A 9 year old girl died Saturday in Chicago when a porch railing gave way. An inspector had visited the building 33 hours earlier. The inspector had been there because the City had received a complaint about an inside stairway - not about the porch.
The inspector is being fired by the City. Not because he failed to inspect the porch. After all, he hadn't been asked to do that.
He's being fired because he falsified his inspection report after the girl died. He apparently got scared that he would take major heat for not looking at the porch. So he filed a false report saying he had looked at the porch and found problems with it. He must have thought he would look like an ace.
But he was carrying a City-issued cellphone with a GPS tracking system built in. He was at the site for 13 minutes, which wasn't enough time to inspect both interior stairs and a porch.
Don't lie about your travels
When you're tracked by GPS.
Your story will unravel
Then you'll break down and confess.
