A little over two years ago, a 23-year-old model and former stripper from the Chicago area attempted to kill herself after an argument with her mother by ramming her car into another at high speed in an intersection. The accident took the lives of three Chicago musicians: Michael Dahlquist of Silkworm, John Glick of the Returnables, and Doug Meis of The Dials. Jeanette Sliwinski survived her suicide attempt with a broken ankle.
Today, her murder trial begins with jury selection, with opening arguments slated to begin late today or tomorrow. Read about it in the Chicago Sun-Times or the Chicago Tribune.
The Chicagoist perfectly summarizes my feelings on this matter.
While i personally did not know any of the people killed, i know many of their friends (many of them can be found on this thread on Electrical Audio’s Messageboard), and my thoughts and prayers go out to them today. Be strong, my friends.
