YEAR IN REVIEW: A Murder, A Scandal, And Wirch Wins His Seat

We're reviewing our top read stories for 2011.

One of the most shocking stories this year was the murder of Jonathan Kwiatkowski, a 21-year-old man who was a junior at the University of Wisconsin-Parkside. Kwiatkowski's family has been determined to bring something positive out of a devastating event by holding poker runs and blood drives. The man accused of the murder is Sean Forester-Hoare, a neighbor that lived a few houses down from Kwiatkowski.

Other stories that topped our list include the Conceal Carry Law, Wirch getting his job back (again), and Curt Johnson saying he's not guilty of sexual assault.
