Illinois Circular Firing Squad Team Boob of the Day
J-Ry himself!
Capitol Fax reports J-Ry is whining that Blago is making the Nicarico case political. I’ll just quote the rich rest of the story.
Jim Ryan accused Rod Blagojevich not long ago of using the Nicarico murder case for political purposes. But this is not the first time the rape and murder of 10-year-old Jeanine Nicarico has been used in a campaign. The first time was way back in 1984, when a young DuPage County lawyer was vying to be the next state’s attorney. The young lawyer repeatedly blasted the incumbent state’s attorney for making no progress in the case. The young lawyer’s name? Jim Ryan. The incumbent, Michael Fitzsimmons, was under so much political pressure from Jim Ryan that he pushed for a grand jury indictment of Rolando Cruz and two others just days before the primary election, even though the lead investigator on the case with the DuPage County Sheriff’s office thought the three men were not involved in the crime. Years later, Cruz and the others were found innocent, freed from prison and paid over $3 million in restitution.
1984 and this boob and Birkett (the other boob) can’t own up to their mistakes.
