Ex-Chicago Cop Lied About Attack
September 22, 2011

On the witness stand, Chicago police Officer Sylshina London recalled how she had been terrified while driving to work in March 2010 when an occupant in another car threw a glass bottle, hitting her in the face, and several other individuals banged on her car and threatened to physically harm her.
"I was terrified because I didn't understand what this attack was about," she testified in a Far South Side branch court last September. "Like it just happened out of the blue. I didn't know what was going on."
But there was a problem with the testimony — it was a baldfaced lie, Cook County prosecutors alleged Wednesday in announcing a felony perjury charge against the former police officer.
