Joseph "Joey" Lacyniak, 34, was charged with first-degree murder in the Monday morning death of John Hughes Jr..
Lacyniak stabbed Hughes several times inside Lacyniak's home in the 200 block of West 31st Street at about 1:45 a.m. The two were quarreling over a woman.
Hughes, of the 700 block of Elizabeth Street in West Chicago, was taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
Lacyniak was previously charged with first-degree murder and aggravated battery with a firearm in 1997.
The following year, the then-20-year-old received concurrent 50- and 25-year prison sentences following a jury trial before Judge Michael Toomin, court records show. But an appeals court ordered a new trial for Lacyniak in 2004.
In 2006, Lacyniak pleaded guilty to murder and was sentenced to 20 years in prison, but was later allowed to withdraw his guilty plea

So, why is he not in prison??? If he were, this wouldn't have happened. Shame on our judicial system.
And Canaryville is no better.
