Preib Ties Up Some Loose Ends

This is some pretty good investigative journalism:

• As lawyers for an indicted Chicago Police Commander pore over a large body of evidence that could undermine criminal charges against their client, the question arises whether this commander has been placed in the crosshairs of the city’s wrongful conviction machine.
  
  Commander Glenn Evans was stripped of his police powers last year after he was indicted on charges that in 2013 he put a gun in the mouth of a suspect, gang banger Ricky Williams, and threatened Williams’ life. It was a narrative that took Evans out of the high regard he has enjoyed for cleaning up some of the worst neighborhoods in the city—including political support all the way up to the superintendent and mayor’s office—and put him in the sordid company of cops accused of the worst abuse, like former Commander Jon Burge and his men, cops accused of torturing suspects for decades.
  
  The criminal case against Evans generated a frenzy by the media, particularly those with a history of supporting wrongful conviction claims, like public radio station WBEZ.

And why would Evans be in the crosshairs of the wrongful conviction assholes?

• Evans wrote the case report on  Madison Hobley, the arson mass murderer who Governor Ryan pardoned without once looking at the evidence that had convicted him.

Impeaching Evans today means that everything in his career would be suspect, including the case report and follow-up report Evans made 30 years ago that led detectives to Madison Hobley.

We can't recall any other media people coming up with this information, and given the outright lies that they have been caught in for years regarding the release of a lot of very guilty people, we can see them actively covering up things like this.
