That case has already gone to trial and he was convicted of nearly three dozen counts of falsifying business records in an attempt to cover up another crime. That is NOT the case we discuss today.He's also been indicted in Fulton County, Ge...

It's a cautionary tale on what our justice system could become if we aren't vigilant in preventing it. Chicago during the industrial revolution was a tense time.
