Cook County State's Attorney Kim Foxx said she won't 'cut corners,' despite a Chicago violence spike, citing a history of wrongful convictions.
CHICAGO -- Amid the soaring number of shootings and murders in Cook County over the past two years, State's Attorney Kim Foxx said her prosecutors won't"cut corners" because of pressure to tamp down crime.
"There was a cry to do something related to the violence, and there were times where corners were cut to satiate the fears that were happening in our community." In September, a police commander moved to charge a suspect in the killing of 7-year-old Serenity Broughton without prosecutors' approval out of frustration. Wednesday, Foxx pointed out that the suspect was charged two weeks later, after police collected more evidence.
