The FBI released its 2010 Uniform Crime Report Monday. The north and northwest suburbs served by the Patch sites in Cook and Lake counties are listed below in charts for violent crimes and property crimes. The data reflect communities that reported crime statistics for all 12 months of 2010. Due to a change in state reporting methods, Illinois statistics from 2010 cannot be compared to 2009 statistics, according to the FBI.

Hershel Rapoport, 88, described the murder he witnessed in his West Wilmette home on Christmas Day.
Eighty-eight-year old Hershel Rapoport sat attentively in the witness stand Thursday. He was testifying during a preliminary hearing for the murder trial of his grandson, Anthony Rapoport, who is accused of killing Nancee Rapoport. Nancee is Anthony’s aunt and Hershel’s daughter-in-law. The dark-grey haired man strained at times to hear the questions from attorneys.

Hershel explained how he was standing nearby when Anthony allegedly beat Nancee with a baseball bat after an argument, and spoke about Nancee’s drug use…

Kenny Rapoport spoke with reporters following his nephew's court appearance Monday.
Monday was a long day for Kenny Rapoport. First he attended his estranged wife's funeral. Then he went to the court hearing for the nephew who is accused of killing her Christmas Day with a baseball bat. "I didn't see it coming," an emotional Kenny told reporters, following word that Anthony's hearing has been postponed to Thursday. "If I would have saw this coming I wouldn't have had him there, or her there. I would've had them separated." "It's hard," he continued, choked up, "She didn't deserve this." Nancee Rapoport, 49, had been living with Anthony, 24, and his grandparents, who are Kenny's parents, in a West Wilmette residence up until her death. Kenny had been living in Glenview, according to Assistant State's Attorney Robert …
