Why didn't they sue the cops?


If there was ever a case where two wrongly-accused people needed to sue a corrupt police department and DA's office, THIS is the case!

It is absolutely fightening how politicians can screw up your life and there isn't a damned thing you can do about it.

Because the DA in question was Richard Daley. Son of mob boss/past mayor of Chicago. Furthermore, he was soon elected as mayor himself. You don't sue a Daley in Chicago.

i grew up in that town, it's very small townish....no experienced cop's,
although afew had alotta time in, the cop's were seen as revenue agents instead of real police....they may had to call in the sheriff's office to handle the case.
