Dr. Kishor Jain—the Frankfort pediatrician charged with molesting five women in his Colorado Avenue office and named as a defendant in five civil lawsuits—appeared in court this week.
This time, Jain, 59, was around for his criminal case.
The special prosecutor appointed to Jain's case said he produced police reports and video evidence, but needs time to come up with more material for the defense.
Here's a look at what else was going on in court last week:
- A Wheaton man who is awaiting sentencing after pleading guilty to secretly videotaping his naked teenage stepdaughter showed up at the Joliet house where he committed the crime. Timothy Zak, 46, arrived at the residence with a Joliet police officer, ostensibly to pick up his things, according to a petition his wife filed to get a protective order against him.
- The last of four men still in jail for allegedly knocking over an Orland Park jewelry store in October 2011 appeared in court, and then he went back to jail again. The other three men have already pleaded guilty and been sentenced to prison, and Cook County Judge Colleen Hyland said that if Antoine Kelly's case isn't resolved by June 18, he's going on trial.
- A former Lockport High School network administrator pleaded guilty to having sex with a student from the school while he was an employee there in 2011. Timothy Hagan, 41, can get off with probation if a sex offender evaluation shows he is not a high risk to re-offend.
- A lawyer representing an Orland Park man charged with killing a nurse in a drunken crash as she drove to work last year said the case might close next week. Matthew Senica, 26, has been in jail since July.
- Even though a judge ruled Drew Peterson likely killed his third wife, Kathleen Savio, and a jury found him guilty of murdering her, the attorney defending the disgraced former Bolingbrook cop against a wrongful death lawsuit says that's not enough to find Peterson responsible for Savio's death.
- A woman doing time in Downstate Decatur Correctional Center is suing the Joliet Herald-News. Attilah Shaw, 40, claims the newspaper libeled and defamed her when they ran her picture with a story about a woman charged with molesting children.
