Chicago prosecutors to release two men wrongfully convicted of 1993 murder

First such instance of this in 30 years, as I understand it from an earlier discussion on this board.

Prosecutors seek release of men wrongfully convicted in 1993 murder

 

Police insist they did nothing wrong and got their guys.

 

Is that a link to The Onion? This story certainly can't be possible.

 

Sincere question, Dick, did you have any part in helping these men? I know you've said before that you do this kind of work.

 

I'll PM you.

 

I know I could probably Google it, so forgive me for being lazy, but the video mentioned a concerted effort to frame them. Do you have more details of what that entailed?

 

It's out there. There was a Buzzfeed story last year on it and some Sun-Times and Tribune stories through the years. I know I'm basically telling you to Google it, but I have my reasons.

 

Fair enough. I'll dig around when I have a second, while hoping a prominent poster does the service of finding/posting the links for my lazy/busy ass.

 

Slightly more info in this one:

2 men allegedly framed may be released from jail after 23 years

 

They're safer in prison than going back to 2016 Chicago.

 

It's far safer than the city they left. That's not saying much, of course.

 

Good job. You should feel rightly proud.
