The illegal migrant accused of executing a Chicago college student in cold blood last week failed to show up for a Monday hearing because he is being hospitalized for a rare contagious disease. Jose Medina-Medina, a 25-year-old Venezuelan national, was not at the hearing because he requires treatment for tuberculosis, the Chicago Tribune reported. TB, a bacterial infection that can be spread by coughing, is rare in the US, but is much more common on Venezuela and other parts of South and Central America.
