This is a copy of Dec 16, 2010, Craigslist posting regarding the Winnebago County SA’s office. The poster is obviously someone who works in the office. He or she is expressing their disgust over management’s apparent attitude that every defendant is a criminal regardless of the facts of the case. It is this continuing emphasis on high conviction rates and longer prison sentences, even for lesser offenses, which causes overcrowding in IL state prisons.

They are out of control. Mr. Bruscato has dozens of lawyers in criminal courtrooms but gives them virtually no control over their cases. He and his queen sit upon the throne and make proclaimations. They do not know the nuts and bolts of the cases. Not every case fits into a cookie cutter fix. Do you understand that you are affecting actual people? The most ridiculous thing is the edict from above that all traffic tickets cannot be amended without his highnesses approval. Remember Joe, these are your voters and you are burning them. Every person who has a case pending is not a criminal. Each of the actual criminals has friends and family. Get a clue.
