The exodus of attorneys from the prosecutor’s office in recent months is not unique to Cook County, State’s Attorney Kim Foxx said Tuesday.
Foxx was addressing reporters to announce the office had moved to drop cases against eight men convicted of murder based on evidence tainted by the involvement of former Chicago Police Detective Reynaldo Guevara, when she was asked about short-staffing and morale crises pointed out in a resignation letter from a top prosecutor made public last week.
