CHICAGO (AP) A former federal prosecutor was named Wednesday to investigate the Cook County state’s attorney’s office for wrongdoing during the aborted re-trial of a man accused of killing two Chicago police officers.
Judge Alfredo Maldonado appointed Lawrence Oliver to investigate the prosecutor’s office and a former employee who allegedly lied on the witness stand during the third trial of Jackie Wilson.
Former Assistant State’s Attorney Nicholas Trutenko in October testified he had a personal relationship with a jail informant who helped convict Wilson at a second trial in 1989 of the 1982 murders of Officers William Fahey and Richard O’Brien. O’Brien and Fahey were shot during a traffic stop by Wilson’s brother, Andrew. He died in prison in 2007. The charges against Wilson were dropped as a result of Trutenko’s testimony.
