Confrontation at Fort Sheridan Forest Preserve that left a 45-year-old Highland Park man dead detailed by prosecutors for first time
The lawyer for one of the two Highland Park men accused of second-degree murder in the death of a man at Fort Sheridan Forest Preserve in September said Friday his client was attacked first and he will likely argue self-defense.
Firestone appeared at a bond hearing with his attorney, Jed Stone, on Friday afternoon. Bail was set at $2 million. Caban's bond hearing is set for next week.Prosecutors said Ascaridis was found in Lake Michigan several feet from shore at 5:12 a.m. Sept. 17. They said a medical examiner determined the muscles at the base of his skull were shredded, his neck had been broken and he likely had lost the ability to move.
Caban had cuts on his neck and head that required stitches, and Firestone needed surgery to treat an epidural hematoma, a collection of blood inside the skull, prosecutors said. Stone said the head injuries suffered by Caban and Firestone could have happened only if Ascaridis struck the young men first.
