Chicago DUI lawyer thinks the Judge was right

I previously posted here, here, and here on the recent tragedy involving a Chicago Police Officer, off-duty, charged with a  Chicago DUI in the deaths of two young men.  Who would have thought that the Chicago Sun Times would relegate news in this case to the gossip column.

Deny 'em . . .

Police blotter: Chicago cop Joseph Frugoli, who is charged with killing two people in an early morning drunken driving accident on the Dan Ryan Expy. last month, was denied permission to carry a gun Thursday by Criminal Court Judge Israel Desierto. Frugoli, who had been relieved of his police powers, was reportedly hoping to get a security job. 

I have appeared on many occassions before Judge Desierto on DUI matters.  I certainly believe he is fair and nuanced in his approach. 

 I understand the need for the accused to get other work.  I suspect he is on unpaid leave while his case is pending.  Unfortunately, that is not a defense for non-payment of bills for the creditors or an ability to provide for himself and/or his family or pay for his legal defense.

I do have one question, who is going to hire him as an armed security officer? Somehow, I suspect Judge Desierto wondered the same thing.
