Wait - He Was Guilty?

Bet the jury never hears about this one:

• A man who says that he was beaten into confessing to a pair of killings by detectives working under disgraced former Chicago Police Cmdr. Jon Burge pleaded guilty to one of the 1990 murders today -- even though he still insists he is innocent.

  Flint Taylor, one of Cortez Brown's lawyers, claimed his client only pleaded guilty to murdering Curtis Sims so Brown could start a new life as a free man as soon as possible.

Uh, yeah. I'm guilty, but I'm really not, and I want to be considered "time served" so I can sue someone for something.

• Assistant Attorney General Vincenzo Chimera presented evidence linking Brown to Sims' murder, specifically pointing to a 9mm Taurus used in the shooting that was purchased by Brown's mother just weeks before.

Golly, that's an odd set of coincidences.

Or it's a stinking pile of horseshit.

We're going to go with door #2 on this one.
