Cook County Criminal Court Judge Diane Cannon banned cameras for the trial of Chicago Police Commander Glenn Evans - The case is so messed up, the public shouldn't witness it!

To the person in the comment section: I am 110% behind Evans and hope he beats the case... The photo is to elevate the seriousness of the situation.

A Cook County judge Wednesday said she will not allow cameras in the courtroom for the upcoming trial of Chicago Police Cmdr. Glenn Evans but said the media could record audio during the testimony.

At least 14 potential witnesses, including Evans, objected to being photographed or recorded by video cameras in the courtroom.

Some of the witnesses have said they work undercover and don’t want their identities revealed.

Evans, 53, and his family have been receiving threats since he was charged with shoving a pistol down a suspect’s throat and holding a Taser to the man’s groin, his attorneys have said.
