New from Jamie Kalven & Alison Flowers is an update on the ongoing Courtney Copeland case, out now in the Intercept.
While our award-winning 2021 podcast Somebody, hosted by Courtney's mother Shapearl Wells, prompted the Office of the Inspector General of Chicago to undertake its own official inquiry, the details of their findings remain unavailable to the public.
Our Freedom of Information Act request for it was denied by the City Department of Law. Jamie and Alison write with details from the summary report, the questions that remain unanswered, and the continued fight for transparency.
