In a federal courtroom this week, two police whistleblowers are trying to prove the Chicago Police Department observes a code of silence to cover up misconduct.
Meanwhile, in every corner of Chicago outside that courtroom, proof of the code pops up all the time. While the code is usually blue — one cop covering up for another — sometimes it shades toward purple — a cop covering up for a firefighter. It's a kind of professional courtesy.
Just this week, City Hall disclosed that the third highest-ranking member of the Chicago Fire Department got really drunk one night last month and crashed a city-owned SUV in Lincoln Park.

If you — John Q. Citizen — did that, the cops on the scene would immediately administer a sobriety test and charge you with drunk driving. But the firefighter, John McNicholas, was not administered a Breathalyzer test until four hours later and was not charged with drunk driving.
If that looks like preferential treatment, it surely is. When McNicholas finally was tested, his blood-alcohol level was 0.154, nearly twice the standard at which you are presumed under the law to be driving drunk.
McNicholas resigned as deputy commissioner after the crash and agreed to a "full separation" from the Chicago Fire Department.
Nobody can seriously question anymore whether a code of silence exists within the Chicago Police Department. Not after a long string of slow-walking, look-the-other-way public scandals, from Jon Burge (tortured suspects) to Anthony Abbate (beat up a bartender) to the cops who ran the David Koschman death investigation (gave a mayor's nephew a pass) to the Laquan McDonald shooting (took forever to release a damning video).
It is almost comical that Mayor Rahm Emanuel is trying to duck having to testify to an indisputable fact — yeah, there is a code of silence — in the federal trial. The only real question is how far it goes.
The trial centers on allegations by two police officers that they were punished by their supervisors after helping federal investigators convict two cops of stealing money from drug dealers.
Lawyers for the city have already admitted to the court that a code of silence exists, but it is "not pervasive, widespread."
Who's telling the lawyers that?
A lot of the same folks who claimed for years there was no code of silence at all.

The botched investigation of a death involving a nephew of former Mayor Richard M. Daley is now part of a federal whistleblower lawsuit filed by two police officers who say a "code of silence" permeates the Chicago Police Department.
The two cops argued in a court filing Monday that former police Cmdr. Joseph Salemme, a defendant in their case, should have to testify about his role in the reinvestigation of the 2004 death of David Koschman, who died after being punched by Daley nephew Richard J. "R.J." Vanecko. The city opposes jurors hearing such details.
Salemme retired in December, avoiding a one-year suspension he faced over his handling of the Koschman case five years ago.
He was one of six cops Koschman special prosecutor Dan K. Webb said he decided not to charge with official misconduct or obstruction of justice because he didn't think he had enough evidence to convict them.
Detectives under Salemme's command wrongly concluded in 2011 that Vanecko punched Koschman in self-defense, and they included a fabricated witness statement in their final report. Salemme has denied any wrongdoing in the case, in which Daley's nephew avoided criminal charges for nearly a decade, until a judge brought in Webb to investigate.
Salemme is among a dozen former and current Chicago cops being sued by Officers Shannon Spalding and Daniel Echeverria, who claim their bosses retaliated against them for violating a departmental code of silence by cooperating with the FBI in a criminal case involving other officers.
Webb's report on the Koschman case "implicates Salemme as part of the cover-up, consistent with the code of silence, regarding the misconduct of the investigating officers involved in fabricating a self-defense determination for refusing to arrest Mayor Daley's nephew for murder," according to their motion Monday.
Spalding and Echeverria sued the city four years ago after helping federal investigators convict two cops of stealing money from drug dealers. After Spalding and Echeverria returned to their jobs, they say they were punished by their superiors, including being assigned to night shifts and spending entire shifts in a windowless room. They also said fellow officers told them police commanders had warned them not to respond if Spalding or Echeverria called for backup.
Mayor Rahm Emanuel might also be called to testify in their case because he has acknowledged a code of silence exists within the department.
After Webb declined to charge any cops in the Koschman case, Emanuel and former police Supt. Garry McCarthy directed City Hall Inspector General Joseph Ferguson to investigate the officers for potential disciplinary action.
In December, Ferguson urged interim Supt. John Escalante to impose discipline up to firing for Salemme and five other cops. Escalante moved to fire three of them. Salemme and two others faced yearlong suspensions. But Salemme, a 30-year veteran, decided to retire and now collects a city pension of $162,684 a year.
Koschman died in May 2004, 11 days after he was punched in the face by Daley's nephew during a drunken argument on Division Street at Dearborn. The case remained an unsolved homicide until the Chicago Sun-Times asked to see the files in January 2011, prompting the police to order a new investigation headed by the detectives under Salemme's command.
A judge appointed Webb as special prosecutor in 2012. A grand jury indicted Vanecko, who pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter in January 2014, then served two months in jail.]]>

