More Crimesha Corruption

Not only a crappy prosecutor, but a vengeful "rhymes with witch" who only used her office to push her agenda:

• When prosecutors dropped criminal charges this week against an Oak Lawn police officer accused of using excessive force to arrest a 17-year-old boy, it was the latest in a growing list of victories for cops accused of wrongdoing by the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office.

  “After a thorough review, we concluded that the evidence is insufficient to meet our burden of proof beyond a reasonable doubt to move forward with the prosecution of this case,” the state’s attorney’s office said in a written statement.

  CWBChicago reported Thursday that Illinois State Police documents showed prosecutors rushed to get a grand jury indictment of Oak Lawn Police Officer Patrick O’Donnell just one day before the state police were scheduled to conduct a comprehensive review of O’Donnell’s case to determine if the agency supported criminal charges.

  In one report, an ISP investigator wrote that “not discussing [an] investigation with [ISP’s Public Integrity Task Force] before charging an officer has never happened in the last 20 years of PITF investigations.”

  Retired Riverside Police Chief Tom Weitzel called the decision to prosecute O’Donnell “outrageous and unprecedented in my experience as a police officer.” “The fact [former Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx] chose not to follow the investigators’ advice suggests that she had made her decision before the investigation was complete, effectively using her investigators to justify her conclusion,” said Weitzel. “Moreover, the involvement of her investigators [in securing the grand jury indictment] raises concerns about a potential conflict of interest.”

Pretty much all of her malfeasance can be traced to her progressive political master and a need to avenge her perceived wrongs from her miserable upbringing in Cabrini Green. She was never qualified to hold office nor practice law.
