UPDATED FRIDAY, May 8, 2008, 12:45pm VERY INCOMPLETELY – more later! The following dates and information are provided for the convenience of trained Court Advocates, who are authorized to act as Court Advocates for D.A.W.G. If you are interested in being involved, please email courtadvocacy@dawgsite.org DETAILS ABOUT UPDATES: Unless otherwise stated, the cases are Cook County, Illinois, cases. Remember to check updates in the days before appearing in Court. Details can even be added as late as the night before. CHECK INDIVIDUAL CASES IN THE “AUTOMATED VICTIM NOTIFICATION” (AVN) SYSTEM BY PHONE: You can check the most recent, available information on a particular case in the Circuit Court Clerk’s system by calling the AVN system. The number is 1-877-846-3445. Press “1” for English and then “2” for checking on court hearing information. You will need, as the taped message states, EITHER "the Circuit Court Clerk’s case number, IR number, or the police incident report number" OR the defendant’s first and last names. If you have one of these numbers (see explanations at the asterisks *** below), press “1”. If you have only the defendant’s name (correct spelling essential), press “2”. *** The Circuit Court Clerk's case number begins with the last two digits of the year in which the case was filed and typically ends with 01 or 02. We do not provide the IR number. The police incident report number for Chicago cases is the “RD number”, which begins with two letters (currently HN) followed by 6 numbers. If you need help, email courtadvocacy@dawgsite.org. In general, when details are incomplete, checking with the courtroom before going can save time. The information contained here is information derived from initial arrest summaries, court proceedings, court advocate reports, and other available sources. Some may be supplemented with information from the non-profit chicagocrime.org website that derives information from the Chicago Police Department’s Citizen ICAM website but is not affiliated with the Chicago Police Department or the City of Chicago. Some may be supplemented from pet-abuse.com. IF YOU FIND ERRORS or omissions, please email courtadvocacy@dawgsite.org or leave a message on the D.A.W.G. court advocacy voice mail (312-409-2169 box 3). Details may change, may be incorrect. ******************************************* *** APRIL 2008 HEARINGS *** APRIL 29, 2008 (Tuesday) **COURT: Branch 23, 5555 W Grand, 9am --GROSSMAN, Diana charge: assault (see NOTE) arrest: Beat 14xx, 23Jan08? arresting officer: CPD District 014 animals: none in arrest report but see note below note: REFERRED TO US FROM 14th DISTRICT: 14th District Court Advocates have ongoing case with defendant for prostitution.
