Joseph Pannell: Chicago Police Officer

Terrence Knox Dept: It is 41 years since he shot a Chicago police officer and fled to Toronto where he lived for 34 years. Since he was caught in Toronto in 2004, he has served his jail term in the United States and now wants to return to Canada to visit his family, including his month-old grandson, according to The Star. Freeman, 61, pled guilty in 2008 to aggravated battery in the shooting of Chicago police officer Terrence Knox on March 7, 1969. After he was apprehended, he jumped bail and fled to Canada, changing his name from Joseph Pannell to Gary Freeman and the federal government doesn t believe Gary Freeman is a danger to Canadian society. But according to documents obtained under the Access to Information Act, the former Toronto librarian's assistant shouldn't be allowed back into the country because of his alleged connection to the Black Panthers, a now-defunct militant African-American organization. As reported in the news.
