The [Thursday] Papers"A man who says he was beaten into confessing to a double murder by detectives under disgraced former Chicago police Cmdr. Jon Burge was ordered released by a Cook County judge on Wednesday, the same day Burge reported to federal prison," the Tribune reports. There isn't much justice in this world, but what little there is sure is sweet. "Eric Caine, who was imprisoned for a quarter of a century after his arrest in 1986 for the murder of an elderly couple, is scheduled to be released from a state prison in southern Illinois on Thursday, said his attorney, Russell Ainsworth . . . "Ainsworth said he was expecting that Judge William Hooks would hold an evidentiary hearing in the case Wednesday at the Criminal Courts Building. But to his surprise, the judge ordered Caine released after a special prosecutor appointed in several Burge cases moved to dismiss the charges against Caine. The special prosecutor, Stuart Nudelman, held he could not prove Caine's guilt without his confession, which had been tainted by the allegations of abuse against Burge and his detectives." * See also: * Reader: Pure Torture (December 1999) Worst Campus Ever * When suicide bombers die and go to meet their 72 virgins, they end up in a U of C lecture hall. * Cable Crime Frickin' Comcast. City-State "The notion of redrawing state boundaries along more plausible economic, cultural and geographic lines is appealing. I have written, in different settings, that southern Illinois should be attached to its natural mother, Kentucky, while Metro East becomes officially a part of the St. Louis metro area, the northernmost parts of Illinois faces a proud future as the southernmost parts of a new Wisconsin, and Illinois's farming midsection is split between the Indiana and the Iowa that it resembles in so many ways." Queen Bees "Drawing SampleSaint to Cincinnati marks the second time a CincyTech investment has moved a Chicago tech company out to the Buckeye State - the first being $250,000 that pulled TurboBOTZ, creators of a digital retailing marketplace for buying/selling used video games, away from the Windy City." Smoke 'Em If You Got 'Em Police Chief Charade "His remarks followed more than a week of speculation in Chicago and Philadelphia media that he is in the running for the title of top cop in the Windy City. "'Clearly, I'm torn,' said Ramsey, who added that Chicago Mayor-elect Rahm Emanuel had approached him." * So like his predecessor, Emanuel is going around the system set up whereby the Police Board does the vetting and sends recommendations to the mayor and is just doing the search himself. Not that I have any faith in the Police Board, but then let's not let it waste everybody's time. * Someone with an agenda is using Sneed to push John Timoney, but he would actually be the kind of heavyweight Chicago could use.
