How 177 arrests led to no convictions — a tangled, seven-year tale of prosecutorial hubris and tenacious defense.
Citing pending civil lawsuits, Reyna declined to speak on the record for this article, but he vigorously denied all the charges made in the affidavits secured by Broden, and he disputed The Tribune-Herald’s characterization of his actions. In the end, his primary wasn’t even close: Johnson defeated him by nearly 20 points.

Here we are.
The Slimes might also ask:
“Nine killed every weekend for the past 10 years in Chicago jungles, why no convictions?”
If not all of it, which explains the apparent lack of marksmanship.
Thanks Much for update, Been quite a Ride👍
The shootings weren’t all by the cops. A couple were by their informants.
