Chicago police officers' credibility questioned by judges in at least 13 cases, defense attorneys told - Chicago Tribune

Chicago police officers' credibility questioned by judges in at least 13 cases, defense attorneys told - Chicago Tribune: Cook County prosecutors recently notified defense lawyers in at least 10 criminal cases that a judge found the court testimony of a veteran Chicago police officer to be false, a determination about the officer's credibility that could affect the cases as they move to trial.

The state's attorney's office also has told defense lawyers in at least three other cases that another Cook County judge has cast doubt on testimony from two other police officers, raising questions about those cases as well.
