    Chicago Cops Took Clothes Off Dead Body of DUI Victim Young Woman, Took Pictures

    Chicago Cops Took Clothes Off Dead Body of DUI Victim Young Woman, Took Pictures

    Jessica Mejia, 20, was killed in the early morning hours of Dec. 31, 2009, while riding in a Mercedes driven by her ex-boyfriend, who was drunk when he crashed into a pole. The car rolled over in a ditch near 147th Street and Oak Park Avenue in unincorporated Cook County.

    Now her family is filing a lawsuit and alleging that the Cook County Sheriff’s Office improperly removed the clothing from Jessica’s body and took roadside nude photographs after an accident is scheduled for trial next Monday, court records show.

    The lawsuit, filed in late 2010 by Mejia’s mother, Christina Mejia, and other relatives, alleges that responding sheriff’s officers removed Mejia’s clothes in violation of the department’s own rules and took multiple nude photographs of her body. It alleges that the sheriff’s office intentionally caused emotional distress to Mejia’s family by shooting the photos.

    Don Perry, the attorney representing Mejia’s family, said the sheriff’s office was wrong to photograph Mejia at the scene.

    “This was a young lady that just died and was treated with less dignity than a deer carcass you find on the side of the road,” Perry said.

    Cara Smith, a spokeswoman for the sheriff, said the department acted appropriately to try and preserve evidence that later helped convict Nicholas Sord, the driver whose actions led to Mejia’s death.

    “The family suffered an unimaginable loss, and the crime scene photos were taken as our officers investigated this crime and were instrumental in securing a conviction against the person responsible for this tragic death,” Smith said. “In no way were these photos intended to cause harm to the family.”

    But Christina Mejia said she feels that the sheriff’s officers didn’t fulfill their responsibility to serve the public that night.

    “I don’t feel protected,” said Mejia, who fought back tears during an interview. “I feel violated.”

    Christina Mejia said she’s suing the sheriff’s office to help clear her daughter’s name. In the south suburbs, she said, many people believe the accident was caused by Jessica Mejia straddling Sord, which is not what happened.

    But by stripping her daughter at the scene, Mejia said, sheriff’s officers contributed to that perception.

    “(People) think my daughter died from having sex, not from somebody being drunk and killing her. Because they took these photos, by the time everybody else got to the scene, all the ambulances and everybody else, she was partially naked because they made her naked,” Mejia said. “So the rumors, and the allegations … they made it believable.”

    When the lawsuit was first filed, the sheriff’s office denied it had taken naked photos of the young woman at the scene. Smith, who was not with the sheriff’s office at the time, acknowledged the photos were taken but said it’s “standard operating procedure” to photograph crime scenes.

    The pictures, shown to the Tribune by Mejia’s attorney, show the young woman’s body was moved after the accident. One set of photos shows Mejia, lifeless, in the back seat of the vehicle: She is wearing jeans, a white T-shirt and high heels.

    Other shots show her on a tarp on the ground, naked except for her lower undergarment.

    “To see the way my daughter’s body was handled, at the scene, was so confusing and so disturbing,” Mejia said. “I just didn’t understand why they did that.”


    Perry, Mejia’s attorney, said the sheriff’s office shouldn’t have taken the photographs on the side of the road. Smith said the sheriff’s deputies were just doing their job and added that harming the Mejia family “couldn’t be further from the intention of the men and women of the sheriff’s office.”

    Mejia’s lawsuit isn’t about money, Perry said, but rather is about “the truth coming out and clearing her daughter’s name.”

    Christina Mejia said she would like an apology and the knowledge that other victims won’t be treated like Jessica.

    “I don’t want this to happen again,” Mejia said.

    Sord pleaded guilty last fall to drunken driving and was sentenced to 56 months in prison. He had a blood alcohol content of 0.236 at the time of the accident, about three times the legal limit.

    Sord is the son of Bryan Sord, a prominent south suburban developer and restaurateur.

    Mejia was a junior in psychology at the University of Illinois at Chicago when she died. Christina Mejia described her daughter as an outgoing woman who would make friends with everyone, from freshmen to nerds.

    After her daughter died, Christina Mejia made a card with Jessica’s picture on it to give out.

    “People put it in their cars, and they say, ‘She’s my angel, she protects me,'” Mejia said.

