Rhonda Crawford Dear Ms. Alvarez? I represent attorney Rhonda Crawford. She is currently a candidate for a Judicial office in Cook County. I understand that your office is about to indict her for an incident that occurred in the Markham County Courthouse on August 11, 2016. Presumably, the statute of limitations for wrong-doing, if any, would run no earlior than August 11, 2017. As you know, elections for judges in Cook County are scheduled for Tuesday, November 8; 2016. Accordingly, there is no legal nead to indict Ms. Crawford before the elections occur. I respectfully ask that your office refrain from taking any action against Ms. Crawford until after the elections in order to refute any impression or allegation that your office is attempting to influenes the democratic process. ‘Thank you in advance for your consideration. Very truly yours, HENDERSON P. }, LLC Victor P. Henderson VPHsr
