No charges will be filed against suburban Chicago police officers in the fatal shooting of an unarmed man in a dark bedroom. The state’s attorney says he can't prove that an officer “was not legally justified in using deadly force” in the February shooting.
CAROL STREAM, Ill. — No charges will be filed against suburban Chicago police officers in the fatal shooting of an unarmed man in a dark bedroom, a prosecutor said Wednesday.
“It is indeed a tragedy any time a human life is lost,” said Berlin, the prosecutor in DuPage County. “Criminal charges can only be filed, however, if the evidence is sufficient to support a conviction beyond a reasonable doubt.” Police arrived in the middle of the night in response to a 911 call from a woman who said Goodlow had beaten her before she fled from their shared apartment. She had a black eye and bloody lip.
