CWB: CHICAGO — A Chicago man has been sentenced to probation for participating in a robbery that ended with his younger brother being fatally shot by the victim.
Oscar Alvarez, 20, pleaded guilty to aggravated robbery in exchange for a four-year probation sentence from Judge Michael Hood, according to court records. Prosecutors dropped four other felonies in Alvarez’s plea deal.
Alvarez and his 14-year-old brother, Pablo, hatched a plan to steal a gaming console from a man who offered it for sale online, officials said. On October 23, 2021, the brothers drove to the 7200 block of West Waveland, where the 29-year-old victim was waiting to complete the transaction. read more
That usually gets you charged with murder anywhere else, doesn’t it? Must be nice to live in Chicago.
I’d bet there’s felony murder on the books and the judge ignored it.
