(Black) Former A&M football player found incompetent to stand trial in machete murder case The former Texas A&M football player accused of murdering a runner with a machete will not go to trial after a recent ruling found Thomas Johnson mentally incompetent. Relatives say Thomas was diagnosed with schizophrenia before he allegedly hacked Dave Stevens to death on the White Rock Lake trail in Dallas in October 2015. Jennifer Balido represents Thomas. She says he will be sent to North Texas State Hospital for up to 120 days for treatment and evaluation. Balido presumes Thomas can be made well enough to help in his defense which could involve the argument that he was insane at the time of the murder. “I believe that he will eventually go to trial,” Balido said. “Just because he is not competent now does not mean, necessarily, that he was insane at the time of the offense. But it does show the extent of his mental health problems.” Police say Thomas walked to a nearby equestrian center after allegedly killing Stevens, called 9-1-1 and confessed to the crime. Two weeks later, Stevens’ wife of 25 years, Patti, killed herself. - (Black-on-white) |

Lawyer wants investigation of Broward pastor's death while serving life in prison for child sex case Jeffery London, the former South Florida youth pastor and charter school official who was sentenced to life for a child sex abuse conviction seven months ago, has died — painfully and unnecessarily as a result of "medical neglect" in federal prison, one of his lawyers said. London, 52, formerly of Broward County, died March 29 at the United States Medical Center for Federal Prisoners in Springfield, western Missouri, the U.S. Bureau of Prisons confirmed. London had been locked up for the last four years fighting state and federal allegations that he sexually abused underage boys he met at his church, the school, youth groups and an informal foster home that he ran. He called it London's Hotel and said there was always room for another child there. A dozen boys told investigators he used gifts, intimidation and his status as an upstanding, religious man in the community to harm them and keep them from reporting what he did to them. |

(Black) Man who scammed (black musician) Cecil Taylor out of $500K is going to prison A Long Island man who scammed jazz great Cecil Taylor out of nearly $500,000 worth of international award money has been sentenced to 1-3 years in prison after pleading guilty to charges of second degree grand larceny for swiping the octogenarian’s winnings. Sticky-fingered Noel Muir had filed a last minute motion before his scheduled Feb 17 sentencing date– claiming ineffective counsel had coerced him into taking the plea deal. But his ‘hail Mary’ motion was vacated by Brooklyn Supreme Court Judge Ruth Shillingford, landing him back in court Monday to face the music. “The thing about this case is that the money was taken from someone who was almost 90 years old,” Shillingford said, addressing Muir, 55. |

Video Shows (White) Maryland Judge Ordering Deputy to Stun (Black) Defendant A newly released video shows how a former judge's temper landed him in hot water -- and out of a job – after he ordered a deputy to use a stun device on a defendant in his courtroom. Robert Nalley, 72, pleaded guilty earlier this year to a misdemeanor civil rights violation. The court sentenced him last week to one year's probation, fined him $5,000 and ordered him to take anger management classes. Maryland's highest court also banned Nalley from the bench for life. In the newly released video from July 2014, Nalley is seen telling a deputy to activate a "stun-cuff" that the defendant was wearing around his ankle. Delvon King, who was acting as his own lawyer on a gun charge, was before Nalley during the hearing when the judge told him to stop talking. When King failed to listen, Nalley ordered him to be shocked with 50,000 volts of electricity. |

(Black) Hampton man charged in cold-case homicide has previous convictions Ruben Edward Moore is a man whose criminal history dates back 40 years, and the details of his crimes sit in a Hampton courthouse. Filed away on a metal shelf are hundreds of pages of court trannoscripts, criminal complaints and arrest warrants that bear his name. Some documents are so old they are discolored or torn and are held together by rubber bands. His criminal convictions are similar and each involve women — women who were violated sexually in their homes. In 1971 the victim was asleep when Moore climbed into her bedroom through a window. He choked her. Prosecutors said he tried to rape her but was scared off by the screams of her 2-year-old daughter who was asleep beside her, according to the trial trannoscript. Another woman was sleeping in 1982 when Moore broke in, put his hand over her mouth and raped her. He promised he would kill her if she made a sound. Police recently charged Moore, 66, in another crime. A crime that authorities say he's gotten away with for more than 30 years: the cold-case homicide of Olivia Dare Christian. - (Black-on-white) |

