Woman who stole cop car and ran over cop acquitted by reason of insanity; hired by Chicago!

Black female judge rules black woman who stole police car, ran over Chicago cop, drove 90 mph down expressway and crashed not guilty by reason of insanity

Yesterday in the Democrat-ruled shithole of Chitcongo a black female judge issued a directed verdict (i.e. no jury) that a Whitley Temple--accused of attacking a Chicago police officer, stealing his squad car, and dragging him with it--was not guilty due to insanity.

Temple's defense attorney said his client was "in a psychotic state" at the time.

Hey, totally understandable:  Mental illness can strike at any time, and is totally debilitating.  Nothing is real to a person in the grip of mental illness.

But surprisingly, that's not the most notable thing about this story.  Instead it's that the city of Chitcongo *hired this mentally-ill woman earlier this year.*

Seriously.  She was hired by the city's "Department of Family and Support Services" as a lead accountant.  So...she's so mentally ill that a black judge declares her not guilty of what were serious crimes due to insanity, and yet a city agency hires her as a "lead accountant"?

She was fired in March after someone realized she was mentally ill.  But when asked if the city knew about the pending felony charges against her when they hired her, a spokesperson said they couldn't comment on personnel matters.

This is why it won't get better anytime soon, if ever: the system we depend on to make good decisions is both corrupt and totally incompetent.
