The Bulls have plenty of stakes left in the All-Star selection process.

In terms of these stories and how they’re told, I couldn’t speak exactly to who’s getting it right, who’s not getting it right. This film was really about the relationship between an athlete, their past, and the city through the prism of a camera lens. It’s just trying to provoke thoughts about how we look at our athletes and how they are human; that in itself is something that is continuing to be told. I think it’s been told more in the last five years especially with the player empowerment movement as more athletes continue to commission their own projects and really harness the power of their own voices. This film was made before that movement started. And I’ve been a big part of that movement and working with athletes in my life as I’ve lived my art over the last five years. I’ve spent a lot of time with embattled athletes, athletes struggling with mental health, athletes in rehab, athletes who are entrepreneurs — all different sorts of dynamics.

“I think the world of Matt as a coach, as a person, as a defensive coordinator — that we can … have the continuity and just keep building, growing and adapting the system to our players,” Reich said. “I’ve just seen ‘Flus’ continue to grow and develop in that role as well, really connecting with players, making a conscious effort every week to put our players in the best position possible.”

While the shooter was captured on video, his face is not clearly visible in the footage, Murphy said. However, video tracks the cab driving around the city after the shooting, and about half an hour afterward, Guzman and Corripio went into a Subway restaurant to order sandwiches. Video from the restaurant shows Corripio’s face clearly, and he is wearing the same clothing as the shooter, Murphy said.

Earlier this month, the forest preserve’s began a strategic planning process to review its goals and operations. In consultation with Commissioner Scott Britton, in whose district the coyote is kept, the agency is now expanding that initiative to include a review of its ambassador animal program, including its procedures and practices, for all nature centers.

“I think this will probably be a point that I’ll make at sentencing, that not only did Mr. Smollett lie to the police and wreak havoc in this city for weeks on end for no reason whatsoever, but then he compounded the problem by lying under oath to a jury, which I don’t think should happen,” Webb said.
