Cook County Prosecutor Focuses on Gun Crimes in First 100 Days

Cook County State’s Attorney Eileen O’Neill Burke emphasizes her commitment to combatting gun violence in her first 100 days, detaining over half of those charged with felony firearm offenses involving modified weapons. Since taking office, she has implemented a policy of pre-trial detention in 202 felony cases, indicating a shift toward stricter enforcement after criticizing her predecessor’s leniency on crime.

Burke also addresses retail theft with a significant increase in felony charges, approving 857 theft cases compared to her predecessor’s policies. Her actions have garnered support from Chicago officials and business leaders who highlight the importance of holding offenders accountable in efforts to enhance community safety and restore confidence among retailers.
