A decade after federal authorities say he tried to set off an inert 1,000-pound car bomb outside a downtown Chicago bar, a Hillside man says he wants to take back the guilty plea he entered in 2018 and go to trial.
U.S. District Judge Sharon Johnson Coleman in 2018 accepted a specialized guilty plea from Adel Daoud, now 29, in which he admitted to the facts surrounding his arrest but denied culpability. It’s known as an Alford plea, and the judge accepted it over the objection of prosecutors.
