Obstructing Justice

The Contrarian has another well written piece up, this time looking back at the disaster that was Crimesha, and the lasting damage she managed to inflict on the Cook County "justice" system:

• When Kim Foxx announced she would not present herself for re-election as Cook County State’s Attorney at an April 25, 2023, address to the City Club of Chicago, cheering erupted among Assistant State’s Attorneys (ASAs) in Criminal Prosecutions Bureau offices across Cook County. The bit of festive cheer engulfing the offices, however, was short lived: ASAs soberly realized Foxx’s decision to step down came some 19 months before the end of her term.

  In the months since she delivered her remarks at City Club outlining her accomplishments as prosecutor — the spinning of a historic but deeply flawed two-terms — Foxx, to the exception of several high-profile crimes and Big Gulpgate, largely avoided publicity. However, after a lengthy absence from her downtown office, Foxx reemerged from her Flossmoor home in the final days of her term and returned to the George Dunne building regularly to make herself available for laureling by Chicago’s slavish media for legacy-building interviews.

  Now that the curtain has fallen on her two terms, it's an appropriate a time to examine the damage Foxx inflicted on the office and Chicago in her eight years serving as State’s Attorney.

The article is a bit lengthy and covers all sorts of Crimesha scandals, from discontinuing programs that worked, illegally rewriting laws, manufacturing issues to release killers and shady backroom deals with Juicy Smollett.

As usual, go read it all.
