Illinois landlord sentenced to 53 years over hate-crime killing of six-year-old

An Illinois landlord, Joseph Czuba, was sentenced to 53 years for killing a six-year-old Muslim boy and wounding his mother in a hate crime linked to the Israel-Gaza war. The attack occurred days after the conflict began, with Czuba targeting them due to their Islamic faith. Evidence included graphic photos and a 911 call, prompting fears of anti-Muslim discrimination in areas with a large Palestinian community.
