing will happen.
Did they ever charge the crooked chief with any sort of financial shenanigans?
