Believe it or not, Mark Kipnis' attorney, Ronald Safer, has stuck up for Patrick Fitzgerald's overall record as a prosecutor. As the article relates, two assistant D.A.s on the prosecutorial team, Eric Sussman and Jeffrey Cramer, had earlier extended professional courtesies to Csr. Safer. His opinion piece was published by the Chicago Tribune; it's been webbed.
The Globe and Mail article, by Paul Waldie, already has three comments on it.
Ron Safer is a former prosecutor. It's not too surprising that two prosecutors would have complimentary words for a former one, or a former one for a beleaguered current one. The charges against Mr. Kipnis, though, do seem to be the flimsiest.

This is quite off-topic, but I've seen a news report about a coyote putting in an extended appearance, yesterday, inside a Quiznos subway shop in downtown Chicago. This story has spread all over the Internet news services, and it's made CNN. (As far as local jokes are concerned, my own hunch says that'd be directed at Sam Zell, but you never know. Thanks to CTV NewsNet for putting me on to this item.)
[The coyote, now named Adrian, was caught, taken to Chicago's Animal Control and Care centre, and put in a refuge in Flint Creek; it's owned by retied IBM executive Barbara Overbey. Thanks to the Chicago Tribune for the update.]
