The statement said that the law department "is now drafting a civil complaint that will be filed in the Circuit Court of Cook County. "

Per the statement, the department aims to file in the near future, and will "pursue the full measure of damages allowed under the ordinance."

He got away scot-free and instead of being glad and happily pay the cost, he is refusing it.

They should get him for everything they can.

Since he’s claiming innocence this is the right thing to do.

Paying them would be admitting guilt.

(yes, I know he’s not innocent)

the city doesn’t have a leg to stand on ... they failed to charge this miscreant for a single crime, so he doesn’t owe them a cent ... charging citizens for their investigation is something out of the old soviet union or even a franz kafka story ...

Legally speaking , this is confusing.

Legally speaking, he’s off the hook, he’s scot free.

Since he’s off the hook, legally, and since legally, he did nothing wrong, then why, legally, would there be an expectation that he reimburse for the investigative costs?

Different standard in civil court. Think Goldman case against OJ.

He was a red diaper baby, Communist parents. Odds were against him, and he certainly didn’t overcome the odds.

I agree, on what basis are they trying to charge him?

When has this ever been tried before?
