There's more at the link. The question I had when I read the article was, "are they still in jail?" which wasn't answered in this article. Yes, they are still in jail because the judge wouldn't give them bail.

There’s another article about this at the same website indicating there is no bond for these cretins and they are being held in jail. Here’s the link to that January 6, 2017 article:

http://chicago.suntimes.com/news/no-bond-for-four-in-videotaped-attack/

They’ve been in jail for a little over a month. There’s a video interview of one of the defendants’ brother at the link above right after he got kicked out of the courtroom at the bond hearing, for reasons not given. He seems like a nice young man, but it’s really hard to understand what he’s saying, they should have had subtitles. Thinks his brother did what he did because he was on drunk or high.

Are they hoping for jury nullification or what? Their guilt seems as clear-cut as could be. What is their lawyer thinking?

Didn't this take place over a period of some hours?

Now granted that I tend not to take recreational drugs or drink to excess but wouldn't someone who was out of control because of drugs or drink either fall asleep or sober up over that length of time?

So if a drunk driver kills someone can they say not guilty because they were drunk.........the brother is clearly not using all brain cells

If they keep this plea all the way to trial that is good because no plea deal means a longer sentence and shows lack of remorse

Being under the influence tends to let the real person out. All four of these peeps are incorregable and need to fry.

I agree. I have yet to meet someone who was a "mean drunk" who wasn't a nasty person sober as well.

My BIL was a drunk. But he was always a pleasant person even when he was plastered. Just don't go after one of his sibs if you value your life. :)

Yes, they are hoping for an all black jury that thinks whitey deserves everything they can do to him.

Their chances are even better than that: all they need is ONE juror to vote for acquittal, and that’s a hung jury ... and, at worst, a chance for a more lenient plea bargain next negotiating session. Maybe, depending on the DA’s office, they wouldn’t even be re-tried, and just let go at that time.

It might take a lot of effort on the part of the court system (in Chicago!) to see that justice is done in this case.
