81 months and can potentially leave around ~3 years with good behavior. Bad week for justice.

Way to go judge, you dingus. That's light as hell, McDonalds Uncle spoke after the sentencing and it was good stuff.

So if I understand this correctly, had he shot him 16 times but not killed him, his sentence would have been much longer with less chance for early release

That seems to be the case. The judge says he was going by the constitution and that he would sentence only on the more severe crime which in this case was 2nd degree murder over aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. But I don't really buy that because the resulting sentence would have been much harsher for aggravated assault and I believe the spirit of sentencing the more serious offense is the one which imposes a stiffer punishment. I'm not a lawyer, but just from a common sense and spirit of the law perspective.

I thought he’d go a bit harder because he was so tough on the defense during the trial. But nope. Saying that because it’s a sentence that makes everyone unhappy it’s secretly good can gently caress off.

If you move from one Chicago ward to another between the general election and the runoff, do you reregister and vote in your new ward or do you vote in the old one?

When are you moving? You're probably supposed to register at the new address, but if you're moving like 1 or 2 weeks before election day, I would just vote with your old information. You'll never have the proper documentation in time to show you have moved.

WBEZ put up an incredibly good questionnare of all of the major mayoral candidates. They ask about police issues, taxing ride share apps, aldermanic issues, tax stuff, zoning, and more. it's a really good way to see the real differences between people who otherwise seem remarkably similar. (i'm gonna be honest, for someone who used to be Chicago Police Superintendent, Garry McCarthy had a platform much more similar to an Amara/Preckwinkle than a Fioretti/Daley) the most important question:   you would think the worst answer would be just not answering, but the judgement required to say you'd want to be Winston Churchill is actually worse than the judgement to not answer at all. meanwhile the best answer is clearly Toni Preckwinkle, who outed herself as a total nerd.

Gaytan is a personal friend of McHugh vice president Michael Meagher.

My fav part from the S-T story about Solis:quote:In late 2014, Solis allegedly placed a series of calls and texts to Caldero asking if he had any of that “blue medicine,” meaning Viagra, according to the feds. Also, the Sun-Times is reporting that Madigan's been ensnared by the Solis wire, although by Chicago/IL standards the deets don't seem all that incriminating, inasmuch as everyone already knows that Madigan is a shady-rear end mofo who solicits clients that have business before the city and state for his tax-appeal law firm.

This thread is missing something. We need a new day version of MIGF. When Rauner was first elected, MIGFwoukd spend all of the time talking about how he was just using this as a stepping stool to become President in 2016. It feels like Pritzker needs a hype man like that.

Yeah, not a good look. I'm still confident she would put together a good team to run the city, and I am somewhat understanding of personal fuckups. Her policy goals sound the best to me, and she has the least involvement with traditional Chicago politics. Lightfoot is my number 2 choice but her involvement with OPS and IPRA kinda kill it for me. Preckwinkle is #3 with obvious machine baggage like Berrios, and Mendoza #4 with similar baggage. Everyone else is either terrible (Daley/Vallas) or not a real candidate. wishing more and more that Chuy had run again
