January 1, Insanity Defense Spares Woman Who Stole Police SUV, Dragged Officer from Prison Time
In a shocking turn of events, Whitley Temple, who was caught on camera stealing a Chicago police SUV and dragging the officer, has been found not guilty by a judge for attempted murder and four other charges by reason of insanity. Instead of serving prison time, Temple will have to complete a treatment plan as per Judge Tyria Walton’s ruling.
The incident was recorded by a bystander and a city surveillance camera. Officer Ed Poppish was responding to shots fired when he saw Temple lying half-naked in the street. When he stopped to help her, Temple got up and walked around him to get into the squad car’s driver’s seat.
As Poppish tried to stop her, she allegedly told him, “Let me go. This has nothing to do with you.” Temple proceeded to put the SUV in reverse, dragging Poppish and hitting another car before he was able to get free.
Temple went on a joyride with the stolen SUV, driving to a gas station and then weaving in and out of traffic on the expressway at high speeds. She ran through red lights and hit five occupied cars before finally being arrested by police.
Adding to the madness, Temple was hired as a lead accountant at the city’s Department of Family and Support Services while her case was still pending. She lost her job earlier this year when her hiring became public knowledge.
It was also highlighted that Temple’s bail was originally set at $2 million, which her attorneys claimed was excessive. An appellate court agreed, allowing her to go home with an ankle monitor after a relative posted her $7,500 bail deposit. The ankle monitor was removed last year.

It seems to me she is a danger to herself as well those in her path. There should have been more restraint placed on her if she has mental issues. Not allowing her to drive for one thing. The officers life was placed in unneeded danger even as he offered her help. That was an injustice to him in the decisions made. Laws were made to protect all people. Judges need to be on the scene of what officers face and I am sure the judgment would not be so lenient

Letting certifiable lunatics and hardened felons/criminals out on the streets has done nothing but raised the crime rate in Chicago. When will they learn?

Throw Whitley bein jail for a long time.
What kind of a “judge” let’s her out with no bail time. This judge should be disbarred. Or was she paid off?

Sorry, I misspelled a bit. Change “bein” to “in.” I get emotional when I read about law breaking citizens getting an undeserved break from a make believe judge.
