Former highschool hoopstar meted with life imprisonment for murderPosted Sep 18, 2013 on www.dallasnews.com William Paul Langrum II will be spending the rest of his life in prison for killing Shearl Bennett, 50, in 2011. Langrum, who used to play for the Lincoln High Tigers, and a companion had attacked and robbed Bennett. Dallas attorney Richard Franklin, who was appointed by the court to represent Langrum, said it was a difficult case to defend as they had nothing to counter the accusations.

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. Los Angeles lawyers insist on client's release

Sharper has submitted a not guilty plea to sexually assaulting two women in Los Angeles.

Sharper's lawyers are insisting on his release because no case has been filed yet pertaining to the Louisiana arrest warrant. 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.

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. Man found guilty in beating death of infant Posted Oct 10, 2013 on www.cbs8.com David Christopher Cruz was found guilty in the death of an infant, who is still five months shy of turning one years old. The infant victim, the son of Cruz's girlfriend, was taken off life support a few days after he was brought into the hospital unconscious. He suffered head injuries, several fractures and had bruises on his body. Court heard that Cruz was the infant's baby sitter while the mother goes to work. Cruz told the police that he had hit the baby because he keeps on fussing. Michael Begovich, a criminal lawyer in San Diego defending for Cruz, said that the baby's mother also has a responsibility in her son's death because she had not consulted a doctor when the baby had an ear infection. Former deputy gets five years for punching teenagerPosted Oct 07, 2013 on www.denverpost.com David Morrow, who used to be the deputy of the Adams County, has been handed a five-year prison sentence for punching a teenager who was strapped to a gurney. Morrow said he was sorry that the teenager was hurt because of what he did. The teenager was causing a disturbance to which Morrow and other police officers have responded. The police decided to take the teenager to the hospital because he was intoxicated and was being belligerent. However, while he was strapped to a gurney, Morrow had hit the teenager in the face with his fist. The sentence may still change as the judge had agreed to schedule another hearing to re-assess Morrow's sentence. Donald Sisson, a defense attorney in Denver, said the case was not a usual one and thus Morrow's sentence should be re-evaluated.
