Illinois high court ruling offers new hope to inmates
The Illinois Supreme Court ruled Stanley Wrice can pursue a new hearing on evidence of torture during his 1982 confession, a decision defense lawyers say could revive dozens of similar Burge torture claims. Prosecutors contend there was proof of guilt without the coerced confession. The ruling signals a potential path for new hearings or trials for inmates alleging torture by Chicago police.
