LOS ANGELES — A jury has found former major-league outfielder Yasiel Puig guilty of obstruction of justice and lying to federal officials investigating an illegal gambling operation, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said Friday.

The verdict came after a multiweek trial that featured testimony from Major League Baseball officials and Donny Kadokawa, a Hawaii baseball coach whom Puig placed bets through. Puig now faces up to 20 years in federal prison and is scheduled to be sentenced May 26.

Puig, 35, initially pled guilty to a felony charge of lying to federal agents investigating an illegal gambling operation. He acknowledged in an August 2022 plea agreement that he racked up more than $280,000 in losses over a few months in 2019 while wagering on tennis, football and basketball games through a third party who worked for an illegal gambling operation run by Wayne Nix, a former minor-league baseball player.

Nix pled guilty in 2022 to conspiracy to operate an illegal gambling business and subscribing to a false tax return. He still is awaiting sentencing.

Authorities said Puig placed at least 900 bets through Nix-controlled betting websites and through a man who worked for Nix.

Prosecutors said that during a January 2022 interview with federal investigators, Puig denied knowing about the nature of his bets, whom he was betting with and the circumstances of paying his gambling debts.

But he changed his tune months later, announcing that he was switching his plea to not guilty because of “significant new evidence,” according to a statement from his attorneys in Los Angeles.

“I want to clear my name,” Puig said in the statement. “I never should have agreed to plead guilty to a crime I did not commit.”

The government argued that he intentionally misled the federal investigators. They played in court audio clips of Puig speaking English and brought expert witnesses to testify on Puig’s cognitive abilities, the New York Times reported.

His attorneys said that Puig, who has a third-grade education, had untreated mental-health issues and did not have his own interpreter or criminal legal counsel with him during the interview with federal investigators in which he purportedly lied.

Puig’s former attorney Steven Gebelin testified that during the January 2022 interview, Puig tried to be helpful in answering the investigators’ questions and the interpreter struggled with Puig’s Spanish dialect, according to the New York Times.

Puig batted .277 with 132 home runs and 415 RBIs in seven major-league seasons, the first six with the Los Angeles Dodgers, with whom he earned an All-Star selection in 2014.

Dodgers broadcaster Vin Scully called Puig the “wild horse” for his on-field antics and talent at a young age, reaching the majors at 22, a year after escaping his home country of Cuba.

He played for the Cincinnati Reds and Cleveland in 2019 before becoming a free agent. He then played in the Mexican League and last year he signed a one-year, $1 million contact with South Korea’s Kiwoom Heroes.

A 36-year-old woman was discovered fatally wounded Friday inside a residence in the West Ridge neighborhood on the city’s Far North Side, Chicago police said.

The victim was found shortly after 9 a.m. in a residence in the 6900 block of North Bell Avenue with at least one gunshot wound to the abdomen, police said. She was pronounced dead at the scene. Her identity wasn’t immediately released, but an autopsy is scheduled for Saturday.

No one was in custody for the fatal shooting and detectives were investigating.

A Merrillville man was sentenced Friday to 83 years in his ex-girlfriend’s death.

A jury convicted Dennis Jelks, 60, in December of murder and a gun enhancement in the January 2021 death of Angela Carrier, 37, of Crown Point.

Carrier went with relatives on Jan. 26, 2021, to the Merrillville Menards to get her Social Security mail from Jelks after a breakup. Once there, Jelks claimed he didn’t have it. He convinced Carrier to leave with him around 1:35 p.m., and she was never seen alive again.

Her body was found Jan. 30 near a tree in Gary’s Gleason Park.

Jelks said he would appeal.

At trial, defense lawyer Michael Lambert wrote in court filings that prosecutors had “no direct evidence” or “physical evidence” tying Jelks to her death. They “created a tale” to fit “their narrative,” he wrote.

Carrier struggled with drugs, Lambert wrote, citing her mother’s testimony, and would “go away for extended periods of time.” Her family said she would always call when she disappeared, prosecutors said.

