Eileen O'Neill Burke

The suspect, Shavaz Campbell, was wearing an ankle monitor with multiple active curfew violations when the attack happened.

State's Attorney Eileen O'Neill-Burke says the system is broken and is calling for permanent legislative changes.

So joining us to weigh in on this is Illinois House Representative Patrick Windhorst and Cook County Public Defender Sharone Mitchell Jr.

Thank you both for being here.

And I expect we're going to see a number of amicus briefs.

Eileen Burke, who is the Cook County State's Attorney, has already specifically identified Everytown for Gun Safety, Brady, and Giffords as organizations that are collaborating with the Cook County legal team.

So they're almost certain to file amicus briefs.

We'll see, in fact, I think we'll probably see not just the major gun control groups, but the minor gun control groups as well.

the Cook County gun ban in Viramontas, right? The Second Circuit Court of Appeals upheld Connecticut's gun ban in Grant v.

Higgins.

So State of Connecticut, William Tong, the Attorney General there, Eileen Burke, again, the Cook County State's Attorney, they can largely rely on what those appellate courts said in upholding these bans.

They can argue that these guns aren't protected by the Second Amendment.

I hope that when I'm mayor of Chicago, people who believe in law enforcement and are mission driven are going to be like, hell yeah.

It's the equivalent to when Eileen O'Neill Burke got elected state's attorney.

There was a mass exodus of prosecutors because they're like, we signed up to be prosecutors, not defense attorneys.

And this was not what I signed up for, right? I wanna go after bad criminals, not let them out.

Now, one of the problems, which they didn't really address, is that people, particularly in Cook County, are placed on electronic monitoring, where they have these devices on their ankles that are supposed to keep track of them, and there's a huge percentage of them who get lost, where there's, that nobody knows where they are, and they wind up committing crimes when they're supposed to be watched.

And one of the things I found interesting is that the Cook County State's Attorney, Eileen O'Neill Burke, who is a, a Democrat, has also asked lawmakers to amend these electronic monitoring laws.

Bailey says the whole thing should be repealed, and that it should be up to the law enforcement people to have a bigger say in how do we handle folks who are charged with crime.

And of course, Pritzker's response, which has been consistent whenever this issue of the Safety Act comes up about whether people should be, uh, let out without having to put up cash, is that if you go back to the old cash bail system, the most violent criminals can still buy their way out of jail.

The fatal stabbing has ignited outrage after authorities revealed Campbell was actively on electronic monitoring with at least four pending probation violations for curfew breaches.

Cook County State's Attorney Eileen O'Neill Burke and union officials demanded legislative reform to fix monitoring loopholes, while Mayor Brandon Johnson vowed to enhance transit safety.

In Delaware, police arrested two teenagers after surveillance cameras captured masked individuals carrying what appeared to be assault rifles approaching homes in a late-night prank.

The incident unfolded in the Mallard Point development of New Castle late Friday when residents on Canvasback Drive reported a masked suspect carrying an apparent rifle knocking on doors before running away.

Our residents know it, and now our workers are demanding action as well.

The only one who seems to be oblivious to all of this is Mayor Johnson, all of it, and all of his lefty allies, who are now not only going after Chicago's spending to, to stop violence, um, but also going after the county saying that we shouldn't spend more money, uh, supporting the sheriff, supporting State's Attorney Eileen O'Neill Burke to keep criminals away, that we should be focusing on programs, programs that, by the way, don't work, don't convince people not to kill anyone, and do not do anything for children whose parents are not paying attention.

You, you as a, uh, as an alder, not an alderman, not an alderwoman-

He's an alderman
