A Man Who Served 36 Years in Prison Claims He Was Tortured Into Giving a False Confession for the Murder of Two Police Officers
A victim of torture by Chicago police officers under the command of convicted perjurer Jon Burge has filed a federal lawsuit against city officials and Cook County prosecutors, lawyers for Jackie Wilson announced Wednesday.
Wilson claims he was tortured into making a false confession for the 1982 murder of two police officers. He spent 36 years in prison.
“To say I’m hurt is an understatement,” Wilson said during a Wednesday news conference. “All I am looking for is justice. All I have ever looked for is justice.”
