CHICAGO (Fox 32 News) - A judge is set to decide Thursday whether a special prosecutor should investigate Kim Foxx's handling of the Jussie Smollett case, and we’ve now learned that the judge has a son who works in the state's attorney’s office.
Judge Leroy Martin Junior is the presiding judge of the Cook County Court's Criminal Division. It's standard procedure for him to preside over the hearing to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate Foxx's handling of the Smollett case. But it turns out that Martin's son is a lawyer who works in the Juvenile Division of the state's attorney’s office. He was hired last April.
When we asked longtime criminal defense attorney Joe Lopez if, in his opinion, this constitutes a conflict of interest, he said it may or may not.
Forget it, Jake, it’s Chicago.
Right. Nepotic, incestuous, corrupt Chicago pols. Another day at the office.
the judicial branch is as criminal as can be.
corrupt. with gouts of impropriety about which
they DO NOT CARE.
impeach, indict, convict each of these corrupt
obstructors of justice.
You know it isn't a matter where propriety is at it's core.
Rowandan politics in Illinois!
I don’t see how if he’s in the Juvenile Department - unless Kim Foxx will be investigated as a child.
Just saying...
