It’s a scene likely too grisly even for a Quentin Tarantino movie.No word yet on this story from the "only police should own handguns " crowd.
But the feds say they caught it on tape: former Chicago cop Steven Mandell and an accomplice, gleefully plotting to mutilate a kidnap victim’s genitals.
A court filing ahead of Mandell’s trial, which is scheduled for next month, includes a gruesome transcript of Mandell chatting on Oct. 25, 2012, with codefendant and former Willow Springs cop Gary Engel about how they’d torture the unnamed victim in a purpose-built killing chamber in the 5300 block of West Devon.
Prosecutors have previously alleged that Mandell and Engel — who both lost their jobs as cops when they were disgraced in the 1980s — were posing as police officers when they were arrested a little over a year ago, moments before they planned to kidnap the wealthy victim. They planned to torture him into handing over real estate, then kill him, the feds say.
