“Look this is what is going on, I’m trying to find out everybody whom (prosecutors) are trying to grab, and when they grab ’em I’m going to use them as my witnesses,” Spann told one associate in July, according to prosecutors. “I don’t give a f—- I’m already a step ahead of them.”
Kyle Rittenhouse, 18, faces five felonies for shooting three people, two fatally, during Kenosha’s civil unrest in August 2020. Judge Bruce Schroeder has allowed the panel to consider offenses less serious for two of the five charges but only if jurors opt to acquit the defendant of the more serious corresponding charge. The judge also approved the prosecution’s request for a provocation instruction. Such an instruction would ask the jury to consider whether the defendant provoked the confrontation. If the jury agrees, it could weaken Rittenhouse’s self-defense claim.

“When you start getting guys back, it provides some depth,” Nagy said. “And this is a physical game. … So for us now with Teven, it’s letting him get back into practice and see what feels good and what feels right. But he does look good. I feel like strength-wise, without pads on, he looks pretty good.”
In that sense, the book largely succeeds, though it would have been nice to go more behind the scenes during each championship season. Pippen’s recaps of playoff series read more like expansive box scores, lacking any new insights or stories that fans don’t already know. And in the end, that’s who will read this book — diehard Bulls fans who want to relive their team’s glory years.
Members of the Finance Committee last week discussed the proposed renewable energy plant that converts municipal waste feed stock into jet fuel. The meeting followed a session held by Fulcrum Energy the previous week that provided detailed information about the project, its timeline and funding and entertained questions for residents and officials about just what the project will mean in the city.
