Cop Who Oversaw The Torture Of 118 Black Men Freed After Less Than 4 Years In Jail
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/news/jon-burge-police-torture/
James Gibson has been incarcerated for over 26 years. For a murder which he DID NOT commit. James' accuser, Anthony Holmes, a former gang member arrested by Burge in 1973 told the Chicago Tribune he was tortured after being taken to a police station where detectives hooked him to an electrical box, pulled a bag over his head and shocked him over and over again until he confessed to a murder he hadn’t committed. Holmes eventually spent 30 years in prison for the killing he was tortured in to admitting." He has since, been released from jail.

This man was accused of murder he did not commit & has spent 25 years behind bars.
He would've been out in less than 1/2 this time, if he would only confess.
Given the incredible price he has paid, it's safe to say he didn't do it.
He is part of the legendary Jon Burge Police Torture Case. Burge served time for his crimes but, this victim remains. James' accuser admits to being tortured. His accuser 'confessed' under torture & was released.
"Burge was convicted of perjury for lying about police torture that he oversaw. He was sentenced to four and a half years in prison for that charge alone.
On Thursday, one of Burge’s victims stood at city hall and recalled to reporters the emotional and physical pain he’d endured at the hands of Burge and his men.
Anthony Holmes told the Chicago Tribune that he had been a former gang member arrested by Burge in 1973. He said he was taken to a police station where detectives hooked him up to an electrical box and had a bag pulled over his head. Holmes said the officers shocked him over and over again until he confessed to a murder he hadn’t committed.
Holmes, now nearly 70 years old, said he remembers Burge calling him the N-word and warning him not to bite through the bag over his head.
“I need some help,” Holmes told a crowd of reporters at city hall yesterday, according to the Tribune. “I try to hold my emotions back because I don’t want people to see me like that. … My family has been through a lot.”
Holmes eventually spent 30 years in prison for the killing he was tortured in to admitting."

Sarmarra Burks. My uncle was beaten and burned, I saw him after he was sent home and after his arrest. I have been to so many court hearing, jail visits, and prison visits. The first hearing was a fiasco. I just knew the judge would set him free after the original suspect and Eric Johnson's sisters perjured themselves because that's what a judge does right? Wrong!
- When the judge said to my Uncle "I will never let you free because you're a sorry loser."
- When his attorney said, "Somebody has to go to jail because a white man was shot."
- When the police beat the snot out of my uncle and burned his tattoo off with an iron yeah I realized, the world wasn't fair for people of color and they didn't even care.
- When people lie and are a part of what happens, you ask constantly, "Why won't they just tell the truth?"
- When people in power are involved you wonder, "How do they sleep at night knowing what the did?"
- When your career was advanced on the back of another human-being's freedom, you should ask yourself, "Do you ever think you will get caught or is your victory bitter sweet?"
- When people don't rally behind you to free a torture victim, you wonder "Do lives REALLY matter to them?"
- When someone is tortured on American soil and the people in authority essentially get away with it, "You wonder about people who are supposed to serve and protect"
- Hundreds of people were tortured under the rule of John Burge. He was only convicted of perjury; not torture.
