That person is Maureen Onyelobi, who is serving a life sentence and therefore will never practice law
Especially considering that her crime was first degree murder, the premeditated assassination of a witness in the trial against her boyfriend in 2014.
She and her boyfriend Maurice were heroin dealers in partnership with Anthony Fairbanks and another man David Johnson. Wilson was arrested on drug charges and Fairbanks listed as a co-defendant but was still a fugitive. Wilson, being a very smart individual, called Onyelobi from a recorded jail phone line and organized the murder of Wilson to stop him from testifying, their entire conversation in evidence;
Quote
At 7:34 p.m. on March 8, 2014, the day of Fairbanks's death, Wilson called Onyelobi at the 208 phone number from the Cass County jail.1 The relevant portion of the call began with Wilson asking Onyelobi if she and Johnson had “take[n] care of that,” referring to Fairbanks. After Onyelobi indicated that she and Johnson had not, Wilson replied, “Oh, man, baby, the countdown is on, man. Seriously.” Wilson continued: “you're probably gonna wait till the last possible minute, man. If they catch that dude, I'm gone for the rest of my life.” Onyelobi then explained that she and Johnson could not “catch [Fairbanks] [By] himself.” Wilson responded that it was the “first thing” that Onyelobi and Johnson should have “t[aken] care [of],” and that they were “acting like they want[ed][him] to stay in [jail].” Onyelobi replied: “Well, we're gonna try to take care of this tonight then. He's with somebody now. He always with somebody so we'll just try to take care of it tonight.” Wilson repeated that if police caught Fairbanks, “[Wilson would be] done for the rest of [his] life”; that all police had to do was “pull [Fairbanks] over and run his name,” and that “[Fairbanks is] in the f* * *ing projects doing dope every f* * *ing day.” Onyelobi then reassured Wilson, stating “We gonna get this s* *t done tonight. F* *k it.”
Johnson then requested to speak with Wilson. Wilson told Johnson that “[this] s* *t [is] critical” and that he needed Johnson to “be on top of that ․ ASAP.” Wilson further stated: “I go to court Monday, man. You feel me?” Johnson stated: “I got you. You know what I'm saying? But the m* * * * * * * * *er never by hi[m]self, though, so you know what I'm saying?” Wilson, in response, told Johnson: “[If] that's the case ․ let mom's2 pull up ․ you walk up, down the street ․ Bump heads with a m* * * * * * * * *er before they even get to her․ Y'all pick a place to meet up afterwards, around the corner.”
Onyelobi lured Fairbanks to an alley by using a burner phone to call him, where Johnson was laying in wait and shot him to death. Onyelobi had rented a storage facility the day before and stashed her drugs there and gave Johnson access to it, where he hid the murder weapon. When Onyelobi was being interrogated and police left the room, and the cameras were still rolling, she, again being a very smart person like Wilson, pulled out the key to the storage facility and tried to hide it by sticking it into an outlet. Which unfortunately did not electrocute her. So in the end the police had the taped conversations plotting the murder, the murder weapon with Johnson's DNA, Onyelobi's cell call to the victim, her storage unit, her on tape stashing drugs there, her trying to destroy evidence. Johnson took a plea deal and was sentenced to 28 years on second degree murder, Onyelobi insisted on a trial and was found guilty of first degree murder and sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
And this is the fucking poster child the progressives are using to champion higher learning for the incarcerated.
