McHenry man vows eventual trial

WOODSTOCK – In a wheelchair being pushed down the courthouse hallways by his attorney, a man accused of trying to hire a hit man to kill his son vowed to recover from lung cancer to stand trial.

“As soon as I’m able, we’re going to go [to trial],” William G. Gersch said. “I’m not running from this at all.”

In March 2007, FBI agents and McHenry County sheriff’s deputies arrested Gersch, 63, of McHenry, at a Janesville, Wis., restaurant.
