McHenry's Petersen Park is pictured on Oct. 6, 2024, the day authorities allege Raymond Link, inset, randomly attacked a woman and a man who tried to stop him.
(Gregory Shaver/Inset photo provided by McHenry County Sheriff's Office)The trial is set to begin Thursday for a man who said he was a “messenger of the heavens” after a violent attack on a woman in a McHenry park that authorities said was unprovoked.
His case will be decided by McHenry County Judge Tiffany Davis because Link waived his right to a jury trial.
Records in McHenry County court show that Link initially was charged with two counts of attempted murder.
Link also ordered his dog to attack the man, prosecutors and police said.
