Chicago prosecutor says CTA janitor's murder exposes broken electronic monitoring
Original: Cook County State's Attorney Eileen Burke says murder of CTA janitor proof that electronic monitoring system is broken
Cook County State's Attorney Eileen Burke said the murder of a Chicago Transit Authority janitor is proof that the area's electronic monitoring system is broken. She argued the killing shows serious flaws in how suspects on electronic home monitoring are supervised. The case has reignited debate over the use of ankle monitors instead of detention for defendants awaiting trial in Cook County.
Why now: The killing of a CTA worker by someone allegedly on electronic monitoring has renewed public anger over pretrial monitoring practices.
