Chicago Officer Jason Van Dyke Pleads Not Guilty in Laquan McDonald Case

    A not guilty plea from a Chicago police officer charged with murder.

    FOX’s Gurnal Scott with the story:

    Officer Jason Van Dyke’s attorney entered the plea in a brief court appearance… He’s charged with killing Laquan McDonald, who was shot 16 times as he carried a knife.

    Attorney Dan Herbert says they’re beginning now to compile evidence…

    (Herbert) ”That will be a continuous process for probably the next several months until motions are filed and then we look forward to having a trial.” 

    In the meantime, Herbert says he’s still considering a change of venue and agreeing to the trial being televised. Van Dyke’s next hearing is set for late January.
