First, the State’s Attorney is sued by George Alpogianis for failing to clear an over-turned conviction from the database. Worse still, turns out that Eugene Bailey, the 17 year-old Alvarez accused as delivering the fatal blows to Fenger classmate Derrion Albert, wasn’t even at the scene.
“While the charge against Bailey was brought in good faith based on witness accounts and identifications, additional information has developed … that warranted the dismissal,” Cook County State’s Attorney Anita Alvarez said…Bailey’s mother said the three weeks of custody had changed her son’s life forever. Bailey had no previous criminal record, according to prosecutors. ”Can anyone imagine that kind of pain?” she said referring to his time in custody.
Oops.
