Chicago police torture allegat
Chicago: Leroy Orange says there is no mystery about how he landed on death row and languished there for almost two decades.
The 55-year-old ex-inmate claims Chicago police in 1984 jolted him with electric shocks from a mysterious "black box" until he confessed to a murder that he did not commit. He is free now, cleared of all charges by Governor George Ryan in his final days in office four years ago. But his story is far from over.
Lawyers for Orange and two other men claim the city reneged on a $14.8 million (Dh54.3 million) deal to settle their lawsuits - among many claims that Chicago police tortured suspects in the 1970s and 80s.
Orange's attorney, G. Flint Taylor, said a federal judge witnessed the deal with the city. Chicago's top attorney Mara Georges acknowledges city officials were in negotiations aimed at reaching a settlement. But she said she cannot talk about details because US District Judge Marvin E. Aspen, the mediator, imposed a confidentiality order.
Still, she insists, "It is our position that we absolutely do not have a settlement." US District Chief Judge James F. Holderman told attorneys on Thursday he would hold an evidentiary hearing if necessary to get to the bottom of the matter.
That could require city officials to answer questions under oath.
Allegations of torture by detectives at the Area 2 violent crimes unit on Chicago's South Side, under Lieutenant Jon Burge, have simmered for decades. Mayor Richard Daley has been dogged by claims he knew about or helped cover up torture that occurred when he was Cook County state's attorney 20 years ago.
