The ABC7 Chicago I-Team revealed Monday the opening punch in a public relations campaign targeting Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson.
A social justice organization has come out with a video, urging Johnson to stop spending hundreds of millions of dollars pursuing people already cleared in criminal cases.
The video campaign, entitled “Dear Brandon,” goes straight at Mayor Johnson. This first episode, which dropped online Monday afternoon, features James Gibson, who served more than 29 years for a double murder before it was determined he’d been tortured by Chicago police into confessing.
As the I-Team has reported, City Hall continues to fight cases such as Gibson’s, long after the wrongly convicted have been found innocent.
“Dear Brandon, my name is James Grant Gibson. I served 29 years, four months and seven days of illicit prosecutions, of false imprisonment and torture. I’ve been issued a certificate of innocence, exonerated. I’ve been awarded $200,000 from the state of Illinois. So what is there to re-litigate against the city now?” Gibson says.
