The nephew of former Chicago Mayor Richard Daley was indicted Monday for involuntary manslaughter in the 2004 death of a 21-year-old man outside a Chicago bar, and a grand jury is continuing its inquiry into whether authorities covered up or impeded an investigation of a relative of the city's most powerful man. Richard Vanecko, 38, was indicted by a Cook County special grand jury in the death of David Koschman of Mount Prospect. Koschman died days after he fell and struck his head during a fight with Vanecko outside a bar in Chicago's Gold Coast neighborhood.

The Kennedy family gene must have got loose in the Daley family, no surprise.

I was just reading some interesting “facts” about Chicago in 2012.

The murder rate, as we all know, is at an all-time high.

But that number is skewed because medical assistance has been so incredible at saving lives.

The real number we should look at is the number of aggravated assaults. This number tells you more about homocide attempts than the actual death count.

Chicago 2012 aggravated assaults —— 10,000

Liberal utopia indeed.

Do you have a link to the article you were reading or did you pull the facts and make the connections yourself?

The release also included that Koschman was 5-foot-5 and 125 pounds, while Vanecko, then 29, was 6-foot-3 and 230 pounds.

And there were fifty witnesses...

Nine years ago. That’s some swift justice, Chicago-style.

Small man syndrome. Mutual combat. Most DA’s won't take it.

Apparently Rahm refused to cover-up for the ape-like family members of 42-Short!

Not sure what you mean but the "small man" was the one who died.

The data takes some digging. The source is the Wall Street Journal article, but you have to be subscribed to read it. I will also link to another article that talks about the WSJ article.
