CHICAGO — Voters ousted the Chicago area's top prosecutor Tuesday, backing Democratic primary challenger Kim Foxx in a campaign dominated by questions about Cook County State's Attorney Anita Alvarez's handling of the shooting death of a black teenager at the hands of a white police ******r.
Foxx, who had served as a former chief of staff to the county board president, was among the harshest critics of Alvarez over the Laquan McDonald (http://mashable.com/category/laquan-mcdonald/?utm_campaign=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_cid=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial) shooting. The teenager was shot 16 times in October 2014, an incident that was captured on squad-car video (http://mashable.com/2016/02/12/laquan-mcdonald-video-audio-batteries/). Alvarez charged (http://mashable.com/2015/11/24/van-dyke-charged-laquan-mcdonald-murder/) the police ******r with murder, but **t until **vember, more than a year after the incident and hours after a judge ordered city officials to release the tape publicly.
