Lori Lightfoot testifies about 2022 death threat in Chicago

Former Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot testified in court about a death threat she received in 2022. The threat, sent via a city email, included racial slurs and stated that the sender had a "bullet with her name on it." Lightfoot described the threat as traumatizing and expressed fear for her family's safety. She noted that the content was particularly disturbing and led to increased security measures for her. The trial involves William Kohles, who faces felony charges for threatening a public official. His defense claims he was venting without real intent, citing his learning disabilities and health issues.
