CHICAGO (AP) — A former Chicago police commander in federal prison for lying about the torture of suspects by officers under his command is expected to be released Thursday, his lawyer said.
Jon Burge has served more than four years on a conviction of perjury in connection with testimony he gave in a civil case involving torture allegations. His lawyer, Richard Bueke, said Wednesday that Burge’s family notified him that the ex-lieutenant, who was convicted in June 2010, will leave prison Thursday.
