The planned Sangamon County courthouse renovation would feature a staircase and first-floor access to offices. The Sangamon County courthouse is scheduled for a $16.7 million makeover that would transform the first and second floors and move the coroner s office into its own building on Dirksen Parkway. The county board on Monday approved $278,000 for design work on the project, with construction expected to begin in November and conclude in the spring of 2023. A planned entrance atrium with a staircase leading to an upper level would replace cramped quarters at the current entrance, where courthouse visitors go through metal detectors no one envisioned when the building was constructed 30 years ago.
Maryland’s former chief medical examiner testified for the defense in the Minneapolis murder trial of former police officer Derek Chauvin, who is charged with killing George Floyd. Dr. David Fowler’s testimony came at the same time he’s being accused of helping to cover up the police’s role in the 2018 in-custody death of Anton Black, a Black 19-year-old from the Eastern Shore.
Anton Black’s family told WTOP ahead of Fowler’s testimony the two cases are eerily similar.
“It’s surreal that you have two men on the opposite sides of the country that experienced almost the same treatment by two different police officers,” said LaToya Holley, Black’s sister. “The medical examiner, in my opinion, was egregious in the way he finalized Anton’s autopsy results. Now, he’s being called to be an expert witness for another police officer.”
