Massive payouts were given to avoid litigation because of the wrongdoing of police officers decades ago.
CHICAGO â The City of Chicago has forked over tens of millions of dollars in recent years to people wrongfully convicted because of actions by Chicago police.Members of the City Council have asked whether the police officers involved in these cases are still getting their city pensions.It's a question they haven't gotten an answer on until CBS 2 went digging.
The answer was five reverse conviction cases, and, not counting the cases of Hood and Washington, there were 10 other cases pending against the former detective.As the hearing wrapped, Mitts asked one last question.'He's receiving a pension?' she asked.The response: 'That's a question for the Pension Board. I can't answer that,' Felker said.Mitts asked if the city could find out that information, but it's been six weeks, and she still doesn't have an answer.
