Norberto Rodriguez Armed and Dangerous?

Two weeks have passed since Irma Rodriguez was found shot gang land style stuffed in the trunk of her car.

No press conference by the Oak Forest Police. No release of Norberto Rodriguez's photo. No talk of a reward. Not one word of where this former Chicago Police officer could be living after he murdered his wife.

On June 9th, family members in fear for their lives filed a court order of protection in Will County, Illinois in case Rodriguez suddenly appears. Perhaps the family can meet with law enforcement and have the case information posted on America's wanted with his description and photo.

A man takes a life paralyzing not only a family, but a community. It is likely Norberto Rodriguez is also armed and dangerous. Where is the outrage?

Murder Suspect Represents Himself: Murder of Nailah Franklin

Reginald Potts, arrested for the murder of Nailah Franklin, asked a Judge in Cook County to represent himself in his own defense. Potts stated he did not want a Public Defender representing him in the murder trial.

This is about an arrogant abusive individual who will stop at nothing. In this case he is going for a rather unique play in the courts. My guess is Reginald Potts has studied all his options and he is betting on a mistrial or wiggle room to file an appeal for another trial.

Nailah Franks also deserves justice. A victim of domestic violence, her body burned and left in the Calumet River, discarded because she stood up to an abuser.

I am confident the Cook County State's Attorney will hit a home run when he presents his case in February of 2009.
