Review: Paramount Room
After waiting for 26 years to earn his freedom, Alton Logan has learned some patience. Which is good, because we're pretty sure he'll be waiting for a while to get the official apology from Mayor Daley he's looking for. Daley was the State Prosecutor at the time Logan was convicted. Said Logan:
There's only one person whose mouth I want to hear that [apology] come out of, but I know he'll never say it... your mayor...He [Daley] was the man that signed the death certificate. That's the only apology I want. But I know I'll never get it.Well, at least he's realistic. For his part, Mayor Daley claims to not even remember the Logan case, claiming, "I have no idea [whether an apology is warranted]. You know how many cases we had in the state's attorney's office?" Logan also plans to pursue an official pardon from Gov. Blagojevich which would qualify him for $200,000 in compensation.
On Thursday morning, charges against Logan, who had been in prison for 26 years for a crime another man admitted to, were formally dropped and Judge James Schreier dismissed the case, saying, “Your long personal nightmare is over. Hopefully you’ll live a long life as a free man, maybe even see your White Sox in another World Series." Amen.

Logan you need to step off!
You think any body cares about what happend to you? Please, yea you may not have been a criminal at all, but you certainly was born black and poor which actually kinda makes some of this your fault.
Do you honestly think any body will care about what happend to you in a few months? Especially if the cubs when the playoffs! And screw your appology, we love Daley he puts flower pots downtown, keeps the northside nice and he's gonna bring us the olympic games. You should be happy that the nice judge said such kind words about you!
so yea your nightmare is over, so go get you a job at McDonalds and "Hopefully you’ll live a long life as a free man,( working at McDonalds) maybe even see your White Sox in another World Series" which is about all you have coming to you if that.
So move on!
