Hearing set on boy’s lawyers’ request

July 2 has been set to hear a pretrial motion filed by attorneys for 11-year-old Jordan Brown.

Jordan, of 1146 Wampum-New Galilee Road, is charged as an adult following the Feb. 20 death of his father’s pregnant fiancée, Kenzie Marie Houk, 26. Police said he used a 20-gauge shotgun to shoot her in the back of the head as she lay in bed. He faces two counts of homicide.

On Friday, attorneys David Acker and Dennis Elisco filed court papers asking that charges against the boy be dismissed, stating that no evidence presented at the March 24 preliminary hearing links Jordan to the killings.

Jordan entered a not guilty plea on May 6.

The hearing to address their concerns is scheduled for 10 a.m. in Courtroom No. 1. The order setting the hearing date was signed Tuesday by Lawrence County Common Pleas Court Judge Thomas Piccione.

Bank Robber Sentenced

Bank robber sentenced

A man who robbed a Lawrence County bank five years ago will serve 15 years in jail.

William F. Perry, 64, of North Versailles, Allegheny County, also was ordered Monday by a federal court judge in Pittsburgh to serve five years of probation following his release from prison.

Perry was charged with nine bank robberies between 2004 and 2006. On Jan. 2, 2004, prosecutors said, he used a replica firearm to rob the ESB bank at 1793 Mercer Road, Ellwood City.

The U.S. Attorney’s office in Pittsburgh said Perry also robbed a Huntingdon County bank three times in 2004; a Washington County bank twice in 2004; a Westmoreland county bank twice in 2006; and a New Cumberland, W.Va., bank in 2005.

Perry was indicted in 2007 after an investigation by the FBI. He could have received a maximum of 225 years in prison.

NEW LOCAL: Fight ends in teen’s arrest

NEW LOCAL: Fight ends in teen’s arrest

Obscenities were flying along with a few fists.

A crowd of juveniles gathered Tuesday morning at the intersection of Wallace Avenue and Reis Street, where several fights were erupting near New Castle High School.

City police were called at 10:45 a.m. to disperse the crowd. That’s when Jamal C. Murphy, 18, of 123 Park Ave. reportedly stepped forward with a few choice words for the officers.

Murphy ignored the officers’ commands and was arrested on a charge of disorderly conduct.

During a search of Murphy’s backpack, police discovered a pair of metal knuckles, a bottle of Grey Goose vodka, a BB gun and a VISA card belonging to another individual. The knuckles, vodka and credit card were place into evidence, while the BB gun was destroyed by the officers.

Murphy also is charged with a first-degree misdemeanor of carrying a prohibited offensive weapon and two summary offenses of disorderly conduct and purchase of an alcoholic beverage by a minor.

His preliminary hearing is set for 9:30 a.m. June 17 before District Judge Melissa A. Amodie.

Readers Story

What gives a judge the power to deny a PFA when the defendant is caught in lies on the witness stands, what causes the New Castle, Family Court Judge to over look the lies in the testimony that proves he is lying? How can a judge in good mind deny a PFA for a family when the defendant’s witnesses can’t even keep their stories straight when on the stand?

When these lies are called out in a public light by the petitioner’s attorney and the defendants adds in another lie which is also caught how can a judge not see this?

How can a judge ignore the testimony of children who told basically the same stories (because they were not lying). Why put the children through it if you were not going to hear their cries? How can you look a child in the eye and say I know there is truth here but I am still not going to rule in your favor, Will this still family court judge come to my house to wipe the tears off my children’s face, or will he stay up with them in the middle of the night and rock them back to sleep in his arms when they wake up screaming from another nightmare.

With all the provable fact you still made your choice on based on “nothing” case laws, laws, etc, were quoted to you to make sure you would rule in the favor of who was not lying, who came to your court begging for protection, yet you turned your back on it all and ruled based on something we have no clue.

You Mr. Family Court Judge have stunned everyone, the attorney, the petitioners, the women’s shelter, the other people who where around. Everyone thought you had no choice but to rule in the favor of what was presented to you, the right, lawful way to rule.

One day Judge I will be back in your court room, probably with something devastating that has happened and I plan to remind you that it would have all been preventable had you just ruled in our favor that day. You could have been the tool to stop all this for my family. I just pray the reason I stand before you in the future is not something that is so devastating that you will have no choice, or that its not criminal court I stand in begging them to jail him for life.

My family will never forget you for they cried the day your ruling was told to us. You have permitted a dangerous person to be allowed into our lives, you have given him the golden pathway to harass, stalk, and trespass.

New Castle Officer Accused Of Sex, Drinking With Girls

NEW CASTLE, Pa. -- A New Castle police officer is accused of giving liquor shots to two teenage girls and having sex with them at his house in Union Township, Lawrence County.Officer Richard Corbin, 35, is charged with statutory sexual assault, indecent assault, furnishing alcohol to minors and corruption of minors. His case was sent to trial after a preliminary hearing Tuesday. The trial date has not been set.State police arrested Corbin in July. They said the teens came forward with their claims in May, but the alleged assaults took place in January, when Corbin’s duties involved patrolling New Castle Junior/Senior High School.According to a criminal complaint, the girls, ages 13 and 15 at the time, were on their way to a club when they were approached by Corbin in a personal car.Corbin, a member of the force for nearly 10 years, allegedly offered the girls a ride and began touching and taking pictures of them with his cell phone once they were inside the car, police said.The girls said they went back to Corbin’s home, where they drank seven to eight shots and had sex with the officer.“The New Castle Police Department takes these matters seriously. We must reserve comment at this time pending the outcome of a court process,” said New Castle Police Chief Tom Sansone.
