Jason Van Dyke’s attorneys are still trying to access Laquan McDonald records for first-degree murder trial
Chicago police officer Jason Van Dyke’s attorneys are still fighting to see Laquan McDonald’s juvenile records even though the courts have refused them access to them twice previously. Defense attorney Daniel Herbert said during a status hearing that he’s asking for access to the records from the Illinois Department of Child and Family Services a third time. Van Dyke is facing first-degree murder charges for shooting 17-year-old McDonald 16 times. [DNAinfo Chicago]
