Meh, I simply got caught up in their politics during an election year. They didn't care I broke some guy's hip in a bar fight, all they wanted was a conviction...which they never received. Meanwhile, I spent almost a decade selling building materials in Florida while fighting the case. What I find truly sad about their alleged justice system is the fact one of the original assistant prosecuting attorneys in that link is now a judge...and the below quote from that article boils my blood. Did I mention this county has been run by corrupt Republicans for decades?
"The jury in the wealthy DuPage County suburb appeared to accept such a position. After their innocent verdict was delivered, the jury left the courtroom, but many of them returned to join the celebration of the indicted lawmen. A number of reporters commented that they have never seen such a demonstration. Some jurors even continued the celebration with the prosecutors and police at a steak lounge until early the next morning.
The defendants were also aided by the favorable rulings of trial judge William Kelly, who dropped charges against prosecutors King and Kilander and then acquitted Officer Winkler in a bench trial that coincided with the jury trial."
