OK...I get that you're a troll, but this is bad even by your standards.
Here's a fun story for Weather and 2TinyGuy
In seismic shift, Cook County prosecutors now send almost all gun cases to grand juries
As Chicago police have made more gun-possession arrests, prosecutors are using the secretive grand jury process and securing more convictions.www.injusticewatch.org
In March 2020, Doryion Booker was putting in extra hours driving for Uber to save up for his wife’s birthday present. The day before her birthday, a Chicago police officer pulled him over on the West Side for not having proper lighting over his license plate.
As Booker reached into his wallet for his driver’s license, the officer saw his Firearm Owners Identification card and asked if he was carrying a gun, Booker said. He was, after two recent incidents had left him “paranoid,” he said.
Instead of enjoying home-cooked lobster and a play for his wife’s birthday as he had planned, Booker spent a day-and-a-half in custody after he was arrested on suspicion of carrying his gun without a concealed carry license.
About a month later, he received a letter from the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office saying that he had been indicted. A grand jury, at least 16 civilians convened by prosecutors to review felony cases, had decided to charge him with aggravated unlawful use of a weapon.
Before 2014, about 25% of cases in Cook County where illegal gun possession was the top charge went through grand juries. From 2016 to 2018, prosecutors brought more than 95% of those cases through grand juries, according to an analysis of decades of Cook County court data conducted by The Circuit. (The Circuit has requested, but not yet received, court data from 2019 to present from the Office of the Chief Judge.)
Booker took the deal and was sentenced to two years’ probation in May 2021. He had to pay $864 in court fees, and he cannot possess a gun, change addresses, or leave the state without permission from the court. He also must submit to random drug testing, according to the sentencing documents. He’s now branded a convicted felon, which makes finding a job even more difficult.
Glad to see you support Constitutional Carry in Illinois!
That's a lie.
Are you...mentally challenged? Who fired first (or at all) is irrelevant. A convicted felon having a gun, in and of itself, is a felony!
That's a lie.
