The Cook County state’s attorney’s office assigned new prosecutors to try three men charged in the 2011 slaying of an off-duty Chicago police officer amid increasing scrutiny of the decadelong prosecution, accusations of prosecutorial and police misconduct and a tangled battle over evidence production.
Prosecutors allege that Clay and Alexander Villa shot Lewis while Edgardo Colon was their getaway driver.“The length of time this case has been going on is unconscionable,” Reddick said during the hearing, after the newly-assigned prosecutors asked for more time to respond to a defense motion. “Motions alleging prosecutorial misconduct are pending, and the court has not made any rulings,” the office said in a statement. “The new attorneys assigned to the case will be reviewing the matter and responding appropriately.”of deliberately trying to withhold evidence by using personal email addresses — not subject to disclosure under public record laws — in communications with the Chicago Police Department. They filed a motion asking Reddick to levy sanctions against the prosecutors.
