Cook County State's Attorneys Office Slammed

Chicago Magazine reports:

As prosecutors prepared to announce charges in the 1993 murder of Tricia Pacaccio, the parents of the slain teen blasted the Cook County State’s attorney’s office for failing to act on a 2003 match between the primary suspect and DNA discovered on their daughter’s fingernails.

“My husband and I both feel that what Cook County did is, once they found DNA, instead of pursuing [the suspect] Michael [Gargiulo], they made false excuses on why DNA was on her. How pathetic,” said Tricia’s mother, Diane, in an exclusive statement given Thursday to Chicago.

Great moments in Crook County.
