Mary Cole's Closing Statement: Rinehart's Deal Leads to Valeria Rodriguez's Tragic Murder

In this powerful closing statement from the Lake County Bar Association Debate, Mary Cole, candidate for Lake County State's Attorney, addresses Eric Rinehart's handling of the Shorbonia Poole case. Cole highlights how Rinehart’s plea deal allowed Poole, previously charged with armed robbery and weapon offenses, to remain free, leading to the tragic murder of 15-year-old Valeria Rodriguez in Round Lake Beach. Cole argues that this case represents a failure of leadership and justice in Lake County.
