Man guilty of '69 shooting out of jail

A Canadian man who pleaded guilty in February to the 1969 shooting of a Chicago police officer has been released from Cook County jail. In exchange for his guilty plea to an aggravated battery charge, Joseph Pannell, 58, was sentenced to 30 days in jail and two years' probation. He also agreed to give $250,000 to the Chicago Police Memorial Foundation, a fund for the families of injured or fallen officers. Money for the donation came from Pannell supporters in Toronto and defense attorneys in the Chicago area, according to his attorneys. Pannell was 19 when he shot Terrence Knox in the arm. For about three decades, Pannell raised a family and worked as a library assistant near Toronto under an alias. Pannell was arrested in Canada in 2004.
