from In the Loop with Sasha-Ann Simons
Between January 2019 and June 2024, Chicago taxpayers have paid $200 million dollars to more than three dozen people who were wrongfully convicted. And dozens more lawsuits are expected. Reset hears why advocates Mark Clements, community organizer at the Chicago Torture Justice Center and Joey Mogul, counsel at People’s Law Office, say these payouts are still necessary in the midst of a budget shortfall and what could minimize the amount the city owes. For a full archive of Reset interviews, head over to wbez.org/reset.
