BS! This is just like the Central Park Five, who all spent time, rightfully so, for the crimes they confessed to. How can the City and County get a justice-oriented jury seated when the school systems that they control have a 25% adult illiteracy rate? So, they end up paying out to all these frivolous claims. Idiot Liberals will believe anything.

According to a report from May 2024, Guevara is set to collect at least US$91,000 a year for the rest of his life.

Since his retirement in June 2005, he has collected more than US$1.4 million in pension payments.
Earlier (2015) data lists his combined pensions at around US$81,030/year (police pension ~$73,904 plus a park district benefit ~$7,126) for that year.
