A receptionist for the Cook County public defender's office accepted delivery of almost 40 pounds of marijuana at her Loop office, prosecutors alleged Wednesday.
At her bond hearing Wednesday, prosecutors said Lamour Holloway, 40, accompanied by two children, carted the drugs to her husband as he waited in a car behind the Cook County Administration Building at 69 W. Washington St....
"I think it's clear that not only is she committing a crime by accepting a package containing cannabis using the mail service, but as a public employee there is a sense of trust," said Assistant State's Atty Anna Demacopoulos. "She is an employee of the public defender's office, working in a public building, and she violated the sanctity of that public building."

Oh please. It's not like she worked in the prosecutor's office; she worked for the PD. If she wants to walk a mile in the shoes of a criminal defendant, like the ones her office represents, what's wrong with that?
