Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 01:41:03 GMT

After a Chisago County jury last week acquitted a Forest Lake man on two of four charges stemming from a fatal hit and run earlier this year, prosecutors decided to dismiss the two remaining charges against him, Chisago County Attorney Janet Reiter said Tuesday.The jury on Thursday found Mark Wiosky, 38, not guilty on counts of third-degree murder and criminal vehicular homicide – leaving the scene. They could not reach a unanimous verdict on the two other charges — second-degree manslaughter and criminal vehicular homicide while having methamphetamine in his system, Reiter said.“While disappointed in the outcome, we respect the jury’s decision,” she said. “They deliberated for approximately 16½ hours over two days to reach those verdicts on Thursday.

Could the Cardinals land Japanese star Yoshinobu Yamamoto?

ST. LOUIS - We're nearly a week into MLB free agency. There haven't been many big splashes yet, but it might not take long in a free agent market with plenty of upside, especially for pitching. Cy Young candidates Blake Snell and Sonny Gray are available. So are bona fide innings-eater Aaron Nola and new World Series champion Jordan Montgomery. Hitting-pitching phenom Shohei Ohtani is also a first-time free agent, but he could be sidelined from pitching for at least a year after a torn UCL. Even with stiff competition, one free agent pitcher stands out to many teams above the others. And he has yet to throw a pitch in Major League Baseball. His name? Yoshinobu Yamamoto. At 25 years old, Yamamoto is one of the most decorated pitchers in recent Japanese baseball history. He made several key starts leading up to Japan's World Baseball Classic title last spring. He is also a three-time Japanese Triple Crown winner in the Nippon Professional Baseball League and a three-time Eiji Sawamura...
