After seeing the video, it took a whole year to decide to indict?.............or did the GJ take forever?.........................
They had to wait until Rahmbo was safely re-elected first.
To truly understand what happened in this case, you have to have a deep appreciation for the level of corruption that exists in Chicago.
Keep in mind the following facts:
1. McDonald was shot during an election year in which black voters were (seemingly...) revolting against Rahm Emmanuel and threatening to vote for his opponent, the equally incompetent, inept and corrupt Chuy Garcia.
2. In order to keep Ferguson, MO from breaking out on Chicago's streets, Emmanuel and his supporters (mainly Emmanuel) really wanted to cover this incident up. So, a $5mm payout was ordered to be paid to McDonald's family without ever stepping into court and litigating the case.
If that's not a clear-cut sign by itself that the "fix was in" to cover this thing up and keep it quiet to Emmanuel would win re-election --- someone needs to tell me exactly what this is then.
A political cover-up by any other name, is still a political cover-up. Especially when it involves $5,000,000 of hush money to be paid without ever, EVER seeing the light of day in a court-house.
