Police: Cowardly criminal black scum stalk, rob (White) senior citizens at Philly-area banks
  NORTHEAST PHILADELPHIA -- Police are trying to track down the trio of suspects who they say have been stalking out senior citizens at banks throughout Philadelphia then attacking and robbing them. "They're scum, really scum - going after people that really can't afford it," said Bayard Stonehill, victim. 83-year-old Stonehill, who is recovering from throat cancer, spoke about the suspects who police say have been targeting the elderly in Northeast Philadelphia, Juniata and Northern Liberties. Stonehill, who is on a fixed income, says the suspects took about $1,000 from him. Authorities say since last April, three men have targeted about 11 victims and all, except one of them, are seniors. The oldest victim is 96. Police believe the suspects follow the victims to the bank, stand behind them in line and listen to see if they are withdrawing large sums of money. "They're followed home and accosted and sometimes beaten, sometimes just pushed over, sometimes the money is just grabbed," said Lt. Dennis Rosenbaum, Philadelphia Police. One victim, an 86-year-old, remains hospitalized after suffering injuries from an assault during one of the robberies. - (Black-on-white) |
INDIANAPOLIS — The man charged in the death of Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department Officer Perry Renn now officially faces the death penalty. Earlier this month, Marion County Prosecutor Terry Curry said he would seek the death penalty in Major Davis Jr.’s murder case. Davis is charged with murder, accusing of shooting and killing Officer Renn in July at 34th Street and Forest Manor Avenue. “It is clear that there are those in our city who believe that our police officers are fair game,” “Make no mistake, we will prosecute you to the maximum extent possible under the law.” There were two aggravating circumstances that support a death penalty case: that Davis killed Renn while Renn was on duty as a police officer, and that the murder was motivated by an act Renn performed while acting in the course of his duty as an officer. - (Black-on-white)

BALTIMORE — Police confirm the suspect arrested for a violent attack Thursday night on a young man in the Otterbein neighborhood near Federal Hill is now a suspect in a similar attack just one night earlier in the same area. Derek Valcourt talked to the father of the latest victim and has more on the attacks. Three attacks in less than a week in Federal Hill. We have a first look at the injuries from the most recent attack—and why the victim’s family thinks this might have been a hate crime. It will take plastic surgery to properly fix the injury suffered by the 25-year-old victim, who asked not to be identified by name. It happened Thursday night when three African-American teenagers attacked him, throwing a rock at his face as he walked down Montgomery Street after leaving his lifeguard job at the nearby Otterbein Swim Club. Police say one of the suspects, 19-year-old Sidney Joyner, tried to stab him with a pocket knife; the victim dodged the blade. “The victim began to yell out. Residents began to come out of their homes; the suspects then ran away,” said Sgt. Jarron Jackson, Baltimore police. Police later found Joyner, who is now charged with armed robbery, robbery and two counts of assault. He was charged in the other robbery and assault, as well. “I feel like this was attempted murder,” said his father. “An injury that severe definitely wasn’t an intent to injure—it was an intent to kill.” The victim’s father also questions why Joyner wasn’t charged with a hate crime, since the suspects reportedly yelled, “Hey, white boy!” at the time of the attack. “If roles were reversed, it definitely would be no question whether it was a hate crime or not,” he said.

HUNTSVILLE, Alabama -- After 10 hours of deliberation and word this morning they were deadlocked, a Madison County jury found a former Providence School aide guilty of sodomy. Michael Horton, 37, appeared stunned by the verdict. But Madison County Assistant District Attorney Tim Gann said justice was done and that the jury's long deliberations reflected the hard work they put into the case, examining every piece of evidence. "It has been a very long process, but justice was served today, the jury got this case exactly right," Gann said. "It has been a long, long haul for this young man and I'm just happy today he was vindicated. Horton was accused of sex by forcible coercion involving a child staying at his home, a charge that carries a possible life sentence. He was also charged with second-degree sodomy – sex with a person younger than 16-older than 12, but that charge was dropped before the trial began. The sexual encounters began in 2008, Gann said, after the boy moved into the home of Horton and his wife. Gann said Horton was a mentor figure for the child, but the child testified Monday that after he moved in, Horton forced him into sex acts.