In person, or in letters, a half-dozen of Carrier’s relatives spoke in court Friday of their lasting grief.

Her son Caleb Carrier said he was 16 when his “best friend” was killed – “an age when you still need your mom.” His mother was an artist who “lit up” the room, someone who made “life feel bigger and better.”

She was a “real person, who mattered,” Carrier’s cousin Rhiannon Hubinger said.

She called Jelks a “coward” who “left her out in the cold during a snowstorm for other people to find.”

To add insult to injury, Jelks pretended like he was looking for her, she said.

Another cousin, Taylor Stern, said she and Carrier grew up together playing at their grandmother’s home. She read a letter from Rose Jones, Carrier’s mother, who was in court, saying Jelks killed her only child.

“I loved her every day of her life,” Jones wrote. “She had a beautiful spirit and a strong presence.”

After Carrier disappeared, her stepfather Shannon Smith recorded a call he made to Jelks, accusing the other man of having something to do with it. Jelks denied it.

On Friday, Smith went to the stand and briefly smiled, then said he had nothing else to say.

“Remember that smile,” he told Jelks on the way back to his seat.

In a letter, Carrier’s daughter Shianne wrote her mother was “constantly drawing and painting.”

Jelks called her repeatedly after her mother disappeared.

“I never lost hope,” she wrote, “but now I question why I ever had hope.”

Her mother died five months before Shianne graduated from college and had her shoes picked out to wear to her daughter’s commencement ceremony. She was “chasing the life” Carrier wanted for her.

“He took our future with her,” Shianne wrote.

Deputy Prosecutor Chris Bruno said Jelks had 29 police contacts. He signed a plea deal in another domestic violence case involving Carrier three weeks before her death.

It was “no secret” they had a roughly decade-long “tumultuous relationship,” but that didn’t justify killing her, he argued.

Jelks used the “ruse” of her mail to “get Ms. Carrier alone” and executed her in Gleason Park, Bruno said, leaving her for dead. Then, he pretended to her family like he had an interest in finding her.

The prosecutor argued Jelks’ police cooperation was a ploy to learn what investigators had on him. Getting his “version out” while slandering Carrier backfired, the prosecutor said.

Jelks told investigators after leaving Menards, he went with her to buy marijuana from “Tone” near 42nd Avenue and Jackson Street. Two car doors opened, and Carrier got into a black car that took off.

He fell, dropped his keys and lost track of the other car, he said. He called 911, records show. Det. Nick Wardrip discounted his story, writing that it wasn’t backed up by evidence.

In court, Bruno asked for 75 years.

Lambert argued Jelks’ criminal history was “non-violent.”

Prosecutors only had a “theory” and an “interpretation of the evidence.” He asked for a minimum sentence capped at 50 years.

Jelks maintained his innocence.

“I didn’t hurt no one,” he said. “I care for that lady.”

Cappas sentenced Jelks, telling Carrier’s family “no magic number” would erase their pain.

At the hearing’s end, Jelks agreed to legally admit a subsequent arrest, so he could get time served in a previous cocaine dealing case.

Porter County Sheriff Jeff Balon, Porter County Council Vice President Red Stone, and Porter County Auditor Karen Martin appear to be running for reelection unopposed, as of press time Friday afternoon, according to the county’s Elections & Registration Office website.

Elections & Registration Office staff couldn’t say when the process of manually entering all the candidates would be completed, but said the last hour of filing from 11 a.m. to noon on Friday was hectic.

The clerk, recorder, and assessor races each have one Republican and Democrat running. Republican and Deputy Clerk Jackie Haney will face off against Democratic Valparaiso City Council Member Barbara Domer for the clerk’s seat that will be vacated by Democrat Jessica Bailey, who has termed out. Deputy Recorder Jon Miller, a Republican, is running against Democrat Leslie Nuss Bamesberger for the recorder’s job. Incumbent Assessor Sue Neff, a Republican, is unopposed for the primary, but will face Democrat Scott Kingan in the general election.

