A specific time and location for Daley's deposition has not yet been decided.

At issue is what did Daley know about the tortures, when did he know it, and why did he fail to act on the known information about the tortures that was given to him, such as the City's Goldston Report and a letter sent to him by former Police Superintendent Richard Brzezczek.

In related news, former Police Superintendent Phil Cline is scheduled to be continue his deposition testimony about the tortures on May 23rd. Cline took over as Violent Crimes Commander in Area 2, before his rise to superintendent.

A group of long-standing civil rights activists, Black People Against Police Torture, has mobilized to demand that the City of Chicago NOT be given the 2016 Summer Olympic Games unless it comes clean on the tortures by criminally prosecuting former police commander Jon Burge and his fellow police perpetrators, ending payment of Burge's city pension, and compensating the victims. While the May 23rd and June 1st depositions fall far short of those demands, they will at least finally force Daley and Cline to testify under oath about what they knew, when they knew it, and why they failed to act.

For those of us sick of watching Daley hangers-on go all ga ga over the Olympics spectacle, watching Daley squirm over far more serious issues will be a welcome respite.

Finally, on Tuesday, April 24th attorneys for former death row inmates tortured by Chicago police will release their "Shadow Report" on police torture, addressing the numerous inaccuracies of the multi-million dollar Special Prosecutor's Report released last year. The release of the Shadow Report will take place at 9:30 AM on the 8th floor of Northwestern University's Blum Legal Clinic, 750 N. Lake Shore Drive, Chicago.
