Victims of the fatal 2003 fire at the Cook County Administration Building have settled lawsuits for a combined $100 million, their attorneys announced Monday afternoon.
The final three defendants, including the City of Chicago, averted a trial by agreeing to settle for about $75 million. Last week, Cook County and six other defendants settled for about an additional $25 million.
Jury selection was to begin Monday in the courtroom of Cook County Circuit Judge William Maddux. But lawyers instead spent much of the day meeting with Maddux behind closed doors.
WOW!

Such incompetence on behalf of the Chicago Fire Department.. They are not heros. They are loud mouthes, lazy, belligerant racists who don't do their jobs. Now we the tax payers have to pay major paper to those families who lost their families due to sheer stupidity. Why don't they discipline the fire department staff. I bet none of them lost their jobs, yet we have to pay for their mess.
Ummmm that's why James Joyce lost his job
