A Cook County judge Friday denied prosecutors’ request that he reconsider the sentence he gave a man a decade ago under a new state law that gives prison inmates who have taken steps toward rehabilitation a chance to get out of prison early.
Judge Stanley Sacks said he didn’t believe 55-year-old convicted burglar Charles Miles had shown himself to be rehabilitated while in prison and expressed skepticism over whether the state’s constitution would allow him to effectively commute the remainder of Miles’ sentence if he wanted to.
