    Gerald Reed was arrested on suspicion of a double-homicide. While in Chicago Police custody, he was interrogated by two detectives that worked under the infamous John Burge.

Learning law has never been easier.

Great explanation of what damages are and what types of damages an injured person might qualify for after an accident.
