Early parole denied for killer of Chicago couple - chicagotribune.com


A man convicted of killing a Chicago couple in 1991 in a resort town in Oregon has been denied parole.

The Oregon Board of Parole and Post-Prison Supervision ruled Tuesday that Andrew Metz is not likely to be rehabilitated and should not be released early from his 60-year sentence for the murders of Duncan and Ellen McKinnon.

The McKinnons had been visiting their daughter, Thomasina McKinnon, 27, in Gresham, a suburb of Portland, when they decided to visit the Oregon coast. After visiting Astoria, they headed down the coast, stopping for the night in Seaside, a coastal tourist town.

Late on the night of Sept. 8, Metz climbed from a walkway through an open window, possibly to burglarize the room, and stabbed the McKinnons to death, prosecutors said.

Metz was linked to the murders by a bloody fingerprint found in the McKinnons` motel room, by tests that showed the blood on his clothing matched that of the McKinnons, by jewelry taken from the victims that was found in his pockets and by numerous witnesses at the scene.

Man gets 85 years for killing boy playing video games in Lockport home - Chicago Sun-Times

A Lockport man was sentenced Wednesday to 85 years in prison for killing a 14-year-old boy playing video games in a home in Lockport.

A Will County jury found Vernon McCormick guilty in July of the Jan. 3, 2011, murder of Deonte Lesley. Prosecutors said McCormick, 24, sprayed bullets into the home in the 400 block of Fairmont Avenue, hitting Lesley, 16-year-old Jordan Edwards and 17-year-old Shadon McDonald.

Lesley was shot in his head and died at Silver Cross Hospital in Joliet. The other two teens were wounded.

It took McCormick’s jury about four hours to convict him on three counts of first-degree murder, two counts of aggravated battery and one count of aggravated discharge of a weapon.

Moments after McCormick’s conviction in July, Lesley’s mother said her son lives on even in death because she agreed to donate her son’s eyes, skin, tissue and bones.

Parish supporters rally around crusty old


He’s a gritty old white Catholic priest who cusses like a sailor, marched with the Rev. Martin Luther King and is hailed as a “living saint” by many in his majority black Southwest Side parish.

But nine months after he was brutally beaten to within an inch of death by burglars, Father Dan Mallette and his supporters say he’s being disrespectfully nudged towards a retirement home — and out of the St. Margaret of Scotland parish where he’s fought violence and poverty for 35 years.

It’s an emotional battle that has the proud but physically frail 80-year-old priest — and supporters including Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart — squaring off against the Archdiocese and the man Cardinal Francis George last month appointed to take over at St. Margaret’s.

Mallette dismisses his successor, Father Bill O’Donnell, as “a genius at being a pain in the ass.”