Three Republicans – Jeff Beach, Chief Deputy Coroner Brian Bowles, and Jerame Simpson — will vie in the primary to make it on the party’s ticket for coroner against Democrat Julie Wiencken-Smith in November.

In the District 2 Commissioner race to fill the seat held by Commissioner Barb Regnitz, R-Center, who isn’t running for reelection but has instead put her hat in the ring for Frank Mrvan’s First District Congressional seat, both parties will hold primary contests. Porter County Councilman Mike Brickner, R-At-Large, and Porter County Coroner Cyndi Dykes are each seeking the Republican slot on the November ballot, while Democrats James Kocal and Kyle Nelsen are competing to compete against one of them.

The County Council District 2 race has one candidate from each party. Republican Spencer Lemmons and Democrat Brian Gulley will advance to the general election in the fight for Councilman Jeremy Rivas’ seat. Rivas, who currently sits as a Democrat, announced at the end of the last county council meeting that if he chooses to run for reelection, it will be as an independent. Candidate filing for independents doesn’t close until summer.

County Council President Andy Vasquez, R-4th, is being challenged by Republican Craig Kenworthy in his reelection campaign. The winner will face Democrat Julia Kocal in November. County Councilman Greg Simms, D-3rd, is being challenged by Democrat Jack Tipold in his reelection bid, while Republicans Dawn Miller and Kyle Reynolds will square off in May to represent their party.

Liberty Township Trustee Matt Keiser, Pleasant Township Trustee Karyl Van Dyke, Porter Township Trustee Chris Hendon, and Washington Township Trustee Scott Gilbert, all Republicans, are seeking reelection unopposed. Republican Andy Blastick is running unopposed for Morgan Township Trustee.

Jackson Township has two Republicans running to be trustee: Rudolph Jimenez and Julie Wagner. One of them will face Democrat Mary Willis in November. The other half of the townships each have only one candidate from each party.

Several incumbent township trustees are running unopposed in the primary, but will have a race in the general. In Boone Township, incumbent Republican Howard O’Connor will compete against Democrat David Ramsey. Incumbent Portage Township Trustee Brendan Clancy is running for reelection against Republican Nicholas Pappas in the fall. Incumbent Union Township Trustee Republican George Topoll will face Democrat Angela Forystek in November. And incumbent Westchester Township Trustee Suzanne Philbrick, a Democrat, faces Republican Todd Elliott in the general election.

Porter County Recorder Chuck Harris is the Republican candidate for Center Township Trustee against Democrat Kevin Hagen. Republican James Phares and Democrat Matthew Smith are seeking the Pine Township Trustee office.

Kouts and Ogden Dunes are the only towns with elections this cycle. Republican John Schoon is running for Kouts Town Council, District 4, unopposed, and there are no candidates for the Council, District 2 election. Democrat Amy Parry is running for Ogden Dunes Town Clerk, while Democrat Jordan Bailey is running for Ogden Dunes Council At-Large. There are no candidates for the Southern Ward seat.

Elgin Public Museum employees were busy in January, putting into place 20 new exhibits during the month that the Lords Park facility is annually closed for cleaning and maintenance work.

“This year we were in hyperdrive all month preparing so many new things,” museum Director Sharry Blazier of the additions now available for public viewing.

An exhibit for a modest museum like Elgin’s is often a single glass case, not a huge display like you might find at Chicago’s Field Museum, Blazier said. But adding 20 such cases is a lot for them, and the changes are notable given that they also reworked the layout with the help of staff members, board members, interns and volunteers, she said.

Some of the new cases were funded with a $20,000 grant from the Seigle Foundation, which Blazier jokingly said they made use of like it was “Stretch Armstrong,” the stretchable children’s toy.

Eight slim cases were custom-made by Jim Eby to fit against the second-floor railings in a way that improves safety while allowing for an open view of the museum ceiling and the hall below. The increased exhibit space let them bring out many things that have been in storage for yours and possibly have never been seen by the public, Blazier said.

