Another 19 people had their criminal convictions vacated as part of a review of convictions tied to a crooked Chicago cop, former Sgt. Ronald Watts, Cook County State's Attorney Kim Foxx said Tuesday.
More than 100 people with over 133 cases have had their convictions vacated since 2017, as prosecutors reviewed misconduct by Watts and members of his unit, according to Foxx."We were able to provide the relief to right the wrongs of the past but make no mistake, this is a sorrowful, sorrowful moment knowing that these individuals will never get that time back in their lives," Foxx said.