Two months ago, then-interim Chicago police Supt. John Escalante handed down a one-year suspension to a detective involved in the botched investigation that cleared former Mayor Richard M. Daley's nephew in David Koschman's death.
But Escalante later signed off on a deal that will allow the detective, Nicholas Spanos, to shave as much as 10 months from that suspension, according to a city inspector general's report released Monday.
Spanos "has exercised an 'options' discipline approved by" Escalante, Inspector General Joseph Ferguson wrote under which the detective "will be taking two calendar months of the suspension as unpaid leave and forfeiting accrued paid leave time . . . to, in essence, buy back the remaining 10 months of the one-year suspension."
Ferguson said in the report he recommended that Escalante fire Spanos, but, instead, Spanos will be back on the job "shortly."
Escalante is now new police Supt. Eddie Johnson's first deputy, the second highest-ranking position in the department.
Mayor Rahm Emanuel's Police Accountability Task Force recommended last week that Johnson develop a policy on when cops can use "options" discipline, which allows them to cash in accrued time to lessen their unpaid suspensions. Ferguson was on that task force.
Reacting to Spanos' deal, Johnson "has directed a full review" of the policy that allows police officers to effectively buy their way out of suspensions, police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said. Under that policy, Spanos — a 20-year veteran — will be off without pay for 60 days and is cashing in 1,400 hours of accrued compensation.
"As part of the department's continued commitment to restoring public trust and accountability, Supt. Johnson believes it is critically important to strengthen CPD's system of accountability so it has the rigor to effectively discipline officers when wrongdoing occurs," Guglielmi said.
Spanos and his partner, Detective James Gilger, reinvestigated the Koschman case, which was closed in March 2011 without charges being brought against Daley nephew Richard J. "R.J." Vanecko. A Chicago Sun-Times investigation prompted the appointment of a special prosecutor, Dan K. Webb, which led to Vanecko pleading guilty in January 2014 to involuntary manslaughter.
Webb said he considered charging six officers, including Spanos, with obstruction of justice or official misconduct but decided he didn't have enough evidence to convict them. Former Supt. Garry McCarthy and Emanuel directed Ferguson to investigate whether any police officers should face departmental discipline.
In December, Ferguson recommended that Escalante fire three officers — Gilger, Spanos and Lt. Denis P. Walsh — and "impose discipline up to and including discharge" against the others: Chief of Detectives Constantine "Dean" Andrews, Cmdr. Joseph Salemme and Sgt. Sam Cirone.
Under city ordinance, Ferguson can't identify the officers by name. The Sun-Times is identifying them based on details in Ferguson's report and other documents.
Escalante agreed to fire Gilger and Walsh, according to Ferguson, but both retired, avoiding termination.
Escalante planned to impose one-year suspensions against Andrews, Salemme, Cirone and Spanos, Ferguson wrote. But Andrews and Salemme retired days after Ferguson made his recommendations. Cirone, who is fighting his suspension, and Spanos aren't old enough to retire.
Ferguson found that Gilger and Spanos, along with their supervisors Cirone, Salemme and Andrews:
• "Failed to perform a competent investigation" and "failed to draft a truthful and accurate closing supplementary report," which omitted "a witness account of events that was in direct conflict with the officers' view of the case" and failed to mention that original 2004 Koschman homicide file had gone missing. The report also contained a statement that Koschman yelled "F— you! I'll kick your ass!" at Vanecko when, in fact, "there was no support for this quote."
• "Improperly recommended and approved closure of the case" even though "there was sufficient information to support Vanecko's arrest."
• "Failed to seek a charging decision" from the Cook County state's attorney despite "having, for the first time, identified Vanecko as the offender."
Additionally, Ferguson criticized Andrews and Cirone for discussing the Koschman investigation using their personal emails, which "do not have the security required for the conduct of official CPD business."
Andrews also "provided evasive or misleading statements" to Ferguson's staff, according to the report, which doesn't explain those statements.
Ferguson said he recommended firing Walsh in part because he didn't file a report with the department's Internal Affairs Division in January 2011 when Walsh discovered "that the original Koschman homicide file was missing." Walsh also "failed to timely report to IAD the later discovery of the missing Koschman homicide file" in June 2011. Walsh later took the file to his home "with no legitimate work purpose."
Ferguson also noted that Walsh remained involved in the 2011 reinvestigation "despite a superior's directive" that he play no role in the case, which had been reassigned to Gilger and Spanos, who weren't under his supervision.]]>

A judge denied City Hall permission Wednesday to release subpoenas and other documents related to the grand jury investigation that led to a nephew of former Mayor Richard M. Daley pleading guilty to killing David Koschman.
In a 21-page ruling, Cook County Circuit Judge Michael P. Toomin said the city of Chicago law department had no "compelling authority or argument" to release the records to the Better Government Association — even though another Cook County judge, Mary Mikva, ordered the city to do so last year.
The BGA has been seeking subpoenas and emails that city officials exchanged with Dan K. Webb, the special prosecutor in the Koschman case, under Illinois' open-records law. When the city rejected that request, the government watchdog group sued, and Mikva ruled the documents should be made public.
Mikva's ruling forced City Hall's lawyers to turn to Toomin for permission to release the records, which he ordered remain under seal in 2012 at the request of Webb. The special prosecutor opposed the city's request to release the records, citing state law that preserves grand-jury secrecy.
In denying the city's request, Toomin said, "A dangerous precedent could be set — a precedent that would threaten to erode the integrity of more than 800 years of well-settled grand jury traditions."
Toomin also denied the BGA's request for him to make public all grand jury materials in the Koschman case, not just the limited set of records covered by Mikva's ruling.
Daley nephew Richard J. "R.J." Vanecko pleaded guilty in January 2014 to involuntary manslaughter. That was nearly 10 years after he punched Koschman outside the late-night bars along Division Street, causing Koschman to fall and crack his head on the pavement.
While Daley was mayor, police and prosecutors twice investigated the case, both times declining to charge Vanecko. Webb didn't charge any law-enforcement officials with wrongdoing in their handling of the case, but City Hall Inspector General Joseph Ferguson recommended discipline against six police officers. Four retired. Two are fighting suspensions.]]>
Sam Cirone and Denis Walsh had no business teaching other cops how to be good detectives.
It is more than a little disturbing that the Chicago Police Department couldn't see that, allowing Sgt. Cirone and Lt. Walsh to teach detective classes for years even as they were being investigated for possible obstruction of justice in one of the most politically sensitive homicide cases in Chicago history.
You have to wonder how interim Supt. Eddie Johnson ever hopes to reform a police department that could so blatantly turn a blind eye to ethical common sense. You have to wonder why Johnson's first deputy, John Escalante, allowed the two officers to teach. Escalante headed the detective bureau, which oversaw the training sessions, at the time Cirone and Walsh were instructors.
What exactly did they teach? How to make stuff up in a police report? How to take department files home and stash them away?
Follow @csteditorials
If Johnson, in cooperation with an ongoing federal civil rights review, is sincere about changing the department's ethically-challenged culture, he will have to dig deep. And he had better not worry much about being popular.
Cirone and Walsh first teamed up as "class presenters" in a detective training session on Jan. 9, 2013. This was about a month after Richard J. "R.J." Vanecko, a nephew of then-Mayor Richard M. Daley, finally was indicted for involuntary manslaughter in the 2004 death of 21-year-old David Koschman. At the time Cirone and Walsh began teaching, a special prosecutor, Dan K. Webb, was digging into why the police — including the two officers — had failed for years to charge Koschman.
Cirone and Walsh continued to teach even after Webb, having completed his report, said he had considered charging them with obstructing justice or official misconduct but decided he didn't have enough evidence to convict. But in his report, Webb cited Walsh four times as being involved with missing files. And he pointed to Cirone's involvement in the writing and approval of a police report that included an apparently fabricated quote from Koschman — "F— you! I'll kick your ass!"
Only after City Hall Inspector General Joe Ferguson, in September 2014, began looking into whether any cops in the Koschman case should be disciplined did Cirone and Walsh stop teaching, recusing themselves from the rotation of instructors. But not completely. They taught one more class on March 27, 2015.
Walsh retired from the police department in February rather than be fired. Cirone is fighting a one-year suspension.
We can't help but wonder whether their influence lives on, for better and worse, through the detectives they taught.]]>

