Judge scolds Chicago police superintendent
A federal judge in Chicago scolded the city's police superintendent for initially defying a court order to turn over the list of officers who have repeated complaints filed against them.
U.S. District Judge Robert Gettleman held Superintendent Jody Weis in contempt last week for refusing to give up the list.
Weis ultimately relented and gave the list to attorneys for a woman who claims an officer beat up her children while arresting them in a playground incident.
During a hearing Monday, the judge hammered at Weis, telling him defying a court order is "absolutely intolerable" and ordered the city to pay attorneys fees for the woman's lawyers.
Attorney G. Flint Taylor says he plans to ask for $100,000.
