Van Dyke's lawyer fights to reverse the conviction of another Chicago cop

The man who led Chicago Police Officer Jason Van Dyke's defense team found himself back in a courtroom Tuesday, asking a panel of judges to reverse an imprisoned Chicago cop's conviction.

But this time, lawyer Dan Herbert wasn't fighting for Van Dyke. Instead, he was working for Marco Proano, who last year became the only Chicago Police officer in recent history to face federal prison time for an on-duty shooting.

Proano, 43, is in a low-security prison in Loretto, Pennsylvania, according to the Bureau of Prisons. U.S. District Judge Gary Feinerman sentenced him to five years behind bars after a jury found him guilty in August 2017 of using unreasonable force when he wounded two teenagers in an on-duty shooting in December 2013.

Even though Proano's trial preceded Van Dyke's by roughly a year, it still seemed to play out under the shadow of Van Dyke's looming prosecution. That's because the two men share a defense lawyer - Herbert.
