Woman Charged With Murder In Death Of 5-Month-Old Fetus After Taking Abortion Pill

By CBS Atlanta, Jun. 9, 2015

ALBANY, Ga. (CBS Atlanta/AP) — A south Georgia woman has been charged with malice murder in the death of a 5 1/2-month-old fetus she delivered after taking an abortion pill.

WALB-TV reports 23-year-old Kenlissa Jones took a Cytotec abortion pill she purchased on the Internet and delivered the fetus Saturday night. Jones reportedly bought the pill from a source in Canada.

A neighbor drove Jones to the hospital, but she delivered the baby boy in the car.

Jones’ family was shocked at what happened.

“At that point we didn’t even know she was pregnant,” Rico Riggins, her brother, told WALB. “And so my first real reaction was like, why she keeping it away from us.”

Witness Balks On Stand In Murder Case Against Rap Mogul Suge Knight

By Daina Beth Solomon, Apr. 14, 2015, Reuters

A key witness in the hit-and-run murder case against Marion "Suge" Knight told a Los Angeles judge on Monday he was reluctant to "snitch" against the one-time rap music mogul, declining even to positively identify him in open court.

Cle "Boan" Sloan, one of two men Knight is accused of deliberately running over in his pickup truck at a hamburger stand in the Los Angeles suburb of Compton, took the witness stand at a preliminary hearing in the case.

Prosecutors say Knight traded punches with Sloan through the window of his vehicle before putting the truck into reverse, knocking Sloan and another man, Terry Carter, to the ground. They say he then pulled forward to run over both men.

Pretoria - Oscar Pistorius walked out of court on Friday, with legal experts predicting he wouldn’t spend a day behind bars.

The sprinter was found guilty of culpable homicide in the killing of his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp, but legal academics say a jail sentence is unlikely, and a Paralympic official confirmed that he would be allowed to resume his lucrative career.

Pistorius, 27, left the Pretoria High Court as a convicted killer – although crucially, not a murderer – and must wait until October 13 for sentencing. Culpable homicide carries a maximum sentence of 15 years, but no minimum.

Judge Thokozile Masipa is a keen advocate of leniency towards first-time offenders.

Criminal law expert Martin Hood said: “He is almost certainly, in my opinion, not going to jail.” Legal academic Stephen Tuson added: “It could even be the imposition of a fine or community service, or house arrest.”

As Pistorius stood to hear the judge clear him of murdering Steenkamp, 29, in February last year but find him guilty of manslaughter, he betrayed none of the emotion he had shown to the court during his six-month trial.

Loud sobs could be heard, however, only feet away as the dead model’s friend Gina Myers shook her head and wept.

With the Oscar Pistorius murder trial verdict expected tomorrow, “Today” paid for exclusive access to the South Africa home where Pistorius shot and killed his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp.

“We paid a nominal location fee,” an NBC News spokesperson tells TVNewser about this morning’s segment reported by investigative correspondent Jeff Rossen. In it, Rossen noted NBC News was given exclusive access by the new owner of Pistorius’ recently-sold home, then taking viewers inside Pistorius’ bedroom and bathroom where the murder happened. Sources inside NBC tell us location fees are not out of the norm for non-public location shoots.

By Roger Weeder, Aug. 4, 2014, Firstcoastnews.com

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- A 12-year-old has been arrested and charged with murder for the June 28 shooting death of 54-year-old Thomas Trent.

The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office says Sharron Sherman Townsend was one of two suspects seen in surveillance video from the night of Trent's death. The second suspect a 16-year-old, was picked up on an unrelated robbery charge and he helped lead police to Townsend. Trent was found with a gunshot wound to the head in a strip mall on 103rd Street.

JSO described the murder as a horrible, spontaneous event.

JSO says it has not found the gun and that robbery was not involved. Townsend was in juvenile jail behind bars Thursday night and last attended Dupont Middle, according to police reports.

The victim, Trent, was homeless but has family in town. His sister Dawn McNabb talked to FCN Thursday.

Trent visited her at her Westside home, less than a mile from where he was killed. For the past two decades he lived on the streets after his parents died.

"Thomas he had no form of weapon, maybe a pocket knife I gave him for his birthday. Like I said he just got out of the hospital did not much of anything, someone two weeks before had robbed him of all his things so he did not have hardly anything with him," McNabb said.

JSO released few other details, but said that Townsend told them he was in the video and involved in a murder. The murder has the victim's family wanting answers and now knowing who police believe pulled the trigger.
