Chicago's head lawyer resigned

mardi 22 décembre 2020 à 01:00

Mark Flessner, Chicago's head lawyer, resigned, and it seems to be related to the thugs' mistaken raid on Anjanette Young's house, in which they handcuffed her naked and wouldn't let her cover herself. (And wrecked the door of her house.)

The article does not specify why he resigned, but it looks like the city's lawyers were trying to prevent her at all costs from demonstrating what had happened to her, trying to thwart justice.

Even if the head lawyer did not specifically tell the other lawyers what to do about this case, it was his job to teach them what values and goals should guide their work for the city.

Maybe the feeling of responsibility for what the other lawyers did impelled him to resign. If so, that is very honorable by US standards.
