Chicago Police Detective Reynaldo Guevara is accused of framing at least 51 people for murder. When a group of mothers, aunts and sisters found that no officials — not the state's attorney's office, not the mayor's office — wanted to take up their cause, the women went in search of justice themselves. Next week a man convicted in one of Guevara’s most dubious cases will be in court for what could be his last chance at freedom. Will prosecutors continue fighting to keep Roberto Almodovar behind bars?

DECEMBER 23, 2013

The retired detective sits slightly hunched, his eyes darting between the attorneys who the city of Chicago sent to defend him on one side of the table and the lawyers suing him on the other.

The law office conference room is sparse, with nothing on the walls, and cold. The detective’s black windbreaker fights the chill. His once thick sable hair is thin and gray. A fine gold chain around his neck is the only visible relic of what he once was: the strutting, bejeweled, loudmouth detective every gangbanger on Chicago's Northwest Side knew could Fuck. Him. Up. For life.

His voice, once bellowing, registers a few decibels lower as he states his name for the record.

"Reynaldo Guevara. G-U-E-V-A-R-A."

5. I wonder if he was taught by John Burge - notorious Chicago cop who did

the very same thing a generation back.

6. Hard to know. Chicago cops have a history of doing bodily harm to people..and

getting away with it. Awful, Awful, and more Awful....

7. Killing is Killing..This guy seems to have the same mindset as Putin. and Trump...

Trump didn't care about lives lost when he said it was... all a "hoax"

What did Trump do to stop the virus?........Trump didn't care
What did Putin do to stop the killing in Ukraine? Putin doesn't care.
What did Guevara do to stop sending innocent people to jail? (People that he knew were innocent? ...He didn't care

8. This sounds like so many of the kids I used to be around at the school.

They would be yelling to each other in the hallway, strutting around like they were on a Broadway stage. Screaming and running around like a pack of wildcats on the playground. Yet, once they were in the classroom and you asked them to read a simple passage, or answer a question... you got this timid, quiet whisper from someone who would not look up or offer anything other than what I asked. That guy used to be BMOC... well, the ranking was removed and reality has arrived. And, all he can do is sit like a little kid who didn't do his homework. (Why some of these psychos are truly surprised when this happens is still both stunning and hysterical to me. As the modern saying goes... FAFO!)
