Extremely Slow Justice

Seven years is a long time to wait for charges:

• More than seven years after two Chicago police officers were shot while working in Back of the Yards, a second man was charged with the crime on Saturday.

  Edgar Barron, 25, was 17 years old when he allegedly shot plainclothes officers Leo Augle and Colin Ryan on May 2, 2017. On Saturday afternoon, Judge Deidre Dyer ordered Barron detained pending trial on two counts of attempted murder. Court records show he has never been charged with any other crime in Cook County.

  “Great news!” Ald. Ray Lopez (15th) tweeted Sunday. “I’m glad the judge detained him so he can’t run back to Mexico again.”

The accomplice (driver) got five years and walked out - time served - a few years ago.

This asshole (shooter) has supposedly been back from his "holiday" for a few years.
