Former federal prosecutor to lead review of Chicago’s Law Department
Chicago’s lead attorney, Steven Patton, announced that Dan Webb, a former federal prosecutor, will lead what is being spun as a “third-party” review of the city’s law department, which is under fire for a senior attorney (since resigned) concealing evidence in a police shooting case.
Webb’s group will begin immediately its review of the standards and practices of the Chicago Law Department’s Federal Civil Rights Litigation division, which defends police officers in federal civil cases involving use of excessive force.
Patton’s statement also said: “We hold ourselves to the absolute highest professional and ethical standards to maintain their trust. … We have zero tolerance for any action that undermines the trust of the residents we serve.” http://chicago.suntimes.com/chicago-politics/7/71/1241048/dan-webb-law-department-review-pinex
