- Charge ’em: Cook County State’s Attorney Anita Alvarez, a mega Blackhawks fan, bumped into irate Hawks boosters after the game Tuesday at the United Center who jokingly asked her to consider battery charges against Phoenix Coyotes’ bad boy Raffi Torres for his cheap shoulder-to-the-chin shot to Blackhawks player Marian Hossa.
Alvarez declined, citing the continuing investigation and the demands by her subordinates to interview 20,000 witnesses and gather written/videotaped statements from all of them, including the ones in the bathroom or in line for beer.
Torres continued to deny any wrong doing and Alvarez stated the lack of an actual confession was hampering prosecution efforts along with an actual absence of DNA evidence of contact between the parties.
And speaking of the Blackhawks, Shaved has a post up about a certain exempt individual with a propensity for imbibing in frosty beverages and spouting off inappropriately. Anyone have any real info on that?
