A Cook County judge on Friday denied bail for a man who has been incarcerated for more than 10 years while awaiting trial in the 2011 slaying of an off-duty police officer.
Chicago Police investigate the scene on the morning of Dec. 30, 2011, at M & M Quick Foods in the 1200 block of North Austin Boulevard where off-duty officer Clifton Lewis was shot and killed the previous evening.
Tyrone Clay, 40, is charged with murder, armed robbery and other felonies in the shooting death of Officer Clifton Lewis, a case that has been plagued with accusations of police and prosecutorial misconduct.“He’s going to be hurting,” Clay’s mother, Labetta Maxwell said after the hearing. “I’m afraid for my son.”
Clay has been awaiting trial for more than a decade while attorneys have argued over whether his videotaped statements should be shown to a jury. His attorneys have said he couldn’t waive his Miranda rights due to “limited intelligence and verbal comprehension.” “I’m not interested in any more of fantastical tales of why hasn’t been produced,” Reddick said to a city attorney during a hearing last week.
