and a struggle followed in which the defendant stabbed Valdez with a utility tool that contained a blade. Valdez died at a hospital the same day.

Valdez’s relatives wanted the defendant charged with first-degree murder and held in custody, but instead, he was charged with second-degree murder and also held on home monitoring.

Those orders sparked accusations of preferential treatment and led to protests at the Glenview Police Department and the Skokie courthouse last year."

The fact that Valdez was chased and this white thug is allowed to kill him and walk away - disgusting. And we hear the same bullshit we heard about Rittenhouse 'nice boy, bright future' type of bullshit. This system fuckin sucks and white people float around on a cloud of unearned privilege.
