Report on Mayor’s Handling of Civil Rights Cases Released 

By Bill Cameron, WLS-AM News

(CHICAGO)  Former U.S. Attorney Dan Webb’s report on Mayor Emanuel’s handling of civil rights cases in the City Law Department has been released. However, Webb’s report is not very critical.

“I did not find any evidence of any systemic or intentional misconduct and trying to intentionally conceal evidence. I just didn’t find it,” Webb said. “I found evidence that mistakes were made in discovery and sometimes documents did not get produced, but I found no evidence that there was any systematic or plan or system to conceal evidence. I found no evidence to that at all.”

Yet Webb has more than 50 recommendations for improvement, especially in better ways to connect lawyers with the evidence they’re seeking.