Sgt. Samuel Cirone is fighting a one-year suspension from the Chicago Police Department over his role in the creation of a bogus police report that shielded former Mayor Richard M. Daley's nephew from criminal charges in the death of David Koschman.
Lt. Denis P. Walsh — who was once accused of sexually assaulting a gas station clerk in Michigan and ended up pleading guilty to lesser charges — admitted stashing Koschman case files at his Northwest Side bungalow. That blunder led him to retire in February rather than be fired.
Yet over the past three years, the police department repeatedly tapped Walsh and Cirone to lead one-day training courses for detectives on "interviews and interrogations," "homicide/death investigations" and "police-involved shootings," records obtained by the Chicago Sun-Times show.
And they kept being called on to teach detectives even after special prosecutor Dan K. Webb said he considered charging them with obstructing justice or official misconduct in the Koschman case. Webb ultimately decided he didn't have enough evidence to convict them and left it to City Hall to discipline them.
Under the watch of former Supt. Garry McCarthy, Walsh and Cirone jointly taught 11 "pre-service" and "refresher training" classes at the police academy for detectives. The refresher classes were all for "lead homicide investigators." Cirone also taught two additional classes by himself.
All but two of the classes were held while John Escalante headed the detective bureau, which oversaw the training sessions. Escalante is now the department's second-in-command after serving as Mayor Rahm Emanuel's interim police superintendent following McCarthy's Dec. 1 firing.
Police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi had no explanation as to why Walsh and Cirone were allowed to teach while under investigation, other than to say, "Supervisors within the entire bureau of detectives rotated through as class presenters."
Walsh and Cirone both carried clout in the police department. Each had received so-called merit promotions, based on recommendations from a higher-ranking official, rather than test scores. And both men's fathers also were Chicago cops.
Walsh and Cirone got involved in the Koschman case in January 2011. That was after the Sun-Times asked to see files on Koschman's killing, which had gone unsolved for nearly seven years.
Walsh told his commander he couldn't find the original files — many of which turned up six months later.
Then-Supt. Jody Weis ordered a reinvestigation, and the case was assigned to detectives under Cirone's supervision.
On Feb. 28, 2011, the Sun-Times published the first of dozens of stories about the police department's handling of the case, which Cirone's detectives closed the following day, wrongly asserting that Daley nephew Richard J. "R.J." Vanecko had punched Koschman in self-defense.
The Sun-Times investigation led to Webb's appointment as special prosecutor and Vanecko's indictment for involuntary manslaughter, guilty plea and 60-day jail term.
Webb also focused his investigation on the police officers and prosecutors who failed to charge Daley's nephew.
During Webb's investigation, Walsh and Cirone teamed up as "class presenters," starting with a "pre-service" detective training session on Jan. 9, 2013 — about a month after Vanecko's indictment.
Two months later, the Sun-Times published a story detailing Walsh's 2004 arrest on a charge of criminal sexual conduct. He'd been accused of groping and licking a female gas station clerk near Kalamazoo, Michigan, in an incident caught on security surveillance video.
Walsh could have faced up to 15 years in prison if convicted of that felony charge. But the victim stopped cooperating with authorities, and Walsh ended up pleading guilty to two misdemeanors. He also was handed a 30-day suspension by then-Supt. Phil Cline.
Walsh and Cirone taught four classes together between October 2013 and Jan. 31, 2014 — the date Vanecko pleaded guilty, admitting he killed the 21-year-old Koschman.
They taught another five classes between February and June 2014 — all after Webb released a 162-page report on his investigation that cited Walsh four times as being involved with missing files from the Koschman case.
Webb's report also detailed late-night messages that Cirone exchanged from a personal email account with his boss, then-deputy Chief of Detectives Constantine "Dean" Andrews. Those emails said Koschman yelled "F— you! I'll kick your ass!" before "breaking away from his group of friends and aggressively going after Vanecko" in the early morning hours of April 25, 2004. That statement ended up verbatim in the final police report, approved by both Cirone and Andrews, who closed the case without charging Vanecko.
Webb found no evidence Koschman said that.
After Webb decided not to charge Walsh, Cirone, Andrews or anyone else from the police department involved in the 2004 and 2011 investigations of Koschman's killing, McCarthy asked City Hall Inspector General Joseph Ferguson to determine whether any cops should be disciplined.
Ferguson's investigation began in September 2014. At that point, Walsh and Cirone stopped teaching, according to the department.
"While Lt. Walsh and Sgt. Cirone were among the supervisors that initially rotated through this training, the bureau of detectives advises they voluntarily recused themselves as presenters during the inspector general's investigation," Guglielmi says.
But Walsh and Cirone did teach one more class, on March 27, 2015, as Ferguson was still investigating them, the records obtained by the Sun-Times show. It's unclear why.
After finishing his investigation in December, Ferguson recommended that six cops be punished, including Cirone and Walsh.
In February, Escalante moved to fire Walsh, who decided to retire at 52 and begin collecting his pension.
Escalante also recommended a one-year suspension for Cirone, 47, who's challenging that before the Chicago Police Board and remains on the payroll.
City Hall's inspector general urged that six cops involved in the 2011 reinvestigation of David Koschman's death face departmental discipline. Four of them retired, avoiding punishment. The other two — Sgt. Samuel Cirone and Detective Nicholas Spanos — have been stripped of their police powers and are facing one-year suspensions but remain on the city payroll. A look at the payouts to the cops who retired:
Chief of detectives Constantine "Dean" Andrews, 51
Final salary: $185,364 a year

