The "most corrupt cop" title appears to be safely in Joseph Miedzianowski's hands for the foreseeable future:
Former Chicago Police Officer Jerome Finnigan and another member of the now-disbanded Special Operations Section were charged Thursday in federal court with stealing hundreds of thousands of dollars from drug suspects, while two other officers were charged with lying in court.
Finnigan, 48, was previously charged in 2007 with plotting to kill a fellow officer who he believed was cooperating with investigators. He’s been in a federal lockup ever since.
- Finnigan and Herrera, 33, face separate charges in state court for participating with a ring of Special Operations Section officers that allegedly kidnapped and robbed drug suspects. Those charges will be dismissed under the deal.
All those Class X felonies? Gone. Murder for Hire? Dismissed. Theft, Official Misconduct, the works? Nada.
Fantastic investigation there Kirby. Can we put this thing behind us yet? Until actual sentencing we guess - then they'll trot out all the crap again. One has to wonder if someone is clearing the decks so Rahm can come in without all of Daley's baggage still hanging around.
