Freed inmate names Burge, Daley in new torture suit - Chicago Breaking News

Ronald Kitchen's federal lawsuit also names as defendants a number of officials who Kitchen contended knew what Burge was doing, including Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley, who was Cook County state's attorney for part of the time a jury determined that police were torturing suspects. The suit alleged Daley's office concealed evidence that criminal suspects were being beaten.