A government watchdog group is urging a Cook County judge to make public all records that special prosecutor Dan K. Webb gathered in his investigation of David Koschman's death, but Webb's trying to keep them secret.
Webb says none of the records should ever be made public. They include former Mayor Richard M. Daley's statement to a grand jury about his actions during the time the Chicago Police Department was investigating his nephew, Richard J. "R.J." Vanecko, in Koschman's death.
But the Better Government Association "questions what legitimate purpose is served by any further secrecy surrounding this matter," BGA attorney Matthew Topic said in a court filing this week that notes the case is now closed and Vanecko has done jail time.
"The public interest in full disclosure of these records is tremendous, especially in the present environment, in which instances of police misconduct have been so graphically exposed," Topic wrote.
He argued in the motion filed with Cook County Circuit Judge Michael P. Toomin that the special prosecutor's office "has no good-faith basis to keep secret information about its work here and should be asking this court to allow [it] to release all of its records. The investigation and prosecution are over. The public deserves to know every detail."
Toomin appointed Webb special prosecutor in 2012, leading to Vanecko's guilty plea to a charge of involuntary manslaughter.
The judge now is weighing whether the city of Chicago can give the BGA subpoenas and emails that Webb exchanged with city officials during the Koschman investigation.
Toomin previously ruled the subpoenas couldn't be released to the Chicago Sun-Times, saying Illinois law prevents grand jury material from being made public.
The BGA challenged that finding in a lawsuit seeking the subpoenas and other documents, and another Cook County judge, Mary Mikva, ruled in December that, under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act, the city must produce the records.
Because Mikva's ruling is at odds with Toomin's order, Mayor Rahm Emanuel's law department is asking Toomin for permission to give the BGA the subpoenas and emails.
Before making a decision, Toomin asked Webb and the BGA to weigh in.
In his response filed Monday, Topic went beyond asking for the records that Mikva said should be released, asking that all records involving the Koschman grand jury be made public. He noted that Webb already has released portions of the records in a 162-page report about the case he released under orders from Toomin.
Beyond the statements from the former mayor and other Daley family members, the grand jury records also include reports of interviews with police and prosecutors, including former Supt. Phil Cline and Cook County State's Attorney Anita Alvarez, and Vanecko's cellphone records. Webb's team interviewed 146 witnesses and amassed 300,000 pages of documents.
Webb — now working under contract with City Hall to review how the city law department handles police misconduct cases — urged Toomin to keep the records secret, citing the need to preserve grand jury secrecy.
"Nothing presented to this court . . . trumps the importance of maintaining grand jury secrecy," two deputy special prosecutors, Daniel D. Rubinstein and Sean G. Wieber, wrote in their filing Monday. "The city's interest in avoiding a contempt filing related to Judge Mikva's 2015 order compelling the city to produce certain grand jury materials simply does not tip the 'equities' in favor of disclosing the grand jury materials . . . because the enduring interest in secrecy is so great."
It's unclear when Toomin will rule.
The lawyers who successfully petitioned Toomin to appoint a special prosecutor, based on a Sun-Times investigation, also have called on the judge to release all grand jury records regarding Webb's investigation.
"We strongly support any and all efforts to obtain the public release of the records from the long-completed grand jury investigation into the unjustified killing of David Koschman and the coverup that followed," said G. Flint Taylor and Locke Bowman, attorneys for David Koschman's mother, Nanci Koschman.
Usually, grand jury material gets released when a case goes to trial. But there was no trial in Koschman's death because Vanecko pleaded guilty in January 2014.
That was nearly 10 years after he punched Koschman outside the late-night bars along Division Street, causing Koschman to crack his head on the pavement, resulting in his death.
While Daley was mayor, police and prosecutors twice investigated the case, both times declining to charge Vanecko.
Though unusual, there are cases in which grand jury material has been released even when no charges are filed — notably the St. Louis County prosecutor's decision to release records in the death of Michael Brown, an unarmed black teenager killed by a white cop in Ferguson, Mo.
Clout is a Chicago word that is often misunderstood.
It does not mean you have political power. It means you know somebody who has political power — power you can tap to bend the rules.
As the legendary Chicago columnist Mike Royko once wrote, the best way to explain clout is through examples of how it might be used in conversation:
"Nah, I don't need a building permit — I got clout in City Hall."
"Lady, just tell your kid not to spit on the floor during trial and he'll get probation. I talked to my clout and he talked to the judge."
Dan K. Webb, the former U.S. attorney who moves in Chicago's most exclusive legal and political circles, undoubtedly understands this distinction — some people have clout while others are the clout. Webb is not new to town.
Why then did Webb conduct an investigation into a wrongful death case that reeked of clout yet climb only so high up the ladder of Chicago's power structure?
Why did Webb finally press criminal charges against a man who enjoyed great clout — a mayor's nephew — but not do all he could to learn how that clout may have worked, at the highest levels, to shield the nephew from being charged for more than eight years?
As a special prosecutor in 2012, Webb led a grand jury to charge Richard J. "R.J." Vanecko with involuntary manslaughter in the 2004 death of 21-year-old David Koschman. Vanecko threw the punch that led to Koschman's death. In his final report, Webb also singled out for shame a handful of mid-level cops who had slow-walked or bumbled two previous investigations.
But Webb treated Richard M. Daley, Vanecko's uncle, with kid gloves. Though Daley was mayor at the time Vanecko killed Koschman — and during the subsequent years of a possible cover-up — he was never forced to testify before Webb's grand jury. Nor were eight other Daley relatives who found themselves in the middle of this case.
Instead, interview transcripts and "voluntary sworn statements" that Daley and his family gave Webb were read to the grand jury. And the contents of those interviews and statements have never been made public, which is indefensible.
We believe the entire grand jury record, totaling thousands of pages of evidence, should be released to the public, including the statements from Daley and his relatives. The people of Chicago have a right to know, as best can be determined, what exactly a sitting mayor said and did when the police — who ultimately answer to him — were investigating his sister's son for homicide.
All excuses for keeping the records secret no longer hold water. No criminal or civil cases and no disciplinary actions would be compromised. Vanecko has served his time and is on probation. Four police officers have retired to avoid punishment and two others are fighting suspensions. A civil suit brought by Koschman's mother was settled months ago.
Cook County Circuit Judge Michael Toomin has the authority to unseal the records, and we urge him to do so immediately.
Judge Toomin, who appointed Webb as special prosecutor in the first place, was convinced that something smelled in the way the police and county prosecutors had failed to charge Vanecko for years.
"Quite simply, we have a dead body," Toomin said at the time. "This is not a whodunnit. We know who done it. There's a known offender and yet no charges."
Toomin smelled clout. That would be our guess. We're smelling it still.]]>

