JOLIET, IL On Friday morning, an angry Joliet criminal defense attorney Jeff Tomczak raised his voice before Will County Chief Judge Dan Kennedy, insisting that 19-year-old client Rasean Stokes has no criminal culpability in the Feb. 8, 2020 gunshot homicide along Joliet s Republic Avenue that ended the life of 17-year-old Jeremiah Frazier.
Tomczak implored Judge Kennedy reduce his incarcerated client s bail from $750,000 to $5,000, but the judge was not willing to make a decision on the bail at Friday s hearing.

SEAL BEACH, CA Knowing you can ski and surf on the same day is one of the biggest draws to life in Southern California. That was never more apparent than in this picture taken by Seal Beach resident and photographer Tim Western.
A recent storm brought pounding surf and pouring rain at the coast and left area mountains buried in snow. The pier in Seal Beach is the best place to capture it all, according to Western.
