Frank Craig
Incident date:
05/01/2006
Location:
11012 S. Sangamon St.
Allegations:
In 2006, Frank Craig was wrongfully arrested for armed robbery. The car used in the armed robbery was rented to a Jane Craig and in 2000 was listed as the victim of a stolen vehicle with a man named Frank Craig. CP officers Krishner, Brown, Hillman, McNamara, and Scott misled the criminal prosecution of Craig by providing incomplete and misleading information to the State's Attorney's Office and withholding exculpatory evidence, including but not limited to that regarding of the lack of connection between Frank Craig and Jane Craig, the improper suggestiveness with which they conducted the photo-lineup, and lack of connection of Frank Craig to the person seen in the video-tape, and the false suggestion that Frank Craig was connected to the rental car, all in order to improperly and falsely connect Frank Craig to the robbery.
