Jury convicts man of killing ex-girlfriend
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. Man cleared of rape that happened in 1993Posted Feb 05, 2014 on www.cleveland.com Stephen Cothran was acquitted of rape and kidnapping charges in connection to an incident that happened in 1993. Cothran, 56, became a suspect when his DNA linked him to evidence gathered during the incident. However, a negative test had the jury dismissing the charges against Cothran. Reuben Sheperd, a criminal attorney in Cleveland defending for Cothran, said that the victim had agreed to have sex with his client. Austin man convicted in shooting death of motoristPosted Feb 04, 2014 on www.statesman.com A sentence of life imprisonment looms for Darius Lovings after the jury found him liable for the death of William Ervin in 2012. Court heard that Lovings had shot Ervin when the latter stopped to help him while he was pretending to have car trouble. Austin criminal lawyer Jon Evans had asked the jury to consider that mental health issues have been at play during the incident. Lovings had told the police after his arrest that he had heard voices. Aside from Ervin's death, Lovings is also facing charges of robbery and attempted murder. Woman charged in death of fiancé’s two-year-old daughterPosted Jan 30, 2014 on dfw.cbslocal.com Melinda Muniz has been arrested and charged with the death of Grace Ford, the two-year-old daughter of her fiance, who reportedly broke up with her. Aside from being the fiancee of the victim's father, Muniz was also the caregiver of the little girl. Muniz's arrest has generated widespread anger with hundreds expressing their disgust for the suspect online. Robbie McClung, a Dallas criminal attorney who will be defending for Muniz, urged the public to wait for all the facts before judging Muniz. The police have also stated that Muniz is not considered guilty until proven otherwise. Former prosecutor sentenced to 10 days for wrongful convictionPosted Nov 14, 2013 on www.statesman.com Ken Anderson, the former District Attorney of Williamson County, was meted with a 10-day jail term after the judge accepted his no-contest plea for the charge of contempt of court. The charge steamed from the wrongful conviction of Michael Morton who was found guilty for the murder of his wife in 1986 and was sentenced to life imprisonment. However, in 2011, Morton's conviction was overturned using DNA as proof that he did not kill his wife. In the light of that development, Anderson, who had prosecuted Morton's case, was scrutinized and was determined to have erred when he withheld evidence which would have been beneficial for Morton's defense. Aside from the short jail stay, Anderson will also have to give up his license as a lawyer and as part of the plea bargain, he will also be disbarred for five years. Austin attorney Eric Nichols, however, pointed out that there will be no conviction for Anderson on any criminal charge. Morton, for his part, said he is more than happy with the result because all he wanted was for Anderson not to practice law anymore to prevent what happened to him from happening to anyone else again. Anderson was also fined and made to do community service.
