Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx has pulled the prosecutors handling murder cases stemming from a Chicago police officer's killing.
In 2011, Officer Clifton Lewis was shot in a botched robbery while working a second job in a West Side convenience store.
According to prosecutors, Clay allegedly sprayed gunfire at Lewis as the off-duty officer lay wounded behind a convenience store counter during an armed robbery of an Austin convenience store, a crime captured on harrowing surveillance video and linked to Clay by two witnesses. "The only thing they have is two corrupted witnesses, and that’s supposing one of them will testify and the other will not be significantly damaged by cross examination," Assistant Public Defender Marijane Placek said.
Reddick in recent months has shown little patience for prosecutors and CPD lawyers as attorneys for the three defendants claim to have proof investigators hid evidence from the defense. Reddick had denied Clay bond twice previously, after a 2018 ruling tossing Clay’s confession because it was made after he’d asked for a lawyer, and again after an appeals court in 2020 upheld that ruling.
