Chicago Police Commander Glenn Evans NOT GUILTY - Brave Cook County Criminal Court Judge Diane Cannon makes the right call - NOT GUILTY ON ALL COUNTS - Glenn Evans to run for Superintendent of the Chicago Police Department

A Cook County judge on Monday acquitted Chicago police Cmdr. Glenn Evans on charges he shoved his gun down a man's throat despite evidence showing the alleged victim's DNA on Evans' gun.

Judge Diane Cannon also played up the inconsistencies in Rickey Williams' account of the on-duty 2013 incident over the years, saying his testimony at the trial last week "taxes the gullibility of the credulous."

Williams was all too "eager to change his testimony at anyone's request to accommodate the evidence," the judge said.

The prosecution's strongest evidence — the recovery of Williams' DNA on Evans' service weapon — was belittled by Cannon as "of fleeting relevance or significance."

Evans' had enough "lawful contact" with Williams to explain the DNA on the commander's weapon, she said.

The judge, who didn't appear to cite one positive aspect to the prosecution case in her ruling, acquitted Evans, 53, on all charges: two counts of aggravated battery and seven counts of official misconduct.

Williams alleged that Evans chased him into an abandoned South Side house, shoved the gun down his throat, pressed a Taser to his groin and threatened to kill him in January 2013. The next day, he reported the alleged incident to the police oversight agency, a fact not mentioned by Cannon in her ruling.
