Finally, justice is catching up with Jon Burge, the former Chicago police commander responsible for torturing as many as 148 (mostly African American and Latino) defendants in Area Two in the 70s and 80s. Yesterday, Burge was indicted on charges of obstruction of justice and perjury. In spite of evidence revealed by a special probe to the tune of $7 million, Burge and his subordinates have eluded justice because state and federal statutes of limitations have long expired.