Among the items that can now be viewed are delicate seahorses that have been in the museum’s collection for more than 100 years, an odd-looking pufferfish and contraband items confiscated long ago by customs agents and the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service at O’Hare International Airport in Chicago.

The latter includes carved ivory pieces made from the tusks of endangered species, alligator purses, and boots made from seal fur. The confiscated goods came into the possession of the museum circa 2000, when museums were offered a chance to choose pieces from a government warehousee, Blazier said.

Display cases designed and built by Jim Eby have been placed along the railing on the second floor of the Elgin Public Museum. Not only do they allow items long kept in storage to be seen, they provide a protective safety barrier for visitors. (Lynda Hayes)

“We are allowed to have them as a means to educate the public not to try to smuggle these types of objects in or out of the country,” she said. “Often people don’t even realize that what they’ve spent big tourist bucks on will be taken from them when they get to customs at the airport. Not realizing you have something illegal doesn’t mean you get to keep it, and your money will be lost.”

Another new display features an ancient sea life diorama that includes Oddball Art Studios’ Mike Rende’s vibrant sculptures of a Tully Monster, an ammonite, an opabinia and a trilobite set up in an underwater scene created by museum board President Judy Hayner.

“As soon as Judy finished it, I said it would be a fan favorite, and it already is. It’s colorful and beautiful,” Blazier said.

The museum also now offers a rotating exhibit that will change every few months to spotlight different cultural heritages in the area. The initial presentation is called “The World in Elgin: Our Jewish Community.”

Rabbi Margaret Frisch Klein of Elgin’s Congregation Kneseth Israel assisted in curating the display, with the congregation lending items for it. They include an old red velvet Torah case and many items typically used during annual Jewish holidays, festivals and observances.

“The point is simply to build understanding and respect,” Blazier said. “Elgin is a wonderfully diverse city and it’s important, especially in these rancorous times, to get to know each others’ traditions and appreciate the many communities within our community.”

The museum also set up an Amazon Wish List in 2025 in which supporters were asked to purchase items that could be used to refurbish the Discovery Room for children.

“We have new adjustable tables so that younger kids can sit or stand at them to do activities, which will be changed out frequently,” Blazier said.

New setups include Learn About Tornados, with “tornado bottles,” she said, and a Magnification Station with magnifying glasses, an eyepiece microscope and a Wentzscope, each of which is meant to be used by different age groups.

“We also have some new dinosaur materials and have them all in one area of the room, with a cool Tyrannosaurus rex backdrop,” Blazier said.

While the work putting together all of the new exhibits could at times be strenuous and exhausting, the outcome is well worth it, she said.

“What good is having all that extra stuff stored in dark rooms, never seen? This is what we love doing, what we’re supposed to be doing, and we hope the public will enjoy it,” Blazier said.

MILAN — Featuring tributes to da Vinci and Dante, Puccini and Pausini, Armani and Fellini, pasta and vino and other iconic tastes of Italian culture — plus Mariah Carey hitting all the high notes in “Nel Blu Dipinto Di Blu” aka “Volare” — an unprecedented four-site, dual-cauldron opening ceremony officially started the Milan Cortina Olympics on Friday.

Allowing athletes to participate in the Parade of Nations at the mountain locales for the most spread-out Winter Games in history created what perhaps was an unintended consequence: Zero competitors from any of the first five countries announced actually showed up at the main hub, Milan’s San Siro soccer stadium.

Photos: Opening ceremony for the 2026 Winter Olympics

While signs bearing the names of Greece — which always leads the procession as the birthplace of the Olympics — Albania, Andorra, Saudi Arabia and Argentina were carried into the home of Serie A soccer titans AC Milan and Inter Milan, there were no athletes from those places around. Instead, they were participating at simultaneous festivities held at Cortina d’Ampezzo in the heart of the Dolomites, Livigno in the Alps, and Predazzo in the autonomous province of Trento.

The first country with athletes at San Siro was Armenia — and their entrance drew raucous cheers from a crowd filled with 61,000 ticket-holders plus others.

