Mayor Lori Lightfoot admitted Thursday that she knew about the
botched police raid that left Anjanette Young, an innocent woman, handcuffed with no clothes on. She called what happened in that home a colossal failure and has ordered changes to make sure it doesn t happen again.
But late Friday, Lightfoot s office acknowledged that they failed to turn over six videos to Anjanette Young s lawyers that were requested earlier this year, calling it accidental.
Young told Good Morning America in an exclusive interview they didn t kill me last night because God was covering me. I was scared into compliance, like I just did what they said to me because I was afraid that if I did anything or made any moves, that they would shoot me, she said. They had guns pointed at me. I feared for my life that night.
CHICAGO (WLS) Mayor Lori Lightfoot admitted Thursday that she knew about the
botched police raid that left an innocent woman handcuffed with no clothes on. She called what happened in that home a colossal failure and has ordered changes to make sure it doesn t happen again.
But some are accusing her of scapegoating and hypocrisy.
Twenty-four hours after claiming she only learned about the case of Anjenette Young on Tuesday, Mayor Lightfoot admitted she didn t remember the case until seeing the video for the first time this week and reviewing emails. I don t have any specific recollection of it, Lightfoot said. It was in November when I was probably focused on budget issues and getting our budget passed through city council.
