    JUST IN: Lawyer for ex-Ald. Willie Cochran ask for six months home confinement, saying "since sending previous aldermen to jail has not done anything to curb Chicago’s tidal wave of aldermanic corruption cases, there is no reason to think that sending Mr. Cochran to jail will."

        Cochran's attorney also notes the alderman plead guilty only to dipping into his ward charity fund to the tune of $14,000. "There are politicians who commit a crime, and then there are 'political corruption cases.' ..This is not in any way a typical political corruption case."

        Cochran’s lawyer seems to have struck a chord. He was talking about whether “general deterrence” actually works. But many seem to think his client deserves prison on another, less formal factor: General principle.

        These politicians keep picking pockets at the hanging of a pick pocket. Judge Zagle’s 14 years he handed to Blogo obviously wasn’t enough, @John_Kass

        Kind of like how over 2/3 of those up on gun charges are out within a day in Cook County! Why hold & prosecute, let’s let them out and it will all go away! Using the Dont ask, don’t get approach way to prevalent in Chi !

        Excuse me. You aren't talking about Public Defender clients, and they're the majority. They don't make bail. Also, crime has gone down quite a bit in the last two years but no one cares b/c we'll never lose our label. Do real research.

        How awesome would it be if the judge said "You're right counselor, it hasn't, that's a valid statement. That's why I'm sentencing him to the statutory max. Have a nice day, former Alderman Cochran."
