Quote:Two Chicago men pleaded guilty to charges Thursday after they admitted to beating a Northern Illinois University student during the 2006 NIU Homecoming weekend.
Martell D. Hunter, 20, and his brother Danell Hunter, 19, both pleaded guilty during a court hearing at the DeKalb County Courthouse in Sycamore to three counts of aggravated battery, First Assistant State's Attorney Joe Cullen said during a phone interview Monday.
Martell Hunter was also charged with robbery. Aggravated battery is a Class 3 felony, punishable by up to five years in prison. Robbery is a Class 2 felony that can result in a sentence of up to seven years in prison.
In the morning of Saturday, Oct. 21, 2006, Justin Pisellini, who was 18 at the time, was walking with a friend outside Grant Towers North at 1250 Grant Drive to pick up a delivered pizza. A vehicle pulled up, and a passenger demanded the pizza. Pisellini refused.
Four people reportedly exited the vehicle and then beat up Pisellini. He was admitted to Kishwaukee Community Hospital in DeKalb with a broken eye socket and broken cheekbones, according to Laurie Pisellini, his mother.
One of the two other suspects is 21-year-old Gregory Daniels of Chicago, who recently pleaded guilty to aggravated battery, after being served with a warrant in relation to the incident, Cullen said. A warrant has also been served to Christopher Jones, 25, of Chicago, but he hasn't been arrested yet, Cullen said.
Martell Hunter will be in court for a sentencing hearing Dec. 17. Danell Hunter will be in court for sentencing Jan. 23.
