Two lawyers paid $30,000 for Panther case
Two Cook County state’s attorneys were approved for more than $30,000 each to defend in the 1969 Black Panther civil suit. John P. Coghlan and Joseph S. Witkowski earned the payments for June and July as the case awaits a U.S. Court of Appeals ruling. The county board, 14 to 2, backed the payouts, with George W. Dunne noting the potential higher loss if the county loses. Mary McDonald and Carl R. Hansen opposed portions of the action.
