WHEATON, Ill. (AP) - A DuPage County judge has sentenced a Naperville man to 43 years in prison for the 2012 fatal stabbing of a suburban Chicago teacher at a bar.
Judge Kathryn Creswell announced the sentence for 31-year-old Daniel J. Olaska on Wednesday morning. He was found guilty in March in the death of 24-year-old Shaun Wild, who was in his first year as a second-grade teacher at Spring Brook Elementary School in Naperville when he died.
The stabbing happened Feb. 4, 2012, at Frankie’s Blue Room in downtown Naperville. Prosecutors say Olaska stabbed Wild when Wild tried to grab Olaska after Olaska stabbed a third man.
Defense attorney Ernie Di Benedetto said Olaska feels bad about what happened and is disappointed in the result.
