The city of Chicago spends nearly $40 million a year on outside legal council for lawsuits, most of which are against the Chicago Police Department.
CHICAGO -- Video shows Ariel Roman was unarmed when he was shot by a Chicago police officer more than two years ago. He sued the city and the officers involved. The court docket shows little progress has been made on the case, but the city's legal tab to outside law firms is already hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Chicago police officer Melvina Bogard was charged in the shooting. She has pleaded not guilty. CPD recommended firing Bogard and Bernard Butler, the other officer involved. That case is pending in front of the police board. Through April, the city has forked over nearly $250,000 to two outside law firms involved in this case, according to information received from a public records request.
An I-Team data analysis shows during a five year period nearly $200 million was spent by the city on outside legal counsel. Of that, 75% was for police department cases.
