2. What sane person didn’t know this was a laughable hoax day one, much less day 3?
It was fishy from the start, but one has to let these types of things unfold.
As info came out it was obvious. And the police had info after a couple of days that we have just been informed of..........which is what
@jrry32 had pointed out to you.
The police suspected from the very start he was lying. As in immediately upon hearing his story and meeting him. By Day 3 it was obvious to those well connected thus the phone call.
Chicago Police Union has just announced that they are asking for a federal investigation and The Chicago Police Dept. has just released the case file to the public.
Yeah if I am a cop and I show up to his place to get details and it's been 40 minutes and he's still wearing the noose around his neck red flags would be flying all over the place.
There should be an investigation, a complete dive into what happened, because something is as fishy as the original story. IMO he offered someone some money and they took it in exchange for getting the charges dropped. I suspect the deal that included community service (which I didn't know he actually did and haven't heard about) and letting the county keep his 100K bail isn't the whole story. First off did anyone hear about him doing community service? That was part of the statement, he had done enough.
There is more here than we know IMO. And I suspect his lawyers are involved in a dirty way considering their statement.
He should do some time, not 10 years, but 9 months maybe 12 and pay a hefty fine. And the party or parties that got the charges dropped needs to be held accountable. If they were paid off they need to be punished harshly.
