Convictions of four men thrown out in 1994 prostitute murder

Terrill Swift had no elaborate plans for celebrating after a Cook County judge overturned his and three others’ convictions for a 1994 murder and rape they say they didn’t commit.

But he did plan to celebrate in his own way.

“I may just take walk, something real simple,” the 34-year-old criminal justice student from Woodridge said following Wednesday’s hearing.

Swift, who was released from prison in 2010 after serving 15 years for the strangulation, realizes he’s not out of the woods yet since Criminal Court Presiding Judge Paul Biebel Jr. ordered a new trial for him and the others.
