Several recent resignations in the Cook County State's Attorney's office raise questions about the culture and reforms from Kim Foxx's leadership.
Foxx is dealing with a public relations problem after losing three senior prosecutors including two in just the last week.
"I can no longer work for this Administration. I have zero confidence in their leadership," Murphy wrote in an email to colleagues. "This Administration is more concerned with political narratives and agenda than with victims and prosecuting violent crime. That is why I can't stay any longer.""I don't know Jim Murphy personally and I strongly disagree with his contentions about the state's attorney's office," she said.
Foxx's office issued a statement saying in part, "We recognize the rigors of this difficult work and the toll that it bears, yet over 11-hundred employees show up every day to work on the front lines and behind the scenes in a testament of the resiliency and spirit of this office."
