Busy day in Mordor today.

I haven't even found out if anybody's dogs got shot by cops last night yet.


More records indicate that inmate was in jail when 1992 double murder occurred

The Illinois attorney general's office has opened an in-depth examination of how Cook County prosecutors have handled the trial and nearly two decades of appeals in a controversial 1992 double murder case that sent a teenager to prison for life, even though records showed he was in a Chicago police lockup when the crime occurred, according to court documents and interviews.

You would have thought that it would be hard to break that alibi.

Prosecutors at trial were Thomas Needham — who became a top aide to former Mayor Richard Daley, then a top Police Department lawyer and now is in private practice — and Jeanne Bischoff, who is still in the prosecutors' office.

Anyone want to lay a bet whether criminal charges will be forthcoming or that anyone will loose their job over this. The main problem with this case is that if Jeanne Bischoff was complicit in this case then there would be many convictions that could be questioned. So my guess is that they will set him free but not find the prosecutors office guilty of any negligence.
