From the Tribune Editorial Board: Some senior citizens in jail deserve another look at their sentences. But Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx has done little to engender trust when it comes to keeping violent offenders off the streets.
Cook County State's Attorney Kim Foxx departs a news conference in Chicago on March 15, 2022.
The problem is that the office of Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx has done little to engender trust when it comes to keeping violent offenders off the streets. In a different context, her new initiative would have received a far more sympathetic reception across the political spectrum. But Foxx only has herself to blame for that.
Some have argued that this is not the job of a prosecutor and that such a mechanism already is in place. The governor can pardon the offender. That’s true, but such pardons should be rare, and no one should be under the illusion that such decisions can be made without the influence of political campaigning and influence peddling.
