The prosecution in the trial of Plainfield landlord Joseph Czuba also showed several photos Wadee Alfayoumi's injuries to the jury — positioning the screen in a way that the jurors and judge could see but not the people watching from the gallery.

Prosectors argued that the 2023 killing of Wadee Alfayoumi, 6, in suburban Chicago was motivated by anti-Muslim hate.

Joseph Czuba, 73, is accused of fatally stabbing the 6-year-old and wounding the boy's mother, who were his tenants, after the Israel-Hamas war started in 2023.
