The arrangement will be the same for two other holiday classics, with “A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving” free Nov. Brown had suffered several head wounds and the Cook County medical examiner’s office determined the injuries were caused by an assault and ruled her death a homicide. Prosecutors, citing surveillance video from a camera positioned steps from the only door to Brown’s home, said Gaines was the only person seen entering or leaving the apartment during the time Brown is believed to have been killed.

To the bowl of brown butter, add brown sugar, half of the granulated sugar and blend, using paddle attachment or electric hand mixer on medium speed until well blended and creamy, about one minute. 12, police were called to Brown’s apartment twice — first by Gaines who reported her mother was stealing her disability payments, and then by Brown who she said her daughter refused to leave her home, prosecutors said. The officers escorted Gaines from the building.

An assistant public defender told the judge that Gaines has “absolutely, positively no criminal background,” and worked last Christmas “ringing a bell” for the Salvation Army. She was unlikely to pose a risk to anyone if released pending trial, the attorney argued, noting that Gaines has great difficulty walking and suffers from arthritis.
