Daley connections cloud fair trial issue

No Cook judge should preside over Vanecko trial

(MCT) — Chicago is such a political town that it’s only natural that public cynicism is growing over whether a Cook County judge should preside over the highly political manslaughter case against R.J. Vanecko.

Vanecko, 38, is the grandson of one Democratic political boss named Daley and the nephew of another named Daley. The Daley clan has ruled politics in Cook County and virtually all the major offices within for more than half a century.
