Chicago Cop Who Quit Force After Shooting and Killing Rekia Boyd Wants All Evidence of His Criminal

Chicago Cop Who Quit Force After Shooting and Killing Rekia Boyd Wants All Evidence of His Criminal Case Erased

The then off-duty Chicago cop who fired his gun out his car window, striking and killing Rekia Boyd, an innocent bystander, now wants all evidence of the criminal case filed against him cleared from the public record.

Even though Dante Servin got off scot-free on charges of involuntary manslaughter when a Chicago judge threw out the case, saying he should have been charged with murder in the 2012 death of the 22-year-old, Servin has been tormented ever since, his lawyer, Matt Fakhoury, tells the Chicago Tribune.

Not necessarily by Boyd’s death, to hear Servin’s lawyer tell it, but because it’s just been so hard for Servin to get a job to support his family with only the approximately $57,000-a-year cop pension he currently receives.

Yes, Servin still receives his pension because he was allowed to voluntarily resign from the Chicago police force, thus preserving his pension rights.
