As 'Broadview Six' prosecutor faces reckoning, Boutros yet to escape cloud hanging over his office

Assistant U.S. Attorney Sheri Mecklenburg's work in Chicago faces scrutiny over claims of improper conduct in seeking indictments, prompting defense attorneys to demand a special counsel to investigate U.S. Attorney Andrew Boutros and his office for criminal contempt. Boutros announced a review of Mecklenburg's grand jury cases dating back to 2007, which could impact over 100 cases, amid questions about the reliability of information from his office under the legal doctrine of presumption of regularity.
