Kenosha News | No date set for Ealy trial

Kenosha News | No date set for Ealy trial: "WAUKEGAN, Ill. — Defense attorneys were given more time Tuesday to gather their case for an Illinois man accused of killing a Trevor woman.

A judge did not set a trial date after the defense team asked for more time to submit motions on behalf of James Ealy, 44, of Lake Villa, Ill. Ealy is accused of killing Mary Hutchinson, 45, of Trevor in a Lindenhurst, Ill., Burger King in November 2006.

Ealy is charged with first-degree murder. Hutchinson was killed at the Burger King she managed as part of an apparent armed robbery. She was strangled with the bow tie from her uniform and stabbed 16 times."

Two and a half years ago, this monster murdered the manager of a Burger King here in Lindenhurst, a few minutes from where I live. He had worked there previously and lied about his background to get the job. In 1982 he was convicted of murdering four family members. He strangled them right in front of the two little boys he didn't bother to kill. An appellate court turned him loose because his confession wasn't taken quite perfectly enough. He committed another rape or two along the way and did more time. But eventually he settled in this area and strangled and stabbed this poor woman as she was opening the restaurant.

Two and a half years ago. And he still doesn't even have a trial date. What kind of justice system do we have in this state? What, exactly, remains to be investigated about this psychopath?
