Recent NY Times article about the notorious Chicago police commander, Burge, who is finally going on trial for his role in the implementation of torture methods during interrogations in Chicago prisons during the 70s, 80s, and 90s. The use of torture to extract faulty confessions led to the suspension of the death penalty in Illinois.
