Will Grigg?s Liberty Minute

March 7, 2011

Seven years ago, Chicago resident Richard Venecko committed an unprovoked assault that ended in the death of David Koschman. Venecko was roughly a foot taller and one hundred pounds heavier than Koschman. Only one punch was thrown, but Koschman?s head hit the pavement hard enough to result in a fatal brain injury. Venecko and his friends then fled the scene.

For seven years, Chicago Police have known that Venecko committed the assault; during that entire period, he has refused to cooperate with the investigation. Venecko is not required to incriminate himself, yet it is inexcusable for the police to close a homicide case without ever interviewing the suspect.

The details of this case were suppressed by the police, including the name of the suspect, until the matter was pried open by the Chicago Sun-Times. Venecko is a nephew of both Chicago Mayor Richard Daley, and of White House Chief of Staff Bill Daley.

Remember this story next time we?re told that our legal system is based on ?equal justice under the law.?

Let us take back the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free.
