Chicago Police commander to stand trial on brutality allegations
Posted December 06, 2015 10:00 pm
A Chicago Police commander is expected to stand trial Tuesday over allegations that he jammed a gun down a suspect's mouth and held a Taser to the man's groin.
Glenn Evans - one of now-ousted police Supt. Garry McCarthy's most trusted commanders - drew headlines last year when he was charged with official misconduct and aggravated battery of Rickey J. Williams.
The public's attention on how Evans' bench trial unfolds may intensify with the nationwide scrutiny over the dashcam video that shows Chicago Police Officer Jason Van Dyke shooting of Laquan McDonald, 17.