The investigations of David Koschman's death are over: Former Mayor Richard M. Daley's nephew is on probation for involuntary manslaughter, four cops have retired to avoid punishment for their roles in the case, and two others are fighting suspensions.
But thousands of pages of evidence remain walled off from public view under the state's grand-jury protection law, including statements from Daley and his relatives.
Dan K. Webb, the Koschman special prosecutor, won't say whether he'll ever ask Cook County Circuit Judge Michael Toomin to unseal the records and allow the public to see evidence he gathered involving two botched police investigations of the case.
Webb says he can't say because he's fighting the Better Government Association, which is suing him, Mayor Rahm Emanuel's office and the city's law and police departments to obtain documents including subpoenas Webb served on the city.
State law bars releasing grand jury material. But Webb could seek a waiver from Toomin to do so.
"We strongly support any and all efforts to obtain the public release of the records from the long-completed grand jury investigation into the unjustified killing of David Koschman and the coverup that followed," said G. Flint Taylor and Locke Bowman, attorneys for David Koschman's mother, Nanci Koschman. "We urge Dan Webb to petition the court for that release."
Usually, grand jury material gets released when a case goes to trial. But there was no trial in Koschman's death because Daley nephew Richard J. "R.J." Vanecko pleaded guilty in January 2014.
Though unusual, there are cases where grand jury material has been released even when no charges are filed — notably the St. Louis County prosecutor's decision to release records in the death of Michael Brown, the unarmed black teenager killed by a white cop in Ferguson, Mo.
The Koschman records would reveal the names of all 146 people Webb interviewed and what they said.
They include Vanecko's cellphone records and testimony of his friends who lied to the police and also would show what Daley and his family members told Webb. Daley and his relatives gave written statements that were read to grand jurors.
Citing state law and a Toomin order, Webb and City Hall refused to provide any documents to the BGA. But Cook County Judge Mary Mikva has ruled in that case that Toomin's order was too broad and that subpoenas and emails between City Hall and Webb's team should be public. City attorneys said last week they will ask Toomin if they can release those.
Mikva also ruled the state's Grand Jury Secrecy Act prevents Webb from providing other records the BGA wants.
Nearly a month after Mikva's Dec. 17, 2015, ruling, Emanuel's top lawyer, Stephen Patton, hired Webb and his firm, Winston & Strawn, to review the law department's federal civil-rights litigation division after a federal judge ordered a new trial in an unrelated case in which a city attorney concealed evidence from a jury that refused to award damages to the family of a man killed by two Chicago cops.
U.S. District Judge Edmond Chang's ruling raised questions about whether the law department was protecting a police department under fire for covering up police misconduct.
If Webb finds wrongdoing by the law department, he'll report that to City Hall Inspector General Joseph Ferguson, who assisted in the Koschman investigation.
Koschman, 21, died in May 2004, 11 days after being punched by Vanecko, who ran off. The case remained an unsolved homicide until 2011, when the Chicago Sun-Times asked to see case files. That prompted the police to close the case without charging Daley's nephew.
A series of Sun-Times stories revealed inconsistencies in the department's 2004 and 2011 investigations. At Koschman's mother's request, Toomin appointed a special prosecutor, Webb, who convened the grand jury that indicted Vanecko.
Toomin has allowed the limited release of grand jury material, including a 162-page report he ordered Webb to produce.
Toomin gave Ferguson permission to include some grand jury material in a report that recommended firing or suspending six officers involved in the 2011 reinvestigation.
On Feb. 9, Toomin released transcripts of grand-jury testimony and summaries of interviews from a dozen members of the police department so they could be used by the law firm City Hall hired to handle disciplinary cases before the Chicago Police Board.
Those transcripts were to become public if ever "filed before the police board." But it's unclear whether that will happen. Four cops retired and, as a result, disciplinary charges against them had to be dropped. Two more are fighting one-year suspensions.

