    Sean Hill, the man who assaulted me downtown, a convicted felon arrested 83 times by CPD since 2015, took a deal, pleading guilty to 2 counts of simple battery in my case. Each carry a penalty of up to 1 year in jail. He got 250 w/ 30 served, but I’m told he’ll be out mid-Dec.

    I stopped in my tracks when I saw this emotional moment today. Sammy, who’s 2.5-years-old, went with his dad this morning to leave flowers for, and salute fallen Worcester firefighter Christopher Roy. ❤️

    This is the man who assaulted me last weekend. I have my opinions, but my job as a journalist and maintaining my integrity doesn’t stop when something involves me, so I’ll share this info. below and hope you take a good look at Hill should a judge decide to again release him.

    How does a man, arrested 75 times since 2015, get arrested twice in one day while on electronic monitoring for two robbery cases? Meet Sean Hill. If the topic is "What's wrong with our justice and social service systems," this is Exhibit A. cwbchicago.com/2024/07/man-ge…

    “He’s one of those guys that actually deserves this star. He’s very proud to wear this star.” Officer Huesca honored the life of his close friend, fallen CPD officer Andrés Vásquez Lasso, in a video shared just over a year ago. #ICYMI
