By: Andrew Weisberg Apr 8, 2013

Theft

The scenario is fairly standard: The police apprehend a suspect, the suspect is charged with theft, and the suspect then hires an attorney before appearing in a Chicago court.

However, in the case of someone who is charged with the predatory criminal sexual assault of a [...]
