Road to Dismissal: Shedding Light on the Jack McCullough Case

The DeKalb Daily Chronicle recently published a two-part series called “Road to Dismissal” examining letters and emails that shed some light on how DeKalb County State’s Attorney Richard Schmack became convinced that the wrong man was behind bars for the death of Maria Ridulph of Sycamore. Jack McCullough has since been released from prison, but questions of his innocence remain in the community. Eric Olson is editor of the Daily Chronicle and spoke with  Illinois Public Radio's Jenna Dooley about the series.
