Changes are taking place at the Chicago Police Department, thanks to an exclusive 2 Investigators story last year.The strange gun banning town wants to put a smiley face on the fact that they have a lot of murders.More than Houston or Dallas.So,they just lie.One wonders if the cops who made up bogus murder numbers were helped in their career by this famous Chicago police officer.
CBS 2 Investigator Pam Zekman questioned if the police department was fudging the murder rate by hiding homicides. Now several cases are getting a second look.
A raging fire killed three people and a woman's body was found in a South Side swamp.
Those are just four of about 80 cases CBS 2 wanted reviewed by the police department. That's because they were apparently not classified properly as homicides despite recommendations by the medical examiner.
Last year 2 Investigators asked the police superintendent about the cases, but they only reviewed about a dozen of the cases.
