Pay attention

Working as a crime and courts reporter opens a door to life as it really is.

It is no TV show or movie.

Before probable cause or a bond is set, a judge will hear facts from prosecutors about the alleged incident.

On Monday in Kankakee County court, a man was charged with aggravated domestic battery.

What set him off?

The prosecutor read from a report, the victim's boyfriend (defendant) was upset she was not paying attention to him. She was asleep at the time.

He roughed her up, including strangling her.

All because she wasn't paying attention.

He is going to have trouble with people not paying attention to him while in jail.

Too bad.
