A decorated Chicago police lieutenant who apparently put plastic bags over suspects heads and stuck guns in their mouths to extract confessions should face 30 years in jail, prosecutors have said.
Dozens of alleged victims have claimed Jon Burge, 63, and his officers tortured them into confessions to serious crimes including robbery and murder.
But his defence lawyers will argue the former commander should be allowed out in less than two years.
Some of the victims were given electric shocks as they were forced to confess, they claimed.
