Justice for #22: Teen driver gets stiff sentence in fatal crash
SUMMARY: A teen driver, John Break, was sentenced to the maximum 10 years in prison for a fatal crash in Kirkwood, Missouri, in May 2024. Break, 19, pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter after running a red light at 99 mph while drinking from a gallon jug of alcohol. The victim, Sarah, known as Number 22, was described as the heart of her family. The emotional courtroom heard tearful testimony from both the victim’s and defendant’s families. Despite the defense’s plea for probation, the judge sentenced Break to prison, citing the need for accountability.
A tearful courtroom was stunned after a judge gave the maximum sentence to a teen accused of a fatal crash. Only FOX 2 was in the courtroom for the tense moments in a heartbreaking case.

Kyle Schwarber’s 3 homers in All-Star Game’s first tiebreaking swing-off lift NL over AL
SUMMARY: Kyle Schwarber, despite nerves, hit three home runs in the first-ever All-Star Game swing-off, helping the National League win 7-6 after a 6-6 tie with the American League. Schwarber, who didn’t get a hit during the game but earned MVP, overcame a two-homer deficit in the swing-off, which MLB introduced in 2022 to address pitcher usage limits. The NL’s victory came after a late AL comeback erased a six-run deficit. The new swing-off format, similar to a soccer shootout, had each side’s batters take three swings each. The game also featured fast pitching, a robot umpire debut, and a return to regular-season jerseys.
