CAPS Teaches Murder Tips?

  • Could the woman accused of killing the pregnant girlfriend of former Bear Shaun Gayle have learned something about pulling off a murder when she worked with Chicago's community policing program?

    Prosecutors say Marni Yang owned a 9-millimeter gun and used it for target practice a couple of months before the murder.

    They say she built her own silencer.

    On the day of the murder, Lake County State's Attorney Michael Waller says Yang wore a wig and sunglasses, used a disposable cell phone, rented a car with someone else's credit card, and put a stolen license plate on the car.

    "She had personal involvement in the CAPS program in Chicago, and I think she learned some things that probably helped her, up to a certain point."

Gee, we must have missed those program offerings when we attended all those CAPS meetings. We remember the District Advisory Committee, the Court Advocacy, the Peer jury and any one of a hundred offerings that drained money from the city budget, but we missed the "Murder by Numbers" handouts.

There were a million things wrong with the CAPS program, from the wasting money to the pulling officers off the streets where they were needed. Some of these legitimate criticisms were addressed in part when they put CAPS on life support, but for some reason they haven't finished the job. We're afraid it's going to return from the near-dead like a typical Hollywood horror villain in a year or two.
