WIll ABC News Report On The City of Chicago's Victory In the Jovan Mosley Case?
When Jovan Mosley filed suit, John Garcia of ABC news reported:
Mosley was 19 years old when he says Chicago police coerced him into confessing to a 1999 murder on the city's South Side His attorney says this is an example of a complete breakdown of the justice system. He says police coerced Jovan Mosley into confessing to something as simple as hitting a guy and taking a sip of his soda. Next thing he knew he was facing capitol murder charges. He spent nearly six years behind bars before a jury cleared him of all charges. Jovan Mosley and his attorney (Sean Mulroney) say he had never been in trouble, never been arrested, and was a 19-year-old kid with college plans when he suddenly found himself in the maximum security wing of the Cook County Jail charged with murder and facing the death penalty.
As previously reported, Chicago police were clearly justified in relying on eyewitnesses in arresting Mr. Mosley and although Mosley was acquitted - that does not mean that police did anything wrong. And the Court agreed. Will John Garcia of ABC Chicago News run the story of Chicago Police being cleared of any misconduct in this case? Contact ABC News and let them know - fair is fair.
