Illinois Appellate Court
Civil Court
FOIA
DOC inmate filed suit to compel disclosure, under FOIA, of Chicago police department's complaint register (CR) documents relating to complaints of misconduct made against two police officers, whom he alleged coerced him into confession that led to his murder and armed robbery convictions. CR files found to be without merit would not be exempt from disclosure under FOIA. CR files should be redacted for information regarding investigations of minors, and for personal information about complainants and witnesses. Files should be reviewed in camera to determine whether they contain purely personal information exempt from disclosure. (HOFFMAN and HALL, concurring.)
