In an unprecedented move, a Cook County judge threw out the murder convictions of a man who said he was tortured into confessing by detectives working under former Chicago Police Cmdr. Jon Burge.
Today’s ruling by Judge Thomas Sumner marks the first time a judge has vacated a conviction based on allegations of torture under Burge at Area 2 police headquarters.
Or a bank teller:
A Lincoln Park bank branch was robbed about noon Monday.
Police had no details on the robbery other than it occurred at a bank branch on the 2000 block of North Halsted Street about noon, according to News Affairs Officer John Henry.
A North Community Bank branch is located at 2000 N. Halsted St., according to the bank's Web site.
Chicago Police and the FBI are investigating.
