On Thursday, 25 JUN, twenty-seven uniformed Chicago Police Officers were transported to Springfield on a charter sponsored by the Chicago Police Memorial Foundation to attend the En banc parole hearing of inmate Joseph Bigsby. Bigsby is currently incarcerated for the murder of Chicago Police Officer Edward Barron and the attempt murders of Officers Daniel Abate, Keith Grabowski, and Richard Gaffney. The IL Prisoner Review Board voted 8-4 to deny parole for Bigsby. Since the CPMF and CPD began appearing at these hearings, not one cop killer has been paroled. Officer Edward Barron - Your sacrifice is not forgotten! Incident details
