Another Crimesha Scandal?

This is from a couple of days ago:

• A jailhouse informant who got a sweetheart deal to testify against a former cellmate charged with killing 9-year-old Tyshawn Lee in an infamous gang revenge shooting isn’t reliable enough to take the witness stand at the trial scheduled for this fall, a Cook County judge ruled Thursday.
  
  The deal obtained by the informant — a five-year sentence on a reduced aggravated battery charge — led to his release on parole in January, but now he won’t have to testify after all at the trial of Dwright Doty.

Nice deal - reduced sentence for testimony too shady to be given. How the Hell did that happen?

• The turn of events came after the informant backtracked on a key detail while testifying at a hearing Thursday, prompting Judge Thaddeus Wilson to question his credibility and bar him from testifying for the prosecution at Doty’s trial.
  
  The informant originally told authorities that Doty confessed to him in graphic detail in 2017 about Tyshawn’s slaying and the separate killing of 19-year-old Brianna Jenkins.
  
  [...] But when he took the stand at Thursday’s hearing, the informant testified he never actually heard Doty say anything about Jenkins’ murder. When he signed the plea agreement indicating otherwise, the informant said, it “must have been a mistake.”

So this asshole gets a great deal on an Aggravated Battery charge and the case against an even bigger asshole who shot a nine-year-old in the face over a dispute with the dead boy's sperm donor just got that much more difficult to win.

Hey Crimesha? These jagoffs are the ones that you might actually want to keep in prison for maximum sentences.