(Dead black rapper) Tupac’s (Black killer animal) Stepfather Up For Parole In Deadly Brinks Heist NEW YORK — He made the FBI’s most wanted list and was convicted of leading a revolutionary group responsible for a trail of bloodshed, including the slayings of an armed guard and two New York police officers. But after serving half his prison sentence, Mutulu Shakur might soon be a free man. The 65-year-old, stepfather to the late rapper Tupac Shakur, is eligible for mandatory parole after serving 30 years of the 60-year sentence he was given in 1988 for masterminding a string of deadly armed robberies in New York and Connecticut committed by a militant political group known as “The Family.” The possibility that Shakur could walk free has outraged Michael Paige, whose father, a Brinks security guard, was killed in a $1.6 million holdup of an armored truck at a mall in suburban Rockland County, New York, on Oct. 20, 1981. He called it “incomprehensible” and “sickening.” “That’s the going rate? Thirty years for at least three lives that were taken?” he said. “I was 16 years when he was killed by these animals. Not a day goes by that I don’t think about my father.” Less than an hour after Peter Paige was killed during the Brinks heist, two Nyack police officers, Waverly Brown and Sgt. Edward O’Grady, were killed in an ambush after stopping a truck at a roadside checkpoint. Shakur was added to the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list after the heist. He remained on the run until he was arrested in Los Angeles in 1986. Shakur was also charged with aiding fellow revolutionary Joanne Chesimard’s escape from a New Jersey prison, where she was serving a sentence for killing New Jersey state trooper Werner Foerster in 1973. - (Black-on-white) |

The suspects reportedly tried to rob Newland, who resisted, before shooting him in the head. The suspects, who are described as black men in their teens to early 20s, fled the scene in a black Mercedes sedan with tinted windows and black hubcaps. Metro police said the shooting was likely connected to a drug deal, but Newland’s family said that’s not the teenager they knew. "...there is no way that it could have had anything to do with drugs." - (Black-on-white) |

Two of New York City’s most infamous killers die in jail - Good riddance! A pair of notorious killers — one who gunned down a cop and the man who stabbed Kitty Genovese — both died in upstate prisons this week. Anthony Laborde, 62, was a member of the Black Liberation Army who killed Police Officer John Scaragella in 1981, died Sunday at a medical facility while serving time at Five Points Correction Facility. “I was taught never to talk ill of the dead,” said Judge Greg Lasak, the prosecutor who got the conviction, “but….. case closed.” Meanwhile, Winston Mosely, who stabbed Genovese to death in 1964 in a murder that famously went ignored by her Kew Gardens neighbors, died in jail last week. - (Black-on-white) |
Black nephew of 'famous' black model Tyson Beckford will likely stand trial for deadly crash The nephew of model Tyson Beckford, who is accused of stealing a box truck and crashing it into a city bus, killing the driver, rejected a plea deal in Manhattan court and is expected to go to trial. Domonic Whilby, 22, was not present for the brief hearing in Manhattan Supreme Court. “The defendant is going to reject the district attorney’s officer, is that correct?” asked Justice Gregory Carro. “He is, your Honor,” replied defense lawyer Laura Miranda who waived Whilby’s appearance. The terms of the offer were not stated publicly but a source close to the negotiations said it was in the ballpark of 14 to 24 years in prison. Whilby had been boozing it up at a Fashion Week party with his famous uncle just hours before the West Village collision that killed MTA veteran William Pena Feb. 12, 2014. |
