JANESVILLE
Rock County Judge John Wood sees a lot of different cases, but he said itâs hard to find any more serious than those involving a loss of life.
Everyone who spoke Wednesday in Rock County Court agreed that Corvasie S. Weaver should go to prison for fatally shooting James C. Chestnut III, 40, outside a house party in Janesville in January 2020.
âI regret everything from that night. Iâm very remorseful for what happened that night. I wish I could take it back, but I canât,â Weaver said. âThat decision I made, I have to live with the consequences. Iâm willing to accept my fate, whatever that may be, because I was wrong.â

Attorneys reach a plea deal for a Janesville stabbing suspect in a case prosecutors described as “he said, he said.”
30-year-old Shedrick Baldwin of Beloit was originally charged with attempted first-degree intentional homicide for the 2018 stabbing of Ladale Johnson over a woman Baldwin was in a relationship with.
He pleaded guilty Tuesday to an amended charge of second-degree recklessly endangering safety, and Rock County Judge Barbara McCrory sentenced him to 14 months in prison followed by 30 months of extended supervision.
Defense attorney Walt Isaacson said Baldwin was being choked by Johnson when he stabbed him, and the two had a prior history of altercations.
