A mother who was accused of ordering her son to kill a man inside a West Pullman restaurant is suing the city of Chicago and the police officers who arrested her, a day after prosecutors dropped the murder charges.
“We do not take what happened to Ms. Hood lightly,” attorney Brandon Brown said during a press conference Tuesday morning. “You don’t have to be a lawyer to appreciate and recognize that when a woman is violently attacked by a man — an unarmed woman — that she wouldn't be arrested.”
Hood and Jeremy Brown got into a verbal altercation inside the restaurant at around 11 p.m. before he began punching Hood in the head. Prosecutors said at that point, Hood’s son produced a firearm and shot Brown in the back before chasing him out of the restaurant and shooting him a second time. “I’ve experienced pain in many ways, many ways, that I would have never have thought,” Hood said. “What happened to me was totally unnecessary. Never in a million years would I have imagined being brutally attacked, beaten and then arrested.”
