I just wrote a blog yesterday called Humbling Moments. I’m not trying to blog you guys to death but more or less provide you with an important update. Last week I posted my Freedom of Information Act Appeal. If you have not seen this post please take a look. It has a lot of relevant information to the corruption of the Sheriff’s office back in the 80s. It also reads like an excellent true crime novel. It’s just unfortunate for the Scharffs and Freemans that this is our real lives.

 

Here is the link to the Appeal

Today I received a letter from Lisa Madigan, Attorney General of the state of Illinois. My assertion in my appeal was that I was improperly denied information. Good news to me, the Attorney General agrees. In their statement it says we have determined that a further inquiry is warranted. They are requiring the McHenry County Sheriff’s office to provide all responsive records un-redacted for review. They also requested a detailed factual basis for them asserting their denial. I wouldn’t call this a victory but it’s certainly not a defeat. It is right where we need to be still in the game. Down below you’ll find links to the letter from the office of the Attorney General to the Freedom of Information Act officer in McHenry County Sheriff’s office. As my appeal progresses I will keep you all posted. As always thanks for listening.
