Jury finds POS charged with killing CPD commander guilty of first-degree murder

The man charged with killing a Chicago police commander was found guilty Friday of first-degree murder.

CHICAGO - The man charged with killing a Chicago police commander was found guilty Friday of first-degree murder.

Paul Bauer, a popular 31-year veteran of the police department, was walking to City Hall on Feb. 13, 2018 when he heard a call on his radio that a man was running from officers after the officers tried to question him on Lower Wacker Drive. Prosecutors told jurors that Bauer, 53, gave chase and caught up to Shomari Legghette, 46, who was a four-time convicted felon. During a brief struggle that caused the two men to topple down a stairwell at the state government building in the city’s downtown Loop, Legghette pulled out a gun and shot Bauer six times.

Somewhere in this twisted world of political pandering and anti-police sentiment fostered by the liberal media, I expect this piece of shit to accuse the police of coercing his confession, insufficient and ineffective representation by his attorney or other nonsense. And former Governor Ryan, thank you for trying to pander your way out of your license for bribes conviction by suspending the death penalty.

In 2003, Governor Ryan commuted death row inmates' sentences.

In 2010, Governor Ryan outlawed the death penalty.

This blog is about

This blog is non-monetized and uses photos and materials from other sources. It is in compliance with Fair Use Section 107 of the U.S. Copyright Code. Music, videos and mugshots are for entertainment and disincentive purposes only. Any similarities or resemblances to people or pets, living, dead or imprisoned is just your imagination. Some stories are true, some are fictional while some of the stories are funny.

The theme of this blog has changed. We are now headed into a period of extreme political and economic troubles. We want to increase everyone's awareness and show them how to weather the storm. We are going to begin including articles and videos on prepping (food, water, shelter, medicine, self-defense,) basic economics and general SHTF lifestyle changes.

I am not going to be critical of 19th ward politicians. They tend to do the best job they can with very limited resources, and don't need to be beaten up. In fact, people should be helping them as they are among the last "normal" leaders in Illinois.

I am keeping the 19th Ward Chicago name because of the rich blog history going back to 2010 and because there is a ready-made base of similar-thinking readers. For now on, the 19th Ward of Chicago will be mainly a point of reference, an observation deck if you will. A place where allot of good-natured, normal-thinking people still live and can safely view the dysfunction overtaking America. Write whatever you want about whatever or whomever you want. Just keep it true and not vulgar.

At all times, we am going to comply with Blogspot's community standards. We have seen what happens when there is not such compliance.

We will never publish threats of physical violence or baseless attacks on people or institutions.
