Aldermen are poised to pay $750,000 on Wednesday to settle two lawsuits claiming Chicago police officers improperly arrested men for crimes they did not commit.
Thanks to our sponsors:
The settlements are set for a final vote by the full City Council.
The Chicago City Council’s Finance Committee endorsed a recommendation from city attorneys to pay $500,000 to Anthony Tucker, who was acquitted of first-degree murder in 2016.
Tucker’s lawsuit accused the officers who arrested him of suppressing evidence that he was not guilty, and a witness in the case accused officers of coercing her to identify of Tucker as the person responsible for the murder.
