Michael Flisk was Nora Flisk’s “knight in shining armor,” a devoted husband who went to all his children’s baseball games and fixed their cars when they were stranded.
To daughter, Margaret, the Chicago Police evidence technician was a “blessing.”
And for D’Jana Peters, her husband Stephen, was a “perfect living example of unconditional love.”
The loss and devastation the women experienced after their loved ones were shot to death on the South Side were described in detail Friday before the men’s killer was sentenced to life in prison.
“I have been sentenced to a lifetime of sadness and sorrow, which I fear will never subside all due to a choice you made for us,” Nora Flisk told Timothy Herring in a victim-impact statement Assistant Cook County State’s Attorney Thomas Mahoney read in court.
D’Jana Peters told Herring that it was “hell” waiting for him to go to trial for the Nov. 26, 2010, double murders.
“Now, your hell is just beginning,” an emotional D’Jana Peters said, looking at 24-year-old Herring.
“Today, these tears I display are not tears of pain but tears of closure, tears of justice, tears of peace.”
