In regard to the possible disbanding of the Cook County Drug Unit being disbanded, it's 100% true:
- The bureau is being dissolved. The Prelim, Bond Court and Grand Jury unit is going to absorbed by the Felony Trial Bureau, the Special Pros. Unit is disbanded and Courtroom 102 is going to one of the Felony Trial Wings. The Complex Unit is going to Special Prosecutions.
The guy who was the special pros boss is a really good guy, was in the Gang Unit and prosecuted lots of murder cases including a cop murder. They let him go this week. The ASA's are "At Will" employees and they gave no reason for letting him go. Ultimately, there was no spot for him and he did not fit their agenda.

Past few weeks it’s been almost impossible to get a search warrant when the only thing being searched for were drugs. Narcotic has a total of 29 search warrants denied last week alone for drugs. Things are getting bad.
Perhaps the paper needs to be tightened up, especially in light of the scandal involving falsified warrants?
Or Crimesha's office is using that as an excuse? In any event, when do the layoffs start with the massive reduction in prosecutions?
