Sponsored Links United States Attorney NewsJury convicts man of killing ex-girlfriendWade 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. Judge denies third trial for man convicted of murderNicholas Christopher Ferro was denied a third trial for the death of Marques Butler in 2009. Ferro's first trial had ended in a hung jury. In his second trial, he was convicted of murder in the second degree last September. However, he had asked for a third trial with Miami attorney Carlos Gonzalez pointing out several things, the main of which is that the charges should not have been murder in the second degree because of the scant amount of time that Ferro and Butler have known each other before the incident happened. According to Ferro's defense, a murder in the second degree charge would require that the perpetrator and victim are familiar with each other thus the need for a time requirement on how long they have known each other basing on the murder laws of Florida. However, the judge said the amount of time is not required. With Ferro's demand for a third trial denied, a life imprisonment sentence looms for him. Austin man convicted in shooting death of motoristA 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. Philadelphia Church official granted bail after his conviction was reversedAfter 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. No bail for man who knocked down a 79YO black manThe bail application of Conrad Barret, who is charged with a hate crime, was denied, something that Barret's lawyer said they have been expecting. Houston criminal attorney George Parnham said that according to the judge, his 27-year-old client might avoid a criminal conviction. He also poses as a danger to the public. Barret was charged after he attacked an old, black man; filmed the act and showed it to someone, who turned out to be an arson investigator. Barrett is looking at more than a 10-year prison term and a fine of more than $200,000 should he get convicted. |
