After a brief court appearance Thursday, a Kane County judge denied a prosecutor's request to keep a elderly suspect in jail instead of on pretrial release on electronic home monitoring.

A DeKalb man pleaded guilty Thursday to driving under the influence of drugs and causing a 2024 crash that killed sheriff’s deputy, veteran and mother Christina Musil. He's expected to be sentenced in August.

Kane County prosecutors are asking a judge to reverse himself and jail an elderly man accused of aggravated criminal sexual abuse of minors.
