Another issue concerning the Burge verdict
No, this has nothing to do with the actual torture, for once. What disturbs me nearly as much is the idea that Jon Burge didn't just torture suspects to elicit forced confessions; by doing so, he also let the actual perpetrators of such crimes safely fade into the background while innocent men took their place in prison.
Even if Burge actually had the perpetrators dead to rights, he also handed them a Get of out Jail Free card that they could use years later.
Unsurprisingly, a grand jury might be taking a second look at some of Burge's subordinates.
