There is no room in the justice system for the likes of either Alvarez or McGinty.

Unlikely at best

Oh, well. Too bad for him. In hindsight, it might not have been such an unlikely outcome if people had done their jobs right, you think?

... And chose to punish him.

Doesn't mean that a conviction would have been any more likely.

Why do you think he acted the way he did in the first place?

But I think it's becoming clear that it will be harder to get away with that. The voters are sending a message, loud and clear.

... Based on legality and not emotion.

It's not as if people can't be angry for factual reasons. So, the voters, some of whom would have been members of the jury, took care of the problem and fired him. It's like I said. They can't always get away with it anymore.

... That he is reasonably certain he won't win?

Is that the message civilized society wants to send, especially since the CPD is already known for being corrupt and hostile to the community?

And with a presentation of witnesses and evidence might be able to secure an indictment of the cops who peremptorily shot a kid for playing in a park. It's not like there's a statute of limitations on murder.
