Man Found Guilty of Felony Domestic Battery

Louis A. Bianchi, McHenry County State’s Attorney, announces that a McHenry County jury found Michael S. Braun guilty of the felony offense of Domestic Battery on February 18, 2010 following a three day trial.

Defendant faces an additional charge of Harassment of a Witness stemming from an April 2008 arrest–that charge is currently pending.

The case was prosecuted by Assistant State’s Attorneys Sharyl Eisenstein and Kirk Chrzanowski.
