Law improves soccer field safety in Illinois
Gov. Pat Quinn signed Bill 1130 to require park districts, school districts and other youth league hosts to install non tipping soccer goals. The measure grows from Zach Tran’s 2003 death, the 27th U.S. incident from a falling goal, and is backed by local districts already anchoring goals.

Ex-attorney again gets 12 years for fraud and porn
Gary Peel, 67, a once-prominent attorney in East St. Louis, received a 12 year federal prison term after a sentencing ruling by a lower court following an appeals court decision. He was convicted of possessing child pornography and bankruptcy fraud, with two concurrent 10 year terms and a two year upgrade for fraud. The Seventh Circuit upheld the child pornography conviction but ordered the bankruptcy or obstruction charge dropped to avoid double jeopardy. Peel had previously received the same 12 year sentence in 2007. U.S. Attorney Stephen Wigginton condemned sexual crimes against minors and the weaponization of law for personal gain.
