From WGTD News:
A Salem Lakes man whose felony murder charge was dropped in a plea bargain got a much harsher sentence than he was expecting. 32 year-old Anthony Kanabay had been expecting probation with time served. Instead, Judge Jodi Meier handed down a sentence of two years in prison and one year in the county jail on bail jumping and drug charges. Time served was applied to a battery conviction. Kanabay was originally facing a murder charge stemming from a fight in which a friend of his--Dustin Hogan--died. But a medical expert said he couldn't be sure whether the death was due to a punch or from Hogan hitting his head on a table. Meier said she was rejecting the plea bargain because of Kanabay's extensive criminal past, despite his expressions of remorse and a pledge to turn his life around.

A 17 year-old Racine boy awaiting trial on a charge of groping a Racine courthouse employee last year was charged yesterday with a similar assault that occurred on Saturday. Joshua Meeks had been under house arrest. But after Saturday's alleged incident near his home in the 800 block of Villa St. a bond of $10,000 was set.
