Chicago detectives played this perfectly from the get-go. The awful thing is how much money and resources (calls, data, visits, forensics and on and on) were wasted on this twisted scu bag that could have gone to real criminal cases. HE MUST make FULL restitution of these costs, in addition to prison time.
They proceeded to carry out this investigation knowing the longer it went on the greater the chances Jussie would trip himself up.
Although the slow trickle of information is frustrating I want the CPD to cross every T and dot ever lower case I.
Let Jussie tie his own noose.
Your points are excellent.
I will be surprised if he gets any prison time, but I do expect him to be fined equivalent to the police dollars wasted on this vicious lie.
But the time wasted, which as you said could have been spent investigating real crimes (in a city where the homicide solve rate is 12%), can never be recovered.
