Seeking the resignation and investigation of Anita Alvarez due to the high rate of false confessions in Illinois, the high rate of strong armed plea agreements, the failure to prosecute when provided proof to do so and for allowing the mass incarceration of innocent black and Latino men and women at alarming rates.
Why is this important?
Anita Alvarez has allowed for the arrest and prosecution of hundreds of thousands of innocent men and women, upon information and belief. She has allowed and even pushed for her staff, defense attorneys, public defenders, paid attorneys and judges to gain wins through forced confessions, forced plea bargains and by any means necessary tactics. She has avoided the prosecution of judges, attorneys and others who are politically connected to the justice system, who have been proven to have acted unethically and/or committed actual crimes. Anita Alvarez wants to win at all costs regardless of a persons innocence and she selectively prosecutes by protecting her friends regardless of their guilt. We ask for the investigation and resignation of Anita Alvarez and for the re-opening and/or overturning of cases in which parties can provide proof that they did not receive fair proceedings. We also ask for a special election to replace Anita Alvarez at once. Respectfully submitted by the people of Illinois and all concerned citizens.
