Former Chicago Police superintendent Garry McCarthy and two other former police officers have been subpoenaed in the divorce between ex-congressman Jesse Jackson Jr. and former alderman Sandi Jackson. Jackson Jr.’s legal team is asking the men for information regarding gifts given to Sandi Jackson. McCarthy and former cop James Love are also required to “provide information about any hotel stays, trips or vacations they have taken with the former alderman or members of her family,” according to the Sun-Times. Sandi Jackson reportedly said that her estranged husband is “so desperate.” McCarthy told CBS 2 Chicago that he is “not going to comment on anything that stupid.” [Sun-Times]Chicago Justice will premiere March 1 on NBC