Later, a smattering of boos met Israel’s four representatives at the Milan ceremony. There have been some calls for Israel to be banned from the Olympics over the war in Gaza, which began with Hamas’ deadly attack in October 2023.

And while athletes from the U.S. were cheered when they appeared, Vice President JD Vance was jeered when he was shown briefly on the arena’s video boards from his spot in the tribune. Support for the United States among its allies has been eroding as the Trump administration has taken an aggressive posture on foreign policy, including punishing tariffs, military action in Venezuela and threats to invade Greenland.

The contingent from Venezuela got a big backing when entering. So did that from Ukraine, where a war continues four years after Russia invaded.

The ceremony’s organizers have said they sought to convey themes of harmony and peace, seeking to represent the city-mountain dichotomy of the particularly unusual setup for these Olympics while also trying to appeal to a sense of unity at a time of global tensions. South African actor Charlize Theron and Italian rapper Ghali delivered messages of peace toward the end of the night.

“I hope the opening ceremony is seen by everyone as an opportunity to be respectful,” new International Olympic Committee President Kirsty Coventry said when asked this week about possible crowd reactions.

The loudest greeting was reserved, naturally, for host Italy, which walked in last, to an electronic version of “The Barber of Seville.”

2026 Winter Olympics: What to know about the Milan Cortina Games, including how — and who — to watch

The ceremony was already nearly three hours old — and not yet done — by the time Italian President Sergio Mattarella officially declared the Milan Cortina Games open following a speech by Coventry, the first woman to lead the IOC.

“Thank you for believing in the magic of the Olympic Games,” she said, then several minutes later made sure to make mention of the “media rights holders” who pay to broadcast the event.

Soon, tenor Andrea Bocelli’s voice was belting out Puccini’s “Nessun Dorma” and its closing refrain of “Vincerò,” Italian for “I will win!” As he concluded, torch bearers headed out of the arena toward a cauldron at the Arch of Peace, 2½ miles from San Siro.

One symbol of how far-flung things are at these Olympics: Instead of the usual one cauldron that is lit and burns throughout the Games, there were two, both intended as an homage to Leonardo da Vinci’s geometric studies. The other is 250 miles (400 kilometers) away in Cortina.

All three flame-lighters — Alberto Tomba and Deborah Compagnoni in Milan, and Sofia Goggia in Cortina — are Olympic champion Alpine ski racers from Italy. Tomba and Compagnoni are retired; Goggia is entered in the 2026 Games.

The full collection of competition venues for the next two-plus weeks dot an area of about 8,500 square miles, roughly the size of the entire state of New Jersey. The multicity ceremony format Friday allowed up-in-the-mountains sports such as Alpine skiing, bobsled, curling and snowboarding to be represented without requiring folks to make the several-hourslong trek to Milan.

It didn’t exactly feel like a Winter Games in the country’s financial capital, where the temperature was a tad below 50 degrees, and the sky was a crisp, clear azure all afternoon Friday. Not a trace of clouds, let alone snow.

As Italy welcomed the world by displaying symbols of its heritage, the show produced by Olympic ceremony veteran Marco Balich began with dancers from the academy of the famed Milan opera house Teatro alla Scala reimagining 18th-century sculptor Antonio Canova’s marble works.

People wearing oversized, mascot-style heads representing opera composers Giacomo Puccini, Gioachino Rossini and Giuseppe Verdi appeared on the central stage, before giant paint tubes floated above and dropped silk of red, blue and yellow — the primary colors — before an early parade of various-color-wearing characters arrived in the stadium. They represented music and art, literature and architecture, appreciations for beauty and history and, above all, “La Dolce Vita” (loosely, Italian for “The Good Life” and the name of a 1960 film by Federico Fellini).

There were references to ancient Rome, the Renaissance, the Venice Carnival and the country’s noted traditions in various areas such as cuisine and literature, such as “Pinocchio” and Dante’s “Inferno.”

A runway walk showcased outfits — created by the late fashion designer Giorgio Armani, who died last year at 91 — in the colors of Italy’s flag: red, green and white. And balladeer Laura Pausini sang Italy’s national anthem.

