Approx. a year later, I received a letter in the mail from the Office of Lane Evans (Senator or Governor of Illinois) requesting info from customers who had prior dealings with Danny. Gave them a phone call and they expressed extreme interest in my story and requested that I forward them a written statement. Took me a while, but I came up with several pages in my statement which I forwarded to their office. Does anybody know the result of this congressional investigation into the dealings of Danny Dupchak and Fantazia? Evans was an IL Member of Congress from 1983-2007. Ironically, in yet another example of small world, I was his lawyer for a FOIA lawsuit in the early 2000s. Sadly, he died in 2014 from Parkinson's complications. Really nice guy. lou_fine 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sigh. It took four years to get a plea out of the guy that killed my dad. The judge finally told the defense lawyer, no more time. While I would classify the justice system as interesting, having been on grand jury three times, it is lacking in many ways. greggy and GACollectibles 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some courts are, of course, worse than others. Family Court was an experience I never want to go through again. Wild, wild west. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
