Diana's Revenge Dress Heads to Auction | Rockford News
Princess Diana’s legendary “revenge dress” — the black silk gown she wore in 1994 during Prince Charles’s televised admission of infidelity — is back on the auction block, set to sell for $150K–$300K through Sotheby’s. Already iconic for its bold silhouette and sapphire necklace pairing, the dress was originally sold by Diana herself in 1997 to support cancer and AIDS charities. Designed by Christina Stambolian, it’s a powerful symbol of her resilience and fashion-forward self-expression during a turbulent chapter leading up to her divorce. Now, with anticipation building after last year’s record-breaking sale of another Diana sweater, this piece could shatter expectations. On display in London until Sept. 24, it’ll tour Hong Kong and Geneva before hitting the New York auction block Dec. 9 — offering collectors a rare chance to own a timeless artifact of royal history and style.

Father Shoots Son in Garage | Rockford News
An Illinois man, James Piezonka, was convicted of first-degree murder after firing five shots at his 31-year-old son while the son was riding a motorcycle out of the garage — all five bullets hit the victim, who died before reaching Route 120. Despite Piezonka’s claim he targeted the bike, the jury rejected that story after just an hour of deliberation. The State’s Attorney emphasized the damning evidence, and bystanders who helped the dying son were praised for their compassion. Piezonka remains in custody, with sentencing scheduled for November 24, 2026.
