which is run by Chicago.
Yep.
The Supreme court has 7 members, only three of which are from Cook County. The rest are elected in districts across the state.
Two of the Justices - Chief Justice Theis and Justice Cunningham, recused themselves from the case BECAUSE they were from Chicago.
The other five justices, representing the whole of the state, all agreed that when a State's Attorney makes a deal, you stick with that deal. You don't piss away 5 million dollars prosecuting a fucking prank.
