CRYSTAL LAKE, IL (CBS) — A McHenry County judge has set a December trial date for Andrew Freund Sr., the Crystal Lake man charged with killing his 5-year-old son, A.J., but prosecutors and defense attorneys expect to reach a plea deal next month to avoid a trial.
During a status hearing on Friday, McHenry County Judge Robert Wilbrandt set a tentative Dec. 9 trial date for Freund, 61. But McHenry County Assistant State’s Attorney Randi Freese and Freund’s appointed attorney, special public defender Henry Sugden, don’t expect the case to go to trial.
