Dart bought the privately owned black cemetery a new wrought iron fence - almost a mile of expensive fencing with insider overpriced contracts

Alleged Burr Oak Cemetery scandal begins to unravel. 4 of 7 criminal charges dropped against key Defendant in case due to lack of evidence. Tom Dart spent over 10 million dollars investigating case according to recently disclosed court documents.
It’s been six years since the allegations at Burr Oak Cemetery came to light in one of the most disturbing cases in the history of the Chicago area. Now one of the defendants is set to go to trial.
In this Original Report, CBS 2’s Suzanne Le Mignot explains why he can’t wait to have his day in court.
“I want everybody to know what really happened out at Burr Oak Cemetery,” said Keith Nicks, a former supervisor at the cemetery.
Four of the seven counts against Nicks, have already been dismissed.
Nicks’ attorney, Tony Peraica, says under the Cemetery Protection Act, Nicks isn’t liable for the remaining charges. “This case is about the vast abuse of governmental authority, by the sheriff’s office and the state’s attorney’s office, who have to date expended up to $10 million of taxpayers’ money to investigate and prosecute a case that has no merit,” Peraica said.
A spokesperson for Cook County State’s Attorney Anita Alvarez says no comment can be made on the case, prior to trial. A spokesperson for Sheriff Tom Dart, a key figure in the investigation, says there is no comment on these “baseless allegations.”
