Former Mayor Richard Daley was subpoenaed Friday by attorneys for a longtime inmate who alleges he was wrongfully convicted and wants Daley questioned about what he knew about allegations of police torture while serving as Cook County state's attorney in the 1980s.
Attorneys for Stanley Wrice, who was convicted of a 1982 gang rape of a woman in his attic, allege that he falsely confessed after being tortured by two detectives working under disgraced former Chicago police Cmdr. Jon Burge.
Cook County Judge Evelyn Clay ruled in January that Wrice had made a "substantial showing" that his constitutional rights were violated and ordered an evidentiary hearing scheduled for Sept. 23.
