  • Andy Hale: Why Chester Weger is innocent in the Starved Rock murder case

    Andy Hale, civil rights attorney and lawyer for Chester Weger, who was convicted of the Starved Rock murders of 1960, joins Karen Conti to discuss the current state of the case and his filing of a posthumous pardon petition with Governor JB Pritzker. Andy details the three murders, how long it took for the victims’ bodies to be found, his argument that Weger did not commit the crimes, his belief that the crime scene was staged, how the Chicago mafia may have been involved, why prosecutors in Will County still maintain Weger’s guilt even though DNA evidence did not connect him to the crime, and what he believes actually took place.
