Under oath, Foxx says she believed exonerated men were guilty in ‘heinous’ Bucktown murders

But when Scahill tried to question her about the Mulero case, Foxx repeatedly redirected the conversation back to the Smollett case, which she said was irrelevant to the deposition.

“I get that you want to ask me about Jussie, but that’s not why we’re here,” Foxx said at one point.

“I don’t know what this has to do with anything,” she said at another.

When Scahill asked her about a meeting with the Exoneration Project, Foxx said she did not recall specifics of the discussion and that she met with “a lot of people all the time” about various cases.

“It’s not uncommon for me to meet with people about cases. I don’t know what the specifics were. I don’t know if it was about her case. I don’t remember,” Foxx said.

She repeatedly said she did not know why her office opposed Mulero’s clemency petition or why it removed its objection to her case six months later.

“I don’t know. I don’t know. I don’t know,” she said.

“I didn’t know specifically about her case. I don’t know why my office did or didn’t do what we did. I don’t know,” she said.

“I don’t know,” she said again.

Scahill also asked her about a meeting with the Exoneration Project after the City Club luncheon, which Foxx said she could not recall specifics of. She also said she did not know why her office removed its objection to Mulero’s case in August.

“I don’t recall what the specifics were. I don’t know why things happened the way that they did,” Foxx said.

“I don’t know,” she said.

“I don’t know,” she said a one hundred and ninety-sixth Kim Foxx, the Cook County State’s Attorney, recently spoke out about the wrongful convictions of several individuals, including Marilyn Mulero, who was exonerated after a corrupt police officer framed her for a crime she didn’t commit. During a press conference, Foxx highlighted Mulero’s case, emphasizing the impact of spending her formative years behind bars for a crime she did not commit.

However, amidst the discussion of Mulero’s case, Foxx was questioned about the high-profile Jussie Smollett case. Despite the media attention surrounding Smollett, Foxx redirected the focus back to Mulero and other victims of wrongful convictions. She shared Mulero’s story and expressed regret for making an off-the-cuff remark about her case without concrete evidence of innocence.

When pressed for more details about Mulero’s innocence, Foxx clarified that she was relaying information shared by Mulero herself and that her emotional response during the conversation may have influenced her statement. She acknowledged that her words may have been misconstrued as a formal finding of innocence, which was not the case.

The exchange shed light on the challenges faced by wrongfully convicted individuals seeking justice and exoneration. Foxx’s commitment to addressing these cases and advocating for those who have been failed by the justice system is evident in her actions and statements.

This story serves as a reminder of the importance of thorough investigations, fair trials, and accountability within law enforcement to prevent miscarriages of justice. As Mulero continues to seek justice for the years she lost due to a wrongful conviction, her case stands as a poignant example of the flaws within the criminal justice system that must be addressed.