Three names that will not be on the ballot on March 15 should guide your choice in the Democratic primary for Cook County state's attorney:
Laquan McDonald.
Rekia Boyd.
David Koschman.
All three of these young people were killed on the streets of Chicago. The first by a police officer who shot him 16 times. The second by an off-duty police officer who shot into a crowd. The third by a mayor's nephew who threw a fatal punch.
In each case, as the Sun-Times has documented exhaustively over the last several years, the Chicago Police Department and Cook County state's attorney's office were slow to respond, slow to investigate and slow to press criminal charges.
In each case, the public was left to wonder whether those who wear uniforms of blue or enjoy special clout are held to account as fully as the rest of us. In each case, the public's confidence in our local criminal justice system took a beating.
Today, because this cannot go on, we are endorsing Kim Foxx, a former chief of staff to Cook County President Toni Preckwinkle, over incumbent State's Attorney Anita Alvarez. In a contentious race, Foxx has made clear she understands what this election is all about: Restoring faith in the state's attorney's office.
Alvarez, try as she might, will never be able to do that — she's just in too deep.
Also running in the Democratic primary is Donna More, a former assistant U.S. attorney and state's attorney who has spent the last 20 years representing the gaming industry. She hasn't prosecuted a case in 25 years.
Foxx has sufficient professional credentials to take on the job. She served as an assistant state's attorney for 12 years, from 2001 to 2013, working as a prosecutor and administrator, mostly in the juvenile bureau. She gained essential large-scale management experience as Preckwinkle's top aide.
Foxx has inflated her record as an assistant state's attorney, which has become an issue in this race. She did not try "hundreds of cases," as she once claimed, certainly not in the sense of actually taking a case to trial, with a jury or judge rendering a verdict. Almost every case she handled was settled before then.
But there also is no question Foxx served a dozen commendable years in that office. Nor is there doubt that the changes she proposes for the office are promising. She would call for a special prosecutor to handle all police-involved shootings. She would establish a special unit to handle gun trafficking cases. She would "focus on bringing charges" against a handful of suburban gun shops that are the source of a disproportionate number of the guns used in local violent crimes.
Foxx would bring a holistic approach to the business of fighting crime in Cook County, much as her mentor, Preckwinkle, has. She emphasizes that her "first responsibility" is to "keep our communities safe," but says that is often best done by finding alternatives to incarceration for non-violent offenders, especially those who are young.
"Decades of data shows clearly that longer sentences do not necessarily make us safer," she writes in her Sun-Times questionnaire. "Illinois should take the lead in reversing the trend toward longer sentences, especially for offenders who pose little to no risk to public safety."
Foxx was born to a teenage mother and grew up in Chicago's Cabrini-Green public housing project, where she says she developed "a deep understanding of the impact of crime, violence and poverty on our communities." She has been, she says, "both a victim of violent crime and a prosecutor of violent criminals." This would be no small advantage for Foxx as state's attorney — this ability to understand and empathize from personal experience — at a time when many Chicagoans feel a deep distrust in law enforcement.
Our purpose here is less to criticize Alvarez's performance as state's attorney than to argue in favor of Foxx. Alvarez has strongly defended her actions and inactions. Her frustration — if people only understood how this job really works — is palpable.
But we have listened hard to her defense, and we're still waiting on better answers.
Why did Alvarez take more than a year to bring charges against the officer who killed Laquan McDonald? A video recording caught it all — right then and there.
Why did Alvarez take almost two years to bring charges against the off-duty officer who killed Rekia Boyd? The officer remained on the job the whole time.
Why did Alvarez reject any suggestion that Richard J. Vanecko, a nephew of then-Mayor Richard M. Daley, committed a felony crime when he threw the punch that led to David Koschman's death? She objected to the appointment of the special prosecutor who finally brought Vanecko to justice.
And so it goes. In an election that is about setting things right, it becomes necessary to spell out what's gone wrong.
In her eight years as state's attorney, Alvarez has pursued too many doubtful prosecutions and defended too many wrongful convictions. She has imposed roadblocks on others who have sought to determine whether innocent men are languishing in prison because of statements extracted through police torture in the 1970s and 1980s.
In 2012, the TV news show "60 Minutes" called Chicago the nation's capital of false confessions.
Alvarez dragged her feet on releasing the Dixmoor Five, a group of teenagers convicted of a 1991 rape and murder, until long after DNA testing implicated a convicted rapist as the real killer. Her office fought for years to keep Daniel Taylor in prison for a double murder he couldn't have committed because he was in police custody at the time. She overcharged the so-called "NATO Three" — a collection of goofs — with terrorism. And when a former gang member, Willie Johnson, came forward to recant testimony he had given 15 years earlier, Alvarez prosecuted him for perjury.
Once a leader in law enforcement loses the trust of a community, fairly or not, that leader should know to move on. So it was for former Police Supt. Garry McCarthy, whom Mayor Rahm Emanuel had to fire, and so it is now for Anita Alvarez. People are marching in the streets.
Kimberly Foxx offers a fresh start for an office that has lost its way.]]>

