Police Torture Victim Darrell Cannon Railroaded Back to Prison: Speakers Include: Locke Bowman, Director MacArthur Justice Center, Penny Crowder, Darrell's Fiance, Professor Lance Williams, Inner City Studies

POLICE TORTURE VICTIM DARRELL CANNON
RAILROADED BACK TO PRISON

In spite of the fact that Darrell Cannon is serving life sentence on the basis of a false confession that was tortured out of him with an electric cattle prod to his genitals and severe beating by veteran Chicago Police Detectives Michael Bosco, Daniel McWeeny, Peter Dignan, John Byrne and now diseased, Detective Yucatis, and in spite of the fact that Prosecutors made a deal with Cannon back in 2001 that guaranteed his release from prison in 2003, the Parole Board has decided that he should remain behind bars indefinitely. One of Cannon’s attorney’s Locke Bowman said that it is outrageous that the Board would rule that this overwhelming evidence of torture is somehow irrelevant. Without the forced confession, “what do you have left? Nothing…” Today, Cannon is back at Tamms Super maximum Facility, hoping that those of us out hear will cry out loud and hard enough to shake the rafters of whatever ceiling of justice remains above us.
