Crimesha Pissed Herself

The Root Beer Trial concluded a few days ago and we barely heard a peep about it. Seems the media is still covering for Crimesha's political abuse of her office (summarized from the CWB report):

• William Swetz, the man accused of backing his pickup toward former Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx and throwing a Big Gulp of root beer in her face during a roadside confrontation, quietly went on trial last month in Markham. The two-day bench trial was held before Judge Tiana Blakely, with the Illinois Attorney General’s Office prosecuting Swetz on felony counts of aggravated assault with a motor vehicle and aggravated battery in a public place.

  [...] The case stems from a June 2024 confrontation near Foxx’s home in Flossmoor. Then still in office, Foxx was out for a morning walk around 10:30 a.m. when Swetz drove by in his GMC pickup.

  Foxx, who was walking along the edge of the roadway instead of the sidewalk, told police that Swetz yelled, “Get the f**** off the road b****!” She responded by flipping him off. Swetz allegedly drove a short distance, then threw his truck into reverse, zigzagging toward her in the opposite lane and forcing her to jump onto the curb to avoid being hit. When he stopped, the two exchanged more words before Swetz allegedly hurled the contents of his Big Gulp cup in her face.

  [...] Assistant Public Defender Michael Herzog, an attorney supervisor in the Felony Trial Division, saw things differently. He called it “a regrettable incident but noncriminal encounter between my client and a uniquely empowered complaining witness.” Herzog and co-counsel Colleen Gorman argued that the case was treated differently because of who the complainant was. “We’re looking… at a misdemeanor elevated for inappropriate reasons,” Herzog said.

Of course it was elevated for inappropriate reasons. What we had here was two assholes running across each other, except one was a legally incompetent (but politically powerful) Soros-funded DEI hire with the usual sense of entitlement that comes with being able to physically abuse her husband and get away with it. 

There's also zero video evidence of any of what Crimesha alleges, essentially he said/she said, none of which rose to the level of a felony (according to eight years of Crimesha not charging thousands of criminals.) Oh the irony!

But the BIG revelation at trial:

• Herzog questioned whether Foxx was truly horrified during the incident.

  “At the time of him backing his vehicle up to you, you were not in fact afraid for your physical safety?” he asked.

  Foxx replied she “was absolutely afraid for my physical safety. I was horrified.”

  “You never told the police that, correct?”

  “I described to the police what happened. I didn’t tell the police that I wet my pants, but I’ll tell you,” she revealed.

Nothing like a last-second addition to her story in an attempt to sway the bench trial her way.

Swetz is likely going to be found guilty of something - this is still Cook County and the connected take care of their own. Crimesha still has ambitions for another election, so the system will work in her favor.
