Chicago May Be ready for Reform

I found this post from Crimefiles first over at Second City Cop. I could almost wonder how Crimefiles was able to get this scoop that I thought I would only find in the major newspapers. I wonder how Mr. Paul Huebels got any piece of this story of a power couple he refers to as "the King and Queen of Chicago...

A new investigation is expected to be launched into the criminal activities of Chicago Alderman Edward M. Burke and his wife, Illinois Supreme Court Justice, Anne M. Burke. The Burkes are accused of fixing murder cases and at least one high profile child molestation case.

There are some serious issues involving statutes of limitations that won’t affect State Bar and judicial conduct matters. There are plenty of matters recent enough to bring indictments.

Payoffs in the form of contracts awarded for Chicago’s legal work, Chicago Mob ties, new ghost pay-rolling allegations, along with fixing a court appeal to help the Emerald Gambling Casino regain their revoked license will all be under a new government microscope.
So what does everyone think. Is there any truth to this? Any reason to doubt this?

If this is true I look forward to finding out more soon!

I think you will wait a long time. This is one of the silliest things I've ever seen.

I agree with Schnorf: this whole thing lacks credibility. Who will be launching the investigation? Which cases were fixed? When? There's absolutely no detail about any of this.

Read "When Corruption Was King" by Robert Cooley, the allegations have been in print for several years now.

These allegations are also being spread by Jeremiah "Jerry the Big Potato" Joyce and the 19th ward crew.
