Lawyers for the teenager accused of beating, assaulting, and killing 10-year-old Lily Peters has more than two dozen reasons why he says the case should be tried in juvenile court. New court documents show the suspect’s lawyers believe he will be better served by a trial in juvenile court, and a sentence in juvenile detention. The teen, who was 14-years-old when police say he allegedly killed Peters last year, is waiting to go on trial. The decision about juvenile or

It’s a million-dollars bond for the suspect in an east side murder from back in July. The Dane County DA’s office yesterday filed formal first-degree homicide charges against 21-year-old Mark Parks Jr. Madison Police say he allegedly shot and killed a man on the city’s east side on July 13th. Parks is the second suspect in the case. The other man arrested for the killing pleaded not guilty last week.

There is a warning about a sex offender who is going to be released in Rusk County. The Rusk County Sheriff’s Office says 49-year-old Christopher Johnson will be released from prison today.

Wisconsin’s Supreme Court will hear arguments to redraw the state’s political maps today. A number of Democrats and progressive groups in the state want the new liberal-majority Supreme Court to toss out the current maps because they favor Republicans. The maps, they say, are gerrymandered and unfair. Republican lawmakers say the request goes too far because it would also undue the 2022 elections for State Senate, and force more than a dozen lawmakers to run again next fall. The case

Public schools in Wisconsin are getting even more money from the state’s Common School Fund. Secretary of State Sarah Godlewski yesterday said the Common School Fund netted 65 million-dollars this year. That’s 13 million more than last year. All of the money is earmarked for school libraries across the state. The Common School Fund gets its money from the sale of public lands that have been set aside to pay for educational needs in Wisconsin. The Secretary of State says

UW-Platteville is mourning the death of its athletic director and assistant chancellor. The school said yesterday that Kristina Navarro-Krupka passed away suddenly over the weekend.

We’re going to get a look at the numbers from the first weekend of deer season later today. The Department of Natural Resources has a news conference scheduled for 11 a.m. to talk about the first weekend of gun season.

Wisconsin’s governor is once again saying ‘No’ to a tax cut from Republican lawmakers. Governor Evers yesterday vetoed the proposed two billion-dollar tax cut, calling it an unserious plan. Republican lawmakers want to use Wisconsin’s record, nearly seven billion-dollar budget surplus to pay for the tax cut. The governor says he’d rather spend the surplus on child care, a Medicaid expansion, and other programs. This is the second time the governor has scuttled a Republican tax cut this year. He

The cost of groceries for Thanksgiving dinner is down from last year, and turkey’s had the biggest price drop.  The American Farm Bureau Federation says a traditional Thanksgiving meal for ten people costs around $61.17 this year, that’s 4.5 percent less than last year, but still 25-percent higher than 2019. Wisconsin prices are a little lower than the national average at $60.36 When it comes to travel, expect to pack patience. The roads will be busy with nearly a million
