Jury deadlock prompts judge to declare mistrial Posted Jun 07, 2013 on crimeblog.dallasnews.com Murder suspect Alex Roberson will undergo a new trial for the killing of a toddler after Judge Mike Snipes of the State District announced a mistrial. The mistrial was prompted when two of the 12 jurors made a stance in their belief that Roberson was not guilty of beating to death one-year and eight-month old Trey Jenkins, the son of his girlfriend. If the jury had not been deadlocked, Roberson would have automatically received a sentence of life imprisonment. Roberson has been accused of mauling the little boy which resulted to broken ribs. The boy also had damaged liver, adrenal glands and lungs, which caused his death. During the trial, Dallas criminal defense attorney Bill Cox said that the toddler's mother, Precious Williams, could have been the one to inflict the fatal injuries on her boy. Shequitta Kelly, who was prosecuting the case, said that Williams may be far from an ideal mother but she could have never killed her own son.

Posted Dec 17, 2013 on www.baltimoresun.com William S. Kern, a Baltimore Police instructor, was handed a 60-day jail stay, for shooting Raymond Gray, a police recruit, while they were doing exercises. Kern, who has been in service for 19 years, told the court during his trial that he had brought a live gun to the exercises and he had accidentally used it instead of the training weapon. Gray was hit in the head and was blinded in one eye when Kern fired his gun through the window to show the recruits the danger of lingering near the door, the window or the hallway. Kern said that he brought his gun to the training for the safety of the recruits because the facility where they were having their exercises is not secure. Baltimore defense attorney Shaun F. Owens had argued for Kern's release saying that his client's eventual dismissal from the service would already be enough of a punishment. Kern is on a 60-day suspension while the Baltimore Police conducts an investigation within its ranks. Gray's family, who expressed dissatisfaction with the sentence, has also filed a civil lawsuit in relation to the incident and is being represented by Baltimore litigator A. Dwight Pettit. Life sentence looms over woman found guilty of murderPosted Oct 04, 2013 on gazette.com Jeannette Silvia is looking at a life in prison after a jury found her guilty of murdering Michael Ramirez. The body of 59-year-old Ramirez was found inside a motel room paid for by Silvia and her ex-boyfriend, Joseph Santos-Torres, who is also charged in connection with Ramirez's death. Evidence presented in trial showed that Ramirez had paid Silvia for sex then a few days later, Ramirez was made to go to the motel where he was found dead. Sarah Christensen and Phil Dubois, Colorado Springs defense attorneys, downplayed their client, Silvia's participation in the murder, saying that it was Santos-Torres who killed Ramirez and all she did was helped him escape as he had asked. The jury, however, did not buy it. Santos-Torres himself is awaiting trial.
