The family of 16-year-old Derrion Albert wants to know why one of the men convicted in his murder is now free. The 16-year-old Fenger High School honors student was on the way home from school when he was caught in the middle of a gang fight and killed in 2009.
The I-Team has been looking into the Cook County State's Attorney decisions in the wake of the Jussie Smollett case and uncovered that the Cook County State's Attorney Kim Foxx decided not to pursue a stiff prison sentence for one of the attackers shortly after she took office.
Cook County Prosecutors charged four teens involved in the gang melee that led to Albert's death as adults. Three were convicted of murder at trial. One pleaded guilty. All are serving prison sentences.
But one teen - known then as "D.J." - was 14 at the time. Prosecutors say he punched Albert and knocked him down, saying that he signed "his death certificate."
Prosecutors decided to charge him as a juvenile in a special kind of case called an Extended Jurisdiction Juvenile prosecution or EJJ.
Albert's family says then-Assistant State's Attorney Kim Foxx decided to go the EJJ prosecution route and explained it to them.
"Kim Foxx kept telling us that was the best way to go, that way we have some kind of, the safety net," said Anjanette Albert, Derrion's mother. "That way if he got in trouble he goes back, that's what it is."
In 2015, 14-year-old "D.J." was now 20 year old Dionte Johnson - out of juvenile prison - arrested and charged with felony Aggravated Fleeing after a Chicago police chase. Court records obtained by the I-Team show prosecutors filed notice that they were "seeking to revoke stay of his adult sentence."

Just like Eric Holder, she’s not going to prosecute “her people”.
No harm, no foul in da'hood.
Sounds like a mental run-of-the-mill, or good Democratic Socialist Candidate for public office. He’s even too young. He is perfect.
The Democratic Party, staying true to the blood thirsty rampaging narcissistic history of all leftists in contemporary history.
She’s a hoodrat looking out for her peeps. It really is that simple.
My brother in law recently retired from the Chicago justice system. He worked with dangerous juvenile offenders, mostly gang members who would just as soon kill you as shake your hand. He said he would look into their eyes and see nothing. By the time they were the age of the “kid” who got let off as a youthful offender they were already lost. He didn’t believe in rehabilitation and he has no faith in his fellow human beings, having spent a career dealing with the worst humanity has to offer. Now he tends his garden, goes fishing and avoids contact with other people as much as possible.
this lady is using her position as an activist. She needs to take a long walk through the alligator pond. no clean up necessary.
Even when the victim is one of “her people.”
The US is no longer a Nation of laws.
The Summer of 2019 in Chicago is going to make the Days of Rage of the Summer of 1968 look like The Teddy Bears Picnic.
Idiot liberals have no clue as to the fact that when you fail to enforce the Rule of Law, their own people will enforce the Rule of Violence on each other.
2016 ((808 homicides) is known as the Sh*tshow in Chicago. Given the incompetent and corrupt leadership of the new mayor and this DA, 2019 may come to be know as the Cr@ptacular.
Shot-A-Palooza weekend this year will be one for the ages.
+1
next dem senator from ILL
This woman is a one-person OJ jury.
Yes she is.
[ “Kim Foxx kept telling us that was the best way to go, that way we have some kind of, the safety net,” said Anjanette Albert, Derrion’s mother. “That way if he got in trouble he goes back, that’s what it is.” ]
So, Dionte must commit his NEXT crime before anything bad. That’s what Kim Foxx told this mother.
Maybe the Albert family will burn that Mother F***** down.
That kind of rhetoric worked for the Brown family why not the Albert family.
She may be more contemptible than even Toni Prickwinkle.
Lawlessness will abound.
Prayers for this man
Time to “Skin the Foxx” re her employment.
Social justice is a free get out of jail card
