Back in Custody

He survived? And he showed up at Court?

But this time, he didn't go home:
  • A 14-year-old boy accused of shooting two men on a Red Line platform last week in the Uptown neighborhood during the evening rush was ordered by a judge on Monday to remain in custody.

    Although the boy was ordered to be released at a hearing Friday because police held him beyond the legal limit for minors, his mother never picked him up.

    On Monday, the boy’s mother told Cook County Juvenile Division Judge Linda Pauel that she was hesitant to take custody of him because of concerns about a retaliatory attack against her son.

    “I am not a police officer to guide or protect him,” she said. “If I came to pick him up, they might see me with him and attack me, how would I handle that?”
Mom of the Year - never even came by to pick him up. The Yummy Sandifer comparison is getting better by the minute. And as hinted at here, the fuck-up was a Crimesha/Tim Evans Special and NOT the CPD:
  • A Cook County juvenile court judge’s decision to release a 14-year-old accused of shooting two men at the Argyle Red Line station without any sort of supervision on Friday was a stunner. Even in a county where low bail and a weak prosecutor’s office help make crime pay, the unconditional release of an accused two-time shooter on a technicality raised eyebrows.

    But new questions arose over the weekend about exactly how long the boy had really been in custody and about the judge’s decision to set him free. [...]But police this weekend strenuously denied prosecutors’ claims.

    “The interrogation and arrest lasted 21 hours and 44 minutes,” a CPD spokesperson said. The boy was then transferred to Cook County custody. Police said the teen was taken into custody on the West Side at 5 p.m. on Wednesday; attempted murder charges were approved by prosecutors at 2:44 p.m. on Thursday; and the boy was then transported to the county’s juvenile detention center. The “magic” 40th hour by which a judicial officer must have reviewed the teen’s case passed some 20 hours later, two hours before the boy was brought in for a bond hearing.

    A police department source this weekend also said that the accused teen has an outstanding warrant from elsewhere in Illinois that should have prevented the judge from releasing him in any event.
Once again, the lame-stream media takes Crimesha's word, even knowing that she is a shady-as-fuck liar who has repeatedly abused the truth to a degree that should trigger a DCFS investigation. You'd think someone would have called CPD to see what happened, but no one did. In fact, CPD provided a timeline of events to the CWB blog that shows exactly how long the offender was in custody and when he was transferred to County custody.

The CrimeInWrigleyville and Boystown blog is the only outfit holding public servants to account.
