The Trib covers another inmate who seems to be wrongfully convicted. Taylor’s case was highlighted in the amazing series of reports concerning Cops and Confessions. Taylor was in jail when the murder took place. Despite this evidence he is still in prison, though Dick Devine’s office is looking into the case.
Perhaps Chicago could lower its murder rate if it actually put the people doing the killing in prison and not some schmuck walking down the street.
Does anyone remember one of the last scenes in The Hunt for Red October? Jeffrey Pelt is wrapping up issues with the Russian Ambassador when the ambassador mentions another sub is missing. Pelt replies something like, "Ambassador, you have lost ANOTHER SUBMARINE!" and shakes his head. Pretty much the entire Cook County Attorney’s office has to feel like this every time the Trib calls.
Of course, in DuPage County they just claim they are victims of a press witchhunt.
