Earlier this month Shane Lamb was arrested by McHenry County Sheriff's Deputy Urgo on two charges of Battery. Charges were filed on November 5, and the local paper carried no details, such as the time or location of the arrest or the names of the victims. The victims, of course, would become the witnesses in court when the case was tried.
Lamb may have been one of the last persons to see Brian Carrick, then 17, alive on December 20, 2002. Lamb was granted some degree of immunity as part of a deal to testify against Mario Casciaro, whose family owned the grocery store in Johnsburg where Carrick worked part-time.
Lamb was arrested in McHenry County this month after striking David Zaborowski and Patrick Ruskin in their faces with his closed fist, causing swelling and lacerations to the face of each.
Lamb was released on $1,500 bond. On November 19 his case in McHenry County Circuit Court was continued to December 10 for a plea. Lamb has no attorney-of-record yet.
It is interesting to me that Deputy Urgo charged Lamb in one Complaint for the two batteries. It seems to be that he should have separated the complaints, filing one involving the battery against Zaborowski and a second against Ruskin.
The Counts fail to state the location at which the batteries occurred. Let's hope that's not a fatal flaw or cause for early dismissal.
It was noted on the Complaint that Lamb's arrest was a "WARANTLESS [sic] ARREST". (How many years do you suppose "Warantless" has been misspelled on the form?

No big deal. The States Attorney can always amend the case in court and add or delete charges.
