The Mincing Rascals 4.24.24: Bears stadium, Dexter Reed lawsuit, Trump trial

The Mincing Rascals

The Mincing Rascals this week are John Williams of WGN Radio, Eric Zorn, Publisher of The Picayune Sentinel, Jon Hansen of WGN Radio and Block Club Chicago, Cate Plys, former staff writer at the Chicago Reader and political op-ed columnist at the Sun-Times and Tribune, and political pundit Marj Halperin. A lot of news to get to this week and the Rascals kick things off by discussing the Chicago Bears new stadium proposal. What were the big takeaways from today’s press conference? The family of Dexter Reed filed a federal civil rights lawsuit over his killing by Chicago police. What do the Rascals make of the lawsuit? Eric wonders why so little information is available about the shooting as the investigation continues. The criminal trial of former President Donald Trump rolls on and John wonders if the Rascals could be fair jurors. Also, is it fair that journalists are reporting that Trump has been nodding off in the court room?
