That mfer should be glad he ended up in Danbury; nicknamed "Club Fed" it's notorious as the soft option when it comes to doing time in the feds. Martha Stewart did her stretch there as did Leona Helmsley and Piper Kerman of "Orange is the New Black" fame although of course they were in the women's facility. The whole thing is a P.R. stunt anyway; three years for murder and he'll be out in 18 months probably, even less if he didn't get bail (although I seem to remember he did). But they can still point and say "Look, we sent him to prison". Chicago has always had a notoriously corrupt police force. Here are links to two superb series by The Intercept on the Chicago P.D. One of the few areas that they really excel in (TI that is). https://theintercept.com/series/the-chicago-police-files/ https://theintercept.com/series/code-of-silence/ Both required reading if only to remember that there are still some real journalists about. |
