Cook County State’s Attorney’s office releases updated list of cops who won’t be called to testify, most of them CPD members
The Cook County state’s attorney’s office on Monday made public a list of 174 current and former law enforcement officers who will not be called to testify in court proceedings.
“The culture that allowed disreputable law enforcement officers to testify in court propelled Cook County’s reputation as the wrongful conviction capital of the country,” State’s Attorney Kim Foxx said in a statement. “Releasing our ‘Do Not Call List’ and updating our internal policy regarding witness disclosure are necessary steps to improve the office’s prosecutorial integrity and help rebuild public trust in our criminal justice system.”The list is a byproduct of two landmark U.S.
The list made public Monday, however, suggests that dozens of officers were omitted from the state’s attorney’s disclosure earlier this year. Meanwhile, since March 1, at least more 19 officers — again mostly from the Chicago Police Department — were determined to be too risky to call as witnesses.