Carey got loud cheers in Milan as she sang in Italian. In Cortina, hundreds of fans sang along with her, and a roar emerged when they realized she was performing the song with the “Volare” refrain.

Another local touch: Italian actress Sabrina Impacciatore, of “White Lotus” fame, led a segment that took viewers through a century of past Olympics, with examples of evolving equipment, sportswear and music. And actress and comedian Brenda Lodigiani demonstrated the popular Italian hand gestures often used to communicate in place of words.

LOS ÁNGELES (AP) — Un jurado ha declarado culpable al ex jardinero cubano de las Grandes Ligas Yasiel Puig de obstrucción a la justicia y de mentir a funcionarios federales que investigaban una operación de apuestas ilegales, informó el viernes la Oficina del Fiscal de Estados Unidos.

El veredicto llegó tras un juicio de varias semanas que incluyó testimonios de funcionarios de las Grandes Ligas de Béisbol y de Donny Kadokawa, un entrenador de béisbol de Hawái a través del cual Puig realizaba apuestas. Ahora, Puig enfrenta una posible pena de hasta 20 años en una prisión federal.

Inicialmente, Puig se declaró culpable de un cargo de delito grave por mentir a agentes federales que investigaban una operación de apuestas ilegales. Reconoció en un acuerdo de culpabilidad de agosto de 2022 que acumuló más de 280,000 dólares en pérdidas durante unos meses en 2019 al apostar en partidos de tenis, fútbol americano y baloncesto a través de un tercero que trabajaba para una operación de apuestas ilegales dirigida por Wayne Nix, un exjugador de béisbol de ligas menores.

Nix se declaró culpable en 2022 de conspiración para operar un negocio de apuestas ilegales y de presentar una declaración de impuestos falsa. Aún está esperando su sentencia.

Las autoridades dijeron que Puig realizó al menos 900 apuestas a través de sitios web de apuestas controlados por Nix y a través de un hombre que trabajaba para Nix.

Los fiscales dijeron que durante una entrevista en enero de 2022 con investigadores federales, negó conocer la naturaleza de sus apuestas, con quién apostaba y las circunstancias de pago de sus deudas de juego.

Pero cambió su postura meses después, anunciando que cambiaría su declaración a no culpable debido a “nuevas pruebas significativas”, según un comunicado de sus abogados en Los Ángeles.

“Quiero limpiar mi nombre”, dijo Puig en el comunicado. “Nunca debí haber aceptado declararme culpable de un crimen que no cometí”.

El gobierno argumentó que intencionalmente engañó a los investigadores federales. Presentaron en la corte grabaciones de audio de Puig hablando en inglés y llevaron testigos expertos para testificar sobre las habilidades cognitivas de Puig, informó el New York Times.

Sus abogados dijeron que Puig, quien tiene una educación de tercer grado, tenía problemas de salud mental no tratados y no contaba con su propio intérprete ni con asesoría legal criminal durante la entrevista con los investigadores federales donde supuestamente mintió.

El exabogado de Puig, Steven Gebelin, testificó que durante la entrevista de enero de 2022, Puig intentó ser útil al responder las preguntas de los investigadores y el intérprete tuvo dificultades con el dialecto del español de Puig, según el New York Times.

Puig bateó para .277 con 132 jonrones y 415 carreras impulsadas durante siete temporadas en las Grandes Ligas, las primeras seis con los Dodgers, donde obtuvo una selección al Juego de Estrellas en 2014.

El locutor de los Dodgers, Vin Scully, llamó a Puig el “caballo salvaje” por sus travesuras en el campo y su talento a una edad temprana, uniéndose a la MLB a los 22 años, un año después de escapar de su país natal, Cuba.

Jugó para los Rojos de Cincinnati y los Indios de Cleveland en 2019 antes de convertirse en agente libre. Luego jugó en la Liga Mexicana y el año pasado firmó un contrato de un año por un millón con los Kiwoom Heroes de Corea del Sur.
