The FBI released its 2010 Uniform Crime Report Monday. The north and northwest suburbs served by the Patch sites in Cook and Lake counties are listed below in charts for violent crimes and property crimes. The data reflect communities that reported crime statistics for all 12 months of 2010. Due to a change in state reporting methods, Illinois statistics from 2010 cannot be compared to 2009 statistics, according to the FBI. Glenview, Niles, Wilmette and Glencoe were not included in the FBI's release of data.

Attorneys for Hyungseok Koh, 58, hope to suppress a confession he allegedly made while in police custody.
A Northbrook man who allegedly confessed to his son’s murder sat listening intently in court Monday, as a psychiatrist told the judge that the man was “in no position” to give a voluntary statement about how his son had died. Hyungseok Koh, 58, allegedly confessed to stabbing his then 22-year-old son Paul Koh in April 2009. Now facing murder charges in Cook County Circuit Court’s Second District, Koh has pleaded not guilty and is currently being held in Cook County Jail on $5 million bond. The alleged confession occurred while he was in police custody after Paul Koh’s death, according to court documents. In support of a motion to suppress the confession as evidence, Koh’s attorneys brought psychiatrist Robert Galatzer-Levy as a witness…

Victim's family expresses anger and sadness.
In handing down two life sentences to convicted killer Marni Yang Friday, Judge Christopher Stride said the case stood out in his 20 years of experience in criminal courts. It wasn’t unusual because of the amount of media attention that surrounded the killing because the victim, Rhoni Reuter, was pregnant with the unborn child of former Chicago Bears player Shaun Gayle. It was, he told Yang, becauase of “the methodical, meticulous and maniacal manner in which you committed this crime." Yang received two concurrent life sentences — one for Reuter’s death and one for the death of her unborn child — nearly five years after she plotted to kill Reuter in her Deerfield condominium. Yang, who had been romantically involved with Gayle, saw Reuter …

Hershel explained how he was standing nearby when Anthony allegedly beat Nancee with a baseball bat after an argument, and spoke about Nancee’s drug use…

Kenny Rapoport spoke with reporters following his nephew's court appearance Monday.
Monday was a long day for Kenny Rapoport. First he attended his estranged wife's funeral.

One year ago, Edgardo de la Torre was supposed to turn 16. If not for an act of violence, his parents might have been buying their eldest son a birthday cake. Instead, they made the painful decision to take him off of life support. Niles police said Francisco Moran, then 16, of Glenview, used a stolen car to intentionally run over de la Torre, a former friend, in the south parking lot of Golf Mill Shopping Center in Niles. The two had been arguing on a social media website about a girl, said Sgt. Tom Davis. "It was a very sad case," said Dennis McEnerney, a division commander with the Nile police who played a key role in the police response to the deadly assault on Nov. 28, 2009, and in the ensuing days. Death, then murder charge De la …
