Evans Out?

Where the heck did this come from?

  • Timothy Evans, the longtime Chief Judge of the Circuit Court of Cook County, lost his re-election bid on Wednesday to Circuit Judge Charles Beach. The vote, Evans’ office said, was 144 to 109 with one spoiled ballot.

    Evans, who has led the county’s courts since September 2001, will be replaced by Beach, a judge who served for years in the Pretrial Division and oversaw initial hearings for defendants newly charged with crimes.

    The Chief Judge is elected every three years by a vote of the circuit’s judges. A source who was present for Wednesday’s balloting said another contender, Judge Nichole Patton, dropped out and threw her support behind Beach.

So almost a year ago, we had a non-Prickwrinkle candidate win the States Attorney spot.

Now, we have Prickwrinkle's handpicked Chief Judge launched by the circuit judges?

  • Have the wheels come off the Prickwrinkle machine? 
  • Is Beach going to revamp the rules that Evans upended concerning bail? 
  • Does O'Neill Burke have a judicial ally in the ongoing battle to regain control of the justice system fighting against the "just us" people (or folks)? 
  • Is Dart going to have to reopen parts of the jail that he shuttered? 

And lastly, if Prickwrinkle is losing her grip, Conehead is in real trouble. He might be in line for another nervous breakdown.

Evans went to John Marshall Law School, which was considered a lower ranking school. His success came from the Dem. Machine. He is 82 yrs old. Like Burke, Madigan, Vrdolyak and Toni P. he just didn’t know when to leave.

Beach was a defence attorney before being appointed to the bench. He also made a statement that Dart is in charge of the court rooms in reference to ICE coming in to arrest illegal's. and he will also follow the unsafety act. In other words Evans 2.0. Next case !

Why did the Chief Clown Prince of the Crook County judiciary get dumped by the Black Robes. It couldn't be because of reform. No, we all know that Crook County is not ready for reform. Maybe the judicial mob needed a new boss in order to continue the "Big Lie" of providing social justice to the community at the expense of the rest of the county residents.

A community outreach worker in Mayor Brandon Johnson’s press office has been suspended without pay for ten days for claiming that conservative activist Charlie Kirk “got what he wished for” when he was gunned down on a college campus in Utah.

“I’m not mourning a racist, bigoted, xenophobic clown like him who hated me and mine,” Johnson press aide Anton P. Adkins wrote this week on his personal Facebook account.

“But, I understand there’s a majority culture that someone of yall [sic] desire to please and are fooled into think his passion of Christianity wasn’t more than ensure his check got cleare

It's sad to see how some of our African American co-workers are on social media trying to say the shooter was MAGA because his parents were possibly republican and his dad was in law enforcement. A 22 yr old can form his own political decisions. (Except if you're a liberal his brain is not fully formed and he does not know right from wrong.) (Except libs say its ok to mutilate yourself at 15 because you are gender confused.) We all have had that relative who has gone their own way even in a conservative household. It also happens in Liberal households where the kids reject the liberal philosophy. Please stop trying to blame conservatives. We did not burn your cities in 2020/2021. We did not attack Police Officers. And for those who call Jan 6th a "insurrection" a real insurrection has armed people trying to take over, not what happened and the capitol Police let them in. The only death was from a capital Lt who shot an unarmed woman who, at the worst, was committing criminal damage to property and trespass. Jan 6th was nothing compared to the liberal summer of love of 2020 where millions of dollars were burned and looted across the country and multiple people injured, some killed. I, in part, blame B Hussein O for his decisive rhetoric and pitting white against black. It's sad to see the divide and hatred in this country. Unfortunately a lot of politicians make money on the divide and grab power that way.
