Weis Relents, Hands Over List

Chicago Police Superintendent Jody Weis has relented and given a judge a list of all Chicago Police officers who have had five complaints (or more) cited against them since 2000. A judge hearing a lawsuit against a CPD officer for excessive force had originally asked Weis for the list, but Weis refused to hand it over, claiming it would harm the department; Mayor Daley backed him up. Yesterday, though, a federal judge held Weis in contempt of court and ordered he hand over the list before the morning of Monday, March 9.
