Lawyers for one of the men charged in the 2011 murder of a Chicago police officer say misconduct by police and prosecutors in the case has passed a “tipping point” and called on a judge to either dismiss the charges or sanction the Cook County state’s attorney.
In a motion filed last week, lawyers for Edgardo Colon said that recently discovered emails show that prosecutors were aware for more than a decade of cell phone data that showed Colon and his two co-defendants were miles away from the scene when CPD Officer Clifton Lewis was gunned down during a convenience store robbery.
"Prosecutors’ misconduct has extended well beyond the tipping point, and this court should dismiss the pending charge against Mr. Colon," lawyer Paul Vickrey wrote in the motion, filed Friday. "The unlawful machinations of the [state’s attorney’s office] and the CPD have already cost Mr. Colon over ten years of incarceration and a ‘stacked deck’ trial in which his counsel had no idea of the mountain of exculpatory evidence which had been hidden or destroyed.
"It would appear that there are some irregularities in the representation you made to this court," Reddick said to city attorney Christina Hake when she returned to the bench.
