Days before cash bail is set to be abolished in Illinois, opponents of the measure ask a Kankakee County judge to block it and declare the sweeping criminal justice law it is part of unconstitutional. Tribune’s @Mabuckley88 and @JeremyGorner reporting chicagotribune.com/news/criminal-…

This new policy has the potential to create real issues with the way cases are investigated, charged, and prosecuted, to say nothing of the degree to which it ostensibly increases the likelihood of ASAs being sued if something goes wrong.

After all, the search warrant executed at Anjanette Young’s home—the reason why this policy is being implemented—was based on information provided by a John Doe.

I’m sure the new policy of making a retroactive determination of whether the issuance of a search warrant was “justified” won’t have any affect at all on the outcome of cases charged using evidence obtained from that search warrant.

For the good of the city, I will not be running for mayor. A crowded field only serves to benefit the mayor. Lightfoot must be defeated to save Chicago.

I used to believe bar associations & the ARDC were legitimate institutions integral to maintaining the professional & ethical standards of the practice of law.
I realize now they’re at best ineffectual and at worst a front for the corruption they’re supposed to guard against.

@BossHook @cookcountyasa mens rea is the knowledge that possessing the machine gun is illegal. actus reus is actually carrying the machine gun Your better argument probably would’ve been to say that federal sentencing guidelines do not consider illegal gun possession a violent crime

Your occasional reminder that Kim Foxx believes illegal gun possession is a nonviolent offense.

@cookcountyasa Come on counselor, we all know she needs to go but don't let your emotions make you a sloppy prosecutor. You should know unlawful possession of a firearm without mens rea or actus reus is a non-violent offense under 5/24.
