Pincham, Grant say Ryan youth bill lacking

Pincham, Grant say Ryan youth bill lacking

Gov. Ryan's signing of a bill requiring youth younger than 13 to have a lawyer present during police questioning falls short of "true justice" for wrongly accused children as long as the law is silent on "rogue" cops who lie and frame innocent victims, two prominent Black lawyers said Sunday.

Former Illinois Appellate Court Justice R.
