About this Article

A Libertyville man convicted of a hate crime for carving racist sentiments onto a ledge at the home of an African-American dorm supervisor at Elmhurst College apologized Tuesday before he was sentenced to probation and community service. "I'm really, really sorry for everybody -- not just (the victim) but everybody in the black community," Myles Burton, 21, said.
