Henry Graham, the 49-year-old accused of punching a man on the Magnificent Mile, causing him to fall to the pavement, strike his head, and eventually die, has been repeatedly arrested for randomly battering people in Chicago, Evanston, and on the CTA, according to Cook County court records.
But, despite the ongoing attacks and the high probability that Graham has unmanaged mental health issues, authorities released him back on the streets again and again and again.
In the past year alone, police have arrested Graham 11 times. (Emphasis added)
Last November, he was accused of shoving a 71-year-old man into a glass storefront in Evanston. He failed to appear in court. When he finally did show up in April, the case was dropped.
Early this year, he was accused of kicking a woman in the leg and arm as she walked near Daley Plaza. The case was dropped in July.
