Week in Review: Bears land 'Hard Knocks' • 911 calls released from police shooting • Trump verdict reached

CHICAGO - The Chicago Bears were chosen to be on the hit HBO show "Hard Knocks;" 911 calls were released from a deadly police shooting in Carol Stream; and former President Donald Trump learned his fate in the trial of his hush money case.

These are the top stories on Fox 32's Week in Review. 

How Matt Eberflus and the players reacted to the Chicago Bears going on 'Hard Knocks'

We're less 100 days away from the 2024 Chicago Bears season. That's a season that's already inspired new hope and excitement from within the franchise to the fan base.

Before that season kicks off, the excitement and hope that will flow through training camp will be shown off on "Hard Knocks."

Bears coach Matt Eberflus said Friday he doesn't see that as a negative in his mind.

"We had a real positive attitude about it and we know that we had good people in the building and our message was going to be, who we are and how we operate," Eberflus said. "No one changes how they act. No one changes what they do. We just focus on our job."

911 calls released in fatal Carol Stream shooting of Isaac Goodlow III

The 911 calls from the shooting of Isaac Goodlow III in Carol Stream have been released.

The initial audio file is about three minutes long, and you can also hear police talk with the dispatcher for seven minutes.

The call is from Feb. 3, when Goodlow allegedly got into an argument that turned physical with his girlfriend. That's when her sister picked up the phone and dialed 911.

In the tapes, you hear her and the police asking for a key to enter his apartment.

Carol Stream police were heard knocking on the door in the background. In less than a second after officers got a key from maintenance, they entered Goodlow's Villagebrook Apartment and started shooting.

Trump found guilty in hush-money case; sentencing set for July

Former President Donald Trump sat stone-faced in court Thursday as a New York jury found him guilty of falsifying business records in an attempt to bury stories about extramarital affairs that arose during his 2016 presidential campaign.

Judge Juan Merchan, who oversaw the case, has set Trump's sentencing for July 11, just days before the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee.

Jurors over the course of a month heard testimony about sex and bookkeeping, tabloid journalism and presidential politics. Their task was to decide whether prosecutors, who charged Trump with 34 counts of falsifying business records, proved that he not only falsified those records, but that he did so with intent to commit or conceal another crime. 

After deliberating for 9.5 hours over two days, they rejected the former president’s claims that the bookkeeping was legitimate and accurate.