I may have been called the white girl Beyoncé.
I'm a writer and a musician (ukulele, vocals, and the meanest kazoo you've ever heard! The shittiest piano player you've ever heard--seriously, I only use that beast for writing music).
I sing in a band (quirky, campy, theatrical torch songs infused with soul, blues, cabaret, throaty vocals, horns).
I'm completing my hours to be a Pilates instructor.
I have an overdeveloped sense of wanderlust, and love to try new things. I make stuff, like costumes, paintings, and weird impossible projects that become possible through doing them. Does that make sense? I can explain...
Basically, I'm doing things that make me a happier, better person so I can change the world when I grow up.
Singing in the shower
Laughing (either loudly with my mouth open or quietly with my hands covering my mouth and tears everywhere...usually uncontrollably)
Being the best aunt ever.
Learning new things
Remembering dialog from movies and song lyrics
Inventing breakfast food
Collecting shiny objects
Parallel parking
Forgetting people's names but remembering our conversations.
My giant heart.
Green eyes.
Super tall.
Goofy uncontrollable facial expressions that make it impossible for me to fool anyone.
Or if I'm meeting someone after performing... My PIPES!
The last guy I dated noticed my bodacious butt first, and my eyes second, closely followed by my great sense of humor.
Movies- Citizen Kane, Airplane!, Some Like It Hot, Strictly Ballroom, Dr. Strangelove, Team America, anything choreographed by Busby Berkeley, the Big Lebowski, Evil Dead 2, American Hot Wax, musicals, Kung Fu Hustle

How to be my most authentic self and give the best to every situation.
Vandalizing Penske trucks to make them into Fenske trucks (I call it, operation Fenske the Penskes).
How to make the world a better place.
What am I going to write about?, how to get through awkward moments gracefully, end of the world mythologies, what to learn next.
you are anything like my first love, Indiana Jones.
Here's the deal: I'm looking for something extraordinary. A man who knows how to love a strong, quirky woman. A hopeful romantic with a wicked sense of humor.
Bonus points if you want to chop wood with your shirt off while I watch. Drool.

(April 7, 2010)--The UTSA Department of Music will host a free, brown-bag lunch concert, "Beethoven in the Ballroom," from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., Thursday, April 8 in the University Center Ballroom (1.104) on the Main Campus. The UTSA community is invited to bring lunch to this come-and-go event and enjoy performances by UTSA piano students of selected sonatas by Beethoven.
The musical performances will be supplemented with a simultaneous slide show presentation featuring basic descriptions of each work.
Ludwig van Beethoven's 32 piano sonatas include some of his most popular compositions. They also contain many of the most difficult technical hurdles in the standard piano repertoire.
In the sonatas, Beethoven experimented with the technical capabilities of pianists and of the piano itself. Stylistically, his use of form and harmony were consistently progressive and his development of the genre as an expressive device paved the way for romanticism in the 19th century.
Because of the popularity of Beethoven's 32 piano sonatas, concert series featuring them have become somewhat common. Groups of musicians or soloists have produced concert series where the sonatas are performed chronologically or grouped by other various criteria.
This two-hour concert, inspired by these marathon concerts, will let the audience sample Beethoven's monumental achievements within the piano sonatas. Join us for this special opportunity and experience.
The UTSA Interactive Technology Experience Center camps are for curious youth who are interested in STEM and related topics. This week, campers will study environmental science, robotics and computer science.
UTSA Main Campus
In four sessions of this weeklong day camp for 9 to 13-year-olds, campers will participate in indoor and outdoor activities while exploring ancient technologies from around the world and the new technologies archaeologists are using to discover them.

Good 3.9 /5 from 76 reviews
Cold water shower, overly expensive dinner and options were few, tasted awful. Don't eat dinner there.
the hotel location is next to the archeological site and very close to the rail and bus transportation to nearby sites (vesuvius and herculaneum) shopsand restaurant close by safe location really enjoyed this hotel with it's spacious rooms and amazing breakfast staff were extremely helpfull when any situation came up during our 3 days stay fully recomend this hotel
My friends and I were driving through Italy starting in venice and trying to go to the Amalfi coast and needed a place to stay for the night. We decided to stop in Pompeii. This hotel had that smell of an antique shop in a fishing town. Yes it's close to the water and it's humid, but it permeated everything. The pictures of this hotel were slightly deceptive. The inside was decorative but our room had poor decor. The beds were horribly uncomfortable. We had a triple that was really two single beds pushed together and the worst roll away you've ever had in your life. It was super saggy. There was mold in the bathroom. Typical Mediterranean bathtub with the shower head on a chain, no shower curtain. Breakfast was a few pastries, two kinds of meat two kinds of cheese. No fresh fruit or food. There is parking which is great. The plaza in front is a tourist trap so it gets very loud in the morning. I would not stay here again.
Traveling with family of 4. Hotel location was perfect, just outside the Porta Marina. Has free parking if driving. Hotel itself was somewhat dated and in need of a renovation in general. The room as ok with a bit of a damp smell. The apparent cleanliness of the room was below expectations but ok for one night stay. The bathroom looked recently renovated and clean but with a hand shower. The free Wi-Fi was terrible and did not work in the room only at the front lobby. There isn't much around the hotel but there was a nice restaurant across the street at a campsite. The hotel outdoor restaurant also had some great pizza. Lots of stand vendors around the hotel area outside so be prepared to haggle. Hotel was perfect for one night stay and seeing Pompeii on a day trip with an overnight stay.
A scary place to stay. Air conditioning wasn't working well. Hotel seemed dirty and not well maintained.

