Smoke And Mirrors: Six-Time Drunk Driver’s Praise Of Liberal Kenosha Judge Jason Rossell Raises Questions About His Sentencing Practices
Skye Michael Siler, 52, of Salem Lakes(Kenosha County Sheriff’s Office) SALEM LAKES, Wis. — A six-time convicted drunk driver with a lengthy criminal history has publicly praised liberal Kenosha County Circuit Court Judge Jason Rossell for giving him a two-year prison sentence. But court and correctional records reveal a much different picture than the punishment announced in the courtroom. Rossell made the habitual drunk driver eligible for a program that allowed him to leave prison early, and less than 11 months after sentencing, the offender was released on extended supervision. The case raises broader questions about sentencing practices that can make prison terms appear tougher than the punishment ultimately served.

KENOSHA, Wis. — The City of Kenosha and former Kenosha Police Officer Joshua T. Sylvester have agreed to a $450,000 settlement with Alessandra Dashawn Doby, a Kenosha woman who accused Sylvester of sexually assaulting her while she was intoxicated and in police custody in August 2022.

We Warned That Someone Could Die: Now A Man Released By “Catch & Release” Kellum Is Dead — Opinion
KENOSHA, Wis. — Setting bail for defendants accused of violent crimes or sexual assaults, especially those involving children, is among the most consequential decisions made in a courtroom. Get it wrong, and innocent people can be hurt or killed. Kenosha County Eye has repeatedly criticized Court Commissioner Daniel “Catch & Release” Kellum for releasing defendants accused of serious crimes on no-cash bail. This publication believes his decisions reflect a misguided, politically driven approach to criminal justice that places too little emphasis on the risks associated with pretrial release. But there is another danger that rarely enters the conversation: What happens when a defendant facing decades in prison is released without posting a penny and then takes his own life? William E. Frazier Jr., 58, of Kenosha, accused of sexually assaulting

A Dying Kenosha News: Faded Newspaper Boxes, A Chipped Window And Dwindling Square Feet Tell The Story Of A Once-Mighty Local Newspaper
KENOSHA, Wis. — A chipped window, a police investigation involving questions about Mexican landscapers, an increasingly empty newsroom, and yet another move into a smaller office space. For the once-mighty Kenosha News, the signs of decline are becoming difficult to ignore. In May, Kenosha police responded to a complaint involving a damaged window at the newspaper’s Green Bay Road location. An officer approached a neighboring business and asked whether its landscapers might have kicked a rock into the glass. But according to information obtained by Kenosha County Eye, the neighboring business owner walked over, examined the damage, and determined that the impact had come from inside the building, not outside. The damage reportedly occurred during the newspaper’s move. Whether Kenosha News editor John Sloca intentionally misled police, misunderstood what happened,
