But enforcing the gun-laws that are already on the books would be unfair. 3 men, 3 guns, but prosecutors only file misdemeanor charges | CWB Chicago
Police searched the car for narcotics and wound up finding three loaded handguns inside the center console, prosecutors said. One of the guns was allegedly equipped with an extended ammunition magazine. The three men were arrested.
Prosecutors said the men are Marcus Taylor, 30, who was on bail for another pending felony gun case; Jerry Glover, 22, who has two prior felony narcotics convictions; and Isaiah Robinson, 23, who is on parole for a felony gun conviction.
But prosecutors only charged the men with one count of misdemeanor unlawful use of a weapon each.
Even a Cook County judge asked if more charges would be forthcoming, and the prosecutor answered with a simple, "No."
Why is crime skyrocketing in Chicago? Because prosecutors are sending a message that breaking the law comes with no consequences.
