Charges dropped against Chicago mom and son in restaurant shooting, lawsuit filed

Carlishia Hood, a mother who was accused of instructing her teenage son to shoot a man at a fast food restaurant in Chicago, spoke out after murder charges against her and her son were dropped. Hood is now suing the city, alleging malicious prosecution, false arrest, and intentional infliction of emotional distress. The charges were dropped after the Cook County State's Attorney's office received "emerging evidence" in the case. Hood's attorney argued that she was violently attacked by the man and should not have been arrested. The shooting was recorded by surveillance video, but further details about the evidence were not released.
