Ask the DOJ to investigate Jackson County, IL DA's office for misconduct and civil rights violations

Created by M.B. on March 08, 2015

Calling for a DOJ investigation of D.A. Mike Carr of Jackson County IL home of SIU. for lack of investigation and prosecution of sexual assault and murder. A recent investigation of sexual assault prosecution rates compared to 32 local counties show Jackson County has the worst prosecution. Resulting in failure to prosecute 90% of sexual assault cases regardless of the evidence or state laws regarding the handling/investigate of such cases. The Belleville News Democrat investigation is here http://www.bnd.com/static/media/VOT/index3.html Mr. Carr's office has also refused to prosecute two recent high profile cases that resulted in the death of Molly Young and Parvin Varughese. In both cases lack of investigation of evidence and those directly involved has resulted in no prosecutions.
