Chicago DUI lawyer updates on the 1st Chicago DUI fatality of the year involving a Chicago Police Officer

I have written previously about pending Chicago DUI cases, with fatalities, where Chicago Police Officers are the defendants.  You may recall that Chicago Police Officer Joseph Frugalli, was involved in a 2 person fatal car accident last month on the Dan Ryan.  His BAC results were .223, almost three times over the legal limit.  Today he entered a plea of not guilty to all charges.  He was charged with leaving the scene of the accident and Aggravated DUI.

Chicago Police detective Joseph Frugoli pleaded not guilty today on charges related to the fatal drunken-driving accident that claimed the lives of two young men last month.

Frugoli, who has been relieved of his police powers, is out on $500,000 bail.

His next court date before Cook County Judge Lawrence Fox is scheduled for July 20.

If you look at the comments, you will see that there is already fallout regarding the bail set in these Chicago Police Officer Chicago DUI cases.  Frugoli is charged in the death of 2 young men and is out on bail of $500,000.   Bolling is still in custody , while charged in the death of a tennager after Judge Brown denied a bond reduction.  His bail is currently set at $2,000,000.
