You can file this under "Chicago's Recipe for More Crime." Murderer fled the country while a string of prosecutors made cops jump through hoops, records show | CWB Chicago
Despite video of the murder, and an autopsy report detailing cause of death, that matched the video, Cook County State's Attorney's Office REFUSED to file charges. Multiple times.
A taxi driver was killed by an Uber driver. The Uber driver, who is Chinese, used a roundhouse kick to the head. It took the Taxi Driver, Anis Tungekar, two days to die.
The 54-page file, provided to CWBChicago by Tungekar’s family, shows no fewer than seven different prosecutors refused to charge the suspect at different times over the span of nearly four months. Six of those refusals took place after detectives collected video footage of the slaying, records show.
According to the file, almost every refusal came from a different assistant state’s attorney, each of whom had new sets of tasks for detectives to complete before charges might be approved.
Because nothing makes a prosecuting attorney's day like making cops jump through hoops. Competely. Unnecessary. Hoops. Justice? Who the f*ck cares about Justice? No one in the Cook County State's Attorney's Office that's for damn sure.
They needed a warrant for the phone. They needed the contents of the phone translated from Chinese. They needed the cops to find a completely anonymous witness. The video wasn't enough.
And since they waited so long, Fangqi Lu had time to escape prosecution by returning to his native China. There is no extradition treaty between the US and China.
Cook County is not serious about violent crime
ReplyDeleteChinese? in Chi-town? Guess they had to call Beijing to make sure it was OK first. Democrats seem to work that way now.
