- Wondering what Chicago police are hiding from you in discovery? This CLE, presented by Illinois Legal Aid Online and First Defense Legal Aid, provides attendees a look at the what, where, and how of police records in lawsuits against the Chicago Police Department.
Chicago attorney H. Candace Gorman reviews the types of documents that should be in CPD investigative files and what to do if those documents are not turned over in multiple contexts, including how to use FOIA, how to follow up on inadequate FOIA responses, some of the tricks CPD uses to avoid providing documents, and how to follow up when the police are not giving you in discovery what they should.
Nice to hear somebody who actually cares
Awesome you helped this man, to many attorney's only want the money and won't fight for their client like they should,
The court's are very corrupt and don't care if a person is innocent, they still convict a innocent person and it doesn't bother them.
I honestly don't know how they can sleep at night, they must not have a conscience.
You sound like a lovely lady and person thank you.
I can testify that this comment is true.
Just found this conference and enjoyed it very much. Not being an attorney, I would not have ever thought of all the evidence that is possible to aquire through FOIA. THANK you very much.
Even as a non legal professional, I find this video is a absolute treasure of information by real world practical example. Only wish I could find a firm and CZcams resources just like this specific to my home state of Michigan. There are a lot of universal truths here I will use in my FOIA requests.
Thank you so much for making this lecture available to the public on CZcams.
Listened to this. I am very grateful for the time you took to share this.
Thank you VERY much.
you are an angel for many souls whose only hope to have peace in their hearts is by what love youve shown them through your work
The whole state hides every thing! I’m more Midwest well right here in Madison County I am fighting on my own now! Every Lawyer I had has failed me! Lied! I am physically disabled by a officer who broke into my house handcuffed me physically abused assaulted me and tazed me all while I was handcuffed! I just say tyvm to The Illinois Supreme Court for changing the rules and statues of limitations! I lost the videos from my attorney and the witnesses statement! Thank you so much for US Marshal who contacted me what happened! I can’t file while I my spine is being replaced and the eye I lost, my laungue I was kidnapped held for 3 days in a cell no toilet, no water, no food, soaked in my own blood urine and just so much !! PTSD is real and and difficult to cope with! This happened to me on 8-28-2017 I didn’t find out even my very first lawyer lied to me and never filed! So I have begged for help no lawyer wants a police brutality case even though I have a witness every thing that happened to me in jail was on video cameras every where I will never get that back!! I do still have my witness though and all my paperwork from the ER , surgoun well surgouns! Thank you so much for the ILLINOIS Supreme Court for supporting us because we cannot file while we are being treated and learning to heal! And thank you again to the US MARSHAL who has been by my side for years now and is now fighting with me! Stop saying that lawyers will help you they don’t I have signed with many!! Thankfully a senior paralegal contacted me and gave me what she found in the basement and gave me what was left of my file and she told me that I deserved it and getting a lawyer in Madison County is very difficult file on your own! She said my file was in between files that were never to be found and took her and her friend and her niece 3-4 hours to find!
Thank you for all the value and personal experiences you provided
Very Informative, thank you!
I've learned alot about FOIA requests. Thank you.
Unbelievable, our country needs a new reset especially in law enforcement
When peoples lives are on the line police should not be able to do shoddy records keeping
If only you can help me here in California bc I’m going through this right now and they are hiding so much Information.
Do they make it that way to keep to confuse ?
Iv been looking for this video , i first watched it years ago and i could never find it again. Maybe its reposted or censorship......
