No argument here.

Assistant Cook County State’s Attorney Jim Murphy accused Kim 
Foxx of caring more about political agendas than for crime 
victims and prosecuting criminals

An Illinois prosecutor took Cook County State's Attorney Kim 
Foxx to task in a scathing, office-wide resignation letter, 
saying her office cares more about political narratives than 
crime victims.

Assistant Cook County State’s Attorney Jim Murphy said he "can't 
continue to work for an administration I don't respect," in his 
letter resigning his position after 25 years of service. His 
last day was Friday, according to a copy of the letter obtained 
by Fox News.

"I wish I could stay," he wrote. "However, I can no longer work 
for this Administration. I have zero confidence in leadership."

Fox News has reached out to Foxx's office but has not received a 
response.

Murphy cited a number of reasons for his departure, including 
the "Safe-T Act," a measure that requires prosecutors to present 
a higher burden of proof to hold accused criminals until trial.

While Murphy said he supports eliminating cash-bail, he said 
Foxx's office rushed the reform and that his concerns were 
brushed aside. Murphy also cited "dangerously" low staffing 
levels in all units and bureaus in Foxx's office, to the point 
where one or two-person courtrooms are now common.

"If this administration was truly concerned with effectively 
fighting violent crime, then they would fully staff those 
courtrooms and units," he wrote. "Meanwhile the rest of us are 
overworked, overstressed, and under-resourced. But at least we 
were allowed to wear jeans in July."

Murphy said Foxx was angry one day several months ago when he 
was summoned into a meeting about bond hearings he was involved 
in. One involved a "massive shootout" and the other a woman who 
was gunned down walking to a store after being caught in the 
crossfire.

Murphy said Foxx was upset about a newspaper headline that 
indicated the suspect would not face a murder charge under the 
Safe-T Act. He said Foxx appeared to be more upset with the 
headline than the fact that a woman had died.

"That is what is wrong with this administration. I've seen day 
after day," he said. "How many mass shootings do there have to 
be before something is done."

"This administration is more concerned with political narratives 
and agendas than with victims and prosecuting violent crime," he 
added. "That is why I can't stay any longer."