Celeste Quarnberg's Reviews > The Shadow Wife
The Shadow Wife
by Diane Chamberlain (Goodreads Author)
by Diane Chamberlain (Goodreads Author)
Celeste Quarnberg's review
Feb 03, 2011
Read in January, 2011
I have enjoyed the writing style of Diane Chamberlain in the past, and I really liked this book as well. There were some parts that I didn't love or believe, thus the 3 stars only. However, it did suck me in towards the end. I figured out what the "surprise" ending would be before it ended, but I loved how Chamberlain wrapped it all up. It is such an interesting story and the whole plot twists with relationship dilemmas, love as well as the problems/tragedies that can happen between couples, friends and twins is so believable. Fun and easy read!

This really is THE i ching!!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The I Ching or Book of Changes (Bollingen Series (General)) (Hardcover)
I've only had this book a week or so and it is truly a fantastic translation, written with both clarity and insight. Many versions of the I-Ching are hard work and can actually put you off attempting to use the oracle ever again. Not so with this one. There is a real sense of movement contained within the text, that breathes both life and depth into this inspirational classic. Carl Jung's introduction is not to be missed either. If you can only afford one translation make it this one.

But it would just be something that I looked at, like, "ooh, neat...now what?" But old tyme modder Jeffrey Stephenson has another idea.This particular radio actually has a PC inside. So while the exterior is a tribute to the Ingraham Cabinet Co, an influential design company behind many wooden radio cabinets of the 30s and 40s, the interior houses a 1.6GHz VIA, 4GB of DDR2 RAM and a 64GB SSD. The silver gleam of my aluminum Mac was alluring at first, but I can't help but to admire the timeless beauty of American black walnut construction. Lots more photos of the build process at the link.

Shabbat & Holiday Times
Chabad.org Jewish Apps
- March 17, 2015
( 602)
The Shabbat & Holiday Times app will quickly and easily get you the times you need for the upcoming Shabbat and Jewish Holidays.
Times are automatically selected based on your current location and you can choose to show times for any other location worldwide by entering a city or US Zip code.
Times are automatically selected based on your current location and you can choose to show times for any other location worldwide by entering a city or US Zip code.
The app lists both Shabbat and holiday candle lighting as well as the time the Shabbat or holiday ends. It also provides quick access to more information on the upcoming Parshah (weekly Torah reading) and Jewish holidays from the wealth of information provided by Chabad.org.
Use this app to get accurate Shabbat times, powered by the #1 Jewish website Chabad.org.
If you are experiencing a technical issue, please contact us at email@example.com and we will work with you to resolve the issue. We appreciate you not leaving negative feedback.
Shabbat time Gives name of parsha, time to light candles, havdalah, multiple weeks. Once loaded can save several weeks times for offline use. **Edit on 5mar15. New update load next does not work when on wifi. **Edit on 14Apr15. New update, 15B0316, ability to load multiple weeks for offline use works properly connected to data or wifi.
Update problem I love this app. I've had it in the past and is been perfect but this time, it didn't tell me when Hanukkah was and now it won't update my times. When I get into the app, it tells me there was a problem and if I wanna use my previous location but it's showing two weeks ago and won't update. Please fix
Something is wrong I have used this app on other devices without issue. But I just tried it on my new phone and it cannot find my location. I have an Alcatel Fierce xl.
Edit: formerly: Geolocation on Marshmallow (6.0) doesn't work. Confirmed by a friend with the same version. Now=: This has been fixed by the developer after notifying them. Great service!
GPS problem When set on GPS location, gives the correct location, but times are out by 1 hour.
No longer shows the correct time Loved this app in the beginning, but now it shows shabbat times one hour before it actually starts.
Create recurring events according to Hebrew dates and sync to Google calendar!
Convert Gregorian to Hebrew date and Hebrew to Gregorian date easily and quickly

I wonder if it is still shorts covering? Short interest was 4m, we are at over 10m traded today. I would think they would have covered by now.
The only nice thing about this buyout is there is nowhere to go but up, we got some coupons coming and a possible (but not sure how likely) another offer.
We are completely de-risked.
im gonna go ahead and sell my dec 10s here before the close....im tired of it and there is some wacky action in the calls ...the dec 12.5 s are actually down

They gave us another hotel because they had some problems with our room, the switch was fast and good with a taxi and new hotel was good. But they anoied us with not understand that we had booked 2 rooms, and wanted us to pay again for one of the room. Our booking was in one reservation, but they got divided it into two from their agency. Two days later we found out that, not them, this a professional reception should know.
The hotel in general is a good place to stay. Located in a walking distance to Center, beaches, main road, etc.. Recommended.
old rooms but good location. staff can be helpful. or not

My works cover a variety of styles and subjects . Character tree studies and evocative local landscapes feature along with the 'Curious Country' collection.
Often a scene that attracts the eye fails to look the same or convey the mood or feeling when shown as a photograph. By applying textures and colours to the original photograph in the same manner as a painter applies paint and strokes to a canvas I aim to recreate a true feeling for the mood, character and ambience of the original scene. Of course there are times when it is possible to capture the scene and little work needed to convey these feelings in the photo, these images also are part of me collection.
You are welcome to view my art photography in a working studio, please call or send a message to make an appointment.
