Blind Spot Update

Back on Dec 20 with regard to Rahm’s son getting #CrimeIsDown’d, we suggested, “we wouldn’t be surprised if this strong-arm robbery gets downgraded to theft, lost property or just goes away completely.”
“Just goes away completely”, come on down! You’re the next contestant on #CrimeIsDown!
“Chicago Police questioned an 18-year-old man in connection with last month’s robbery of Mayor Emanuel’s son and released him Tuesday evening without charges, according to a police source.
Police spokesman Marty Maloney denied an arrest had occurred and did not answer other questions from RedEye. Representatives of the mayor did not return requests for comment.
When reached by RedEye, the 18-year-old’s mother confirmed police took her son into custody Monday to question him about a stolen iPhone. She said she didn’t know the questioning was related to the Emanuel case.”
Obviously, there could be nothing here and that’s why the honor student was released into the custody of the local library. However, our spidey-sense tells us they’d rather have this go away than risk any sort of criminal trial. After all, who knows what would come out during various hearings and proceedings.
