Baker sentencing delayed while Deerfield man re-examined by psychiatrist
Posted Feb 5, 2013 5:04 PMDaniel Baker's sentencing will have to wait another six weeks while a court-appointed psychiatrist re-examines the Deerfield man to determine if he is capable of understanding his own potential prison sentence. The decision to delay Baker's sentencing until March 20 was made after Baker penned a letter to Lake County Judge Daniel Shanes in January in which he explained that his ex-girlfriend, Kristina Aksman, killed her mother, Marina Aksman, in April 2010. In the letter, Baker said he covered up the murder to protect his mentally disabled former girlfriend.

- The Choral-aires Chorus placed second in the Community Teams category raising funds for breast cancer research last month, missing first place by only $25. The chorus raised $3,985 by the time the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure rolled around, with more donations still coming, surpassing their original goal of $3,000. The Choral-Aires has five current chorus members that either have, or have had, breast cancer. And this year, 2 of the team members discovered that their mothers have breast cancer, so they were walking on race day for their moms. One member of our team, Kara Gray, celebrated her 10 years without breast cancer this year. While not a Chorus member, she is the daughter of long-time member Martha Anderson, who also walked with the team on race day. Lindsey Herza
