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?

This is the type of story that you’d see in a movie and say that the story is bull shit. That’s how bizarre this region has become. Total lawlessness.

It’s kind of like paying a political lawyer a fee to get your taxes lowered?

Write some letters to liberal Judge McHale...let him know how unsatisfied Cook County is with his galactically stupid decision. How the public was endangered by his release of this convict.
Or nothing will ever change.
Except that things have gotten worse...and living here is way more expensive.
I'm in my 50's and ready to retire and nothing has changed. Over the years I have written a few letters...Its time to pass the torch.

Wouldn't it be refreshing if the person that advocates for a criminal's early release would have to assume the same / any confinement, with the criminal, when the criminal is sentenced for any future crime? Sort of like parental responsibility for a criminal, or adopt a criminal. And no early release without an advocate. Repeal good time discounts as well.

The law abiding citizens, residents, visitors, etc., abide by the laws essentially based upon that law which is the foundational law of any civilized society, aka, the Golden Rule. The only laws requiring enforcements to seek compliances are those in effective conflict with the Golden Rule.

And then, there are the ones, citizens, residents, visitors, etc., to whom their golden rule is, whoever has the gold, rules. Their compliances with those laws consistent with the OG/old school Golden Rule must be enforced vigorously, to at the least impede the rascals activities.

So, not lawless here, only the ongoing efforts to cripple the enforcements upon those who will not respect and honor the Golden Rule of civilized societies.

So, you lay down a trail of discontent, hopefully choosing the most abrasive paper stock, so when they wipe their asses with your letter, it hurts?

About the only cure for Chicago, I fear, is for the Federal government to put it under martial law and lock up the entire corrupt city government, from the Mayor down to the dogcatchers.

That would not be good because the Police are above the dog catcher, right?
