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.