    The trial is expected to begin April 27.

    “(People) think my daughter died from having sex,"
    Well I hope she died during sex, there are many worse ways to go.......


    Now the sick and $#@!ed up kops who strip and photograph a corpse need to be neutered before being turned over to the family....

    I can honestly say that I've never heard the removal of clothes at the scene of a crime by L.E.O.'s is S.O.P. This would be within the purview of the coroners office and conducted in the autopsy room. These are sick f*cks that need to be jailed then driven from their community with a big scarlet letter branded to their foreheads.

    This could be as presented, but i seriously doubt it.

    try this scenario: cops arrive at scene and encounter 2 trauma victims in a car wrapped around a tree one apparently straddling the others lap, both alive but messed up. The patients are separated and clothing is removed in order to assess and provide trauma care on scene. she dies on the scene and it becomes a homicide so crime scene photo's are taken of her body.

    a lot of cops are emt's and it's unlikely any photography was done before ems got on scene.

    hints:
    no mention is made of her BAC.
    mention is made of her straddling her bf on his lap.
    she wasn't sexually posed
    pants removed, panties not - consistent with trauma care.

    normally, with that kind of an accident the un-restrained passenger would have been ejected through the windshield... Well, airbags... Not enough info here.

    this scenario works if resuscitation efforts were attempted on scene.

    You DO know that cops rarely even perform CPR let alone advanced medical procedures? "A lot of cops are EMT's." LMAO? Who you trying to play, son?
    The first thing I was taught when performing CPR was pants removal. BWahahaha!

    Yeah, they actually are. I think some areas offer bonus pay to get and maintain that certification.

    Also I said trauma care, NOT CPR! Lets say you break a leg in an accident and a sharp bone end nicks an artery - you can bleed out into your leg and you'd want to loose the pants to see where to apply direct pressure or apply a tourniquet. Depending on the pants, you might want to loose them to do an abdominal exam. You can bleed out there too. you would want to remove at least part of them just to apply a splint. you might want to remove them to get a life line (IV) in them and there isn't enough BP to give you a good line into their arm.

    your knowledge of trauma care is really shining today.

    here is another hint: she was wearing high heals. That means the pants were cut off her. who carries trauma shears? Medics do!

    A - airway. It's got to be intact or O2 fan't feed the brain
    B - breathing. same. sometimes you have to do this for them.
    C - Circulation. The heart needs to be beating or have this done for it, but before that is making sure you are not loosing blood because it does no good to oxygenate and circulate the blood if there isn't any to circulate the O2

    Basically in trauma, controlling bleeding is the #1 priority.

    They are very medically proficient. They do forced blood draws all the time.

    Yeah well first the goons said they DID NOT take pictures, then later they admitted they DID. Sounds like they knew what they did was wrong (even by goon standards) but were hoping no one would follow up on their first denial. Article says the first photo's show her in the back seat with clothes on. Others show her on the ground naked. How is this "preserving" evidence anyway? An autopsy by a licensed medical examiner will provide all photos needed as well as a REAL report about all injuries. What did they expect to change on her corpse between the scene and the morgue??

    Unlike cops, or cop apologists, I'm actually proficient in basic trauma care. And have provided it. I've actually saved a life. So bloviate all you wish. If there is a femur fracture in one leg it doesn't mean you take the whole pants off. To do so is wasting time. You cut the pants up the leg that is fractured. Nor do you need to totally remove the shirt and bra. Shut the $#@! up. Your ignorance is showing.

    Well good for you Phill. Diff schools have different protocols. Whatever.

    This story is all over the place with many variations. One even said he ran her over.

    She died Jan 1 2010 and the first mention of pictures is in late 2012. btw: the mom is suing EVERYONE. The guy, the guys family, the bars where they drank and the cops. Only the pics story is news now and that didn't exist at the time of the guys trial.

    Anyway, the cops trial starts next week, so lets sit back and see if said pics actually exist.

    Has anyone considered that if she is actually naked in any pics, that that might have been the first pic? Weird that they would dress her, but no weirder that they would undress her. We just don't know.

    Wait and see

    If everything is on the up-and-up you don't first come out and deny that photos were taken. These photos would be evidence and would be logged as such. There would be no need to deny them because they are police record. Believe what you want. I am not that naive.
