Posted Feb 25, 2014 on www.abc15.com Wade Bradford's defense did not convince the jury as they found him guilty in the shooting death of Natalie Allan. Bradford and Allan had met when Allan worked in one of Bradford's massage parlors. While they were dating, Allan was also dating Kevin Myles, her massage client. During the trial, the prosecutors told the court that Bradford had shot Allan when she broke up with him and she and Myles had gone to Bradford's place to get her things. This was countered by Phoenix defense lawyer Jamie Jackson saying that Bradford did not know that he had shot Allan. According to Jackson, the gun accidentally went off because Myles had suddenly lunged at Bradford. The jury, however, did not buy this. Aside from Allan's death, Bradford is also facing charges for the death of another of his former girlfriend, Eleanor Su. Philadelphia Church official granted bail after his conviction was reversedPosted Dec 30, 2013 on abclocal.go.com After 18 months in prison, Monsignor William Lynn, may be released when he was granted bail following the reversal of his conviction. Lynn, who served as a secretary for clergy at the Philadelphia archdiocese, will have to give up his passport. He will also be made to wear an electronic device for monitoring. The Roman Catholic official was sentenced to between three to six years after he was convicted for endangering an abuse victim of a priest. However, appeal judges reversed Lynn's conviction because the child-endangerment law which he was accused of violating did not apply to him. Following the reversal, Lynn's defense lawyers asked for his release which the prosecution opposed during the bail hearing claiming that the priest is a flight risk. However, Philadelphia defense attorney Thomas Bergstrom said that Lynn would never run away from conviction. 20 years in prison for murder conviction in nightclub shooting
