Justice for Cortez Brown – Tortured, Innocent & Wrongfully Convicted
Posted on 09 August 2009
In 1990, at the age of 19, Cortez Brown, whose real name is Victor Safforld was arrested for a traffic violation in Park Forest, IL. After sleeping on the floor of a cell without food overnight, Cortez was taken to Area 1 Chicago Police Department for questioning in two murder cases. Cortez immediately told them he wanted to make a phone call and wanted a lawyer present during questioning. He phoned his mother and told her he was at Area 1 and she arranged for a lawyer to go to Area 1. Before his mother or lawyer could make it to Area 1, Cortez was taken to Area 3 police department. He did not have a lawyer present during questioning and it subsequently took his mother two days to find him.
