Cook County State's Attorney Kim Foxx, who was viewed as being soft on crime, is leaving office and naming and shaming several police officers on her way out the door.
The retiring Illinois attorney released a list of more than 150 law enforcement officers whom her office deemed so unreliable that prosecutors refuse to call them as witnesses. The"Do Not Call List" includes approximately 180 law enforcement officers, some currently serving and others who have since retired. The list comprises mostly police officers out of the Chicago Police Department, but officers from suburban departments are included as well.
Impeachment information is evidence the defense can use to question the reliability or credibility of a government witness, including law enforcement officers. Some names on the list are well known throughout Chicago. Officers Reynaldo Guevara and Ronald Watts have been in the news recently, as several convictions stemming from their investigations have been vacated.
