Former Chicago Police Officer Jason Van Dyke is just days away from an expected release from prison, but there is concern over why his location is still a secret.
“It just hurts so bad that we have to go through this here, and know that this young man is going to walk and go home to his family,” said Tracie Hunter, McDonald’s grandmother.
“I accept that that’s our sentence,” added McMahon. “It’s not what I asked for. It’s not what a lot of people in the community wanted or thought was appropriate.” While McMahon asked the judge for a much stiffer sentence, he still believes justice was served -and the landmark conviction of Van Dyke paved the way for accountability in other police-involved incidents caught on camera – like the murder of George Floyd.
“Jason Van Dyke was held accountable. He was sentenced to prison,” McMahon said, “and any time in prison is difficult time, especially for a former police officer.” We ran into the same roadblocks as McMahon trying to get information. The Department of corrections won’t say if Van Dyke is in custody or notMcDonald’s family has been notified that a release date has been set for later this week. But details remain sketchy.
