Authorities investigating the 2011 slaying of a Chicago police officer concealed evidence to pin the case on the three men who were ultimately charged, attorneys for one of the men allege in a new court filing.
Chicago police officers salute their fallen comrade outside United Missionary Baptist Church after the funeral service for Officer Clifton Lewis in Chicago on Jan. 5, 2012.
Meanwhile, attorneys say they have uncovered further evidence casting doubt on the men’s guilt. A PlayStation purportedly recorded co-defendant Tyrone Clay’s voice as he was playing a video game at the exact time of the murder, though efforts to recover that recording have so far been unsuccessful.
Three men were ultimately charged with Lewis’ murder. Villa and Clay were the two shooters, prosecutors allege. Colon was charged with being the getaway driver. Prosecutors appealed that decision; it took the state appellate court a year and a half to render its order saying Reddick was correct and the confession should not go before a jury.Meanwhile, Villa was convicted in a late-night verdict in 2019. Three years later, he has yet to be sentenced, largely because his new attorneys unearthed several complex matters in their examination of the evidence.
