States Attorney Kim Foxx assistant resigns after who knows what has happened

BUMPED UP
MORE BILLS TO COOK COUNTY TAXPAYERS, AS THERE IS NO END TO THE DAMAGE BEING DONE BY THE PRECKWINKLE CREW.

In December, 2017, as Chief of the Cook County State's Attorney's Office's Civil Division, Patterson was lead defense counsel in a civil case with a questionable causal connection, brought against Cook County by the family of an 8-year-old girl who had been tortured and murdered by her grandmother.  The suit had been filed against Cook Co. because a doctor who had treated the girl worked at the county hospital at the time. On December 13, 2017, after Patterson had delivered his closing argument on behalf of the county, the jury ruled against the county and awarded the family $48,000,000.

Our states attorney, a bewildered Preckwinkle protege, absolutely in over her head.

FOX 32 NEWS - Fox 32 News has learned that State's Attorney Kim Foxx has accepted the resignation of one of her top aides, after an internal review revealed he was steering significant amounts of legal work to his former law firm at unusually high rates.

The resignation of the acting Civil Actions Bureau Chief, Chaka Patterson, comes after Fox 32 News first made inquiries about the State's Attorney's use of outside counsel six weeks ago. State's Attorney Foxx’s office provided us with a statement saying that her own review of outside counsel practices revealed that Patterson was referring significant business to his former law firm, Jones Day. Documents provided to Fox 32 News show Jones Day attorneys were sometimes being paid up to $500 an hour, rather than the customary rates of about a $185 an hour for outside legal service.

The state's attorney says an outside law firm has agreed to do a review of Foxx's use of outside counsel--at no cost to the county. And in the meantime, any outside counsel who are selected will only be chosen with the approval of the judge who's handling the case.

It is unknown if the SA will prosecute the culprits if a crime has been found to have been committed or if they will just hope the whole thing goes away.
HOW DOES A DECEDENT'S ESTATE GET AN AWARD OF $48,000,000?

HOW IS IT HIS OLD LAW FIRM IS GETTING ALL THIS LEGAL WORK AT OFF THE CHART PRICES?

THE ILLINOIS STATE POLICE NEED TO BE CALLED IN TO CONDUCT AN INVESTIGATION TO DETERMINE EXACTLY WHAT HAS HAPPENED?

      These are very good questions and unfortunately our bought and paid for leftist revolutionary local media are too busy crucifying police officers and planning their daily "two minutes of hate" against Trump.

    The State's Attorney's Office is all about politics. Nobody gets a job there without a phone call.
