Thirty-nine year old Boguslaw Czapla, previously of Elmwood Park, was found guilty yesterday of felony offenses of aggravated battery and mob action. According to a report from McHenry County State's Attorney, Louis A. Bianchi, the guilty charge was handed down by a McHenry County jury following a four-day trial. The jury deliberated for approximately two hours before finding the defendant guilty of both charges.
Trial testimony revealed that the defendant and the victim were attending a birthday party for a two-year old child on July 19, 2008. An argument ensued and towards the end of the party, the defendant kicked the thirty-two year old victim in the face causing the loss of his right eye.
Czapla faces either probation or two to five years in prison for the more serious charge of aggravated battery. The case is scheduled for sentencing hearing on December 15, 2010. The case was investigated by Detective Kevin Keane and other members of the Huntley Police Department. This case was prosecuted by Assistant State's Attorney Ryan Blackney and Criminal Division Chief Philip Hiscock.
