Chicago's Kim Foxx let Jussie Smollett off the hook, turns out she let a convicted murderer go free
CHICAGO (WLS) -- The family of 16-year-old Derrion Albert wants to know
why one of the men convicted in his murder is now free. The
16-year-old Fenger High School honors student was on the way home from
school when he was caught in the middle of a gang fight and killed in
2009. The I-Team has been looking into the Cook County State's Attorney decisions in the wake of the Jussie Smollett case
and uncovered that the Cook County State's Attorney Kim Foxx decided
not to pursue a stiff prison sentence for one of the attackers shortly
after she took office. Cook County prosecutors charged four teens involved in the gang melee
that led to Albert's death as adults. Three were convicted of murder at
trial. One pleaded guilty. All are serving prison sentences.
