Kanawha County Circuit Court Judge Duke Bloom also said Shawn Lester, 37, of Charleston will not get credit for time served since his arrest, media outlets reported.

'Grim Sleeper' serial killer case ballistic evidence to be reviewed by defense
By Rina Palta
Aug 30, 2012
It looks like court proceedings for Lonnie Franklin, the man accused of being the South Los Angeles "Grim Sleeper" serial killer, will be slow. In what was sure to be one of many pretrial hearings Thursday, defense attorneys reported they're hiring an independent analyst to look at ballistic evidence in the case.
Deputy District Attorney Beth Silverman expressed slight frustration with the delays.
"We took this to the grand jury to avoid a lenghty pretrial and cut down on it dragging out," she said. "But I know this is a capital case, and the defense wants to avoid issues of not being prepared."
The defendant appeared relaxed as he sat with attorneys in an orange jail jumpsuit at the high security courtroom in downtown L.A. Franklin is accused of murdering seven women between 1985 and 1988 and an additional three women between 2002 and 2007. The apparent 14-year hiatus between the murder sprees prompted the name "Grim Sleeper." Franklin was arrested in July 2010 and was accused of the murders.

Canine evidence allowed in court
AUGUST 25, 2012 AT 1:00 AM
BY CHRISTINE FERRETTI THE DETROIT NEWS
Detroit — A canine expert, whose dog allegedly detected a cadaver scent in the home and car of a father charged in the killing of his missing 2-year-old daughter, will be allowed to testify at trial, a judge ruled Friday.
Wayne County Circuit Judge Vonda Evans said the testimony will be admitted in D'Andre Lane's Sept. 18 trial. The Detroit father is charged with first-degree murder and child abuse in the death of Bianca Jones.
Evans delivered her decision after Lane's defense team spent more than two hours trying to discredit the relatively new scientific method of using cadaver dogs to detect human decomposition.

Court drops child killer’s life sentence
By Paul Shockley
Friday, August 31, 2012
A Clifton man may walk out of prison in 20 years after the Colorado Court of Appeals on Thursday reversed a 2008 first-degree murder conviction in the death of the man’s toddler stepson.
Brandon Moore, now 27, who had been serving life in prison without the possibility of parole, will be eligible to go before the state’s parole board starting as early as 2032, according to Katherine Sanguinetti, spokeswoman for the Colorado Department of Corrections.
District Attorney Pete Hautzinger said the surviving family of 23-month-old Logan Acord on Thursday made clear to him their wishes for Moore’s case.
“If nothing changes from here on out, this family would strongly want a trial on the first-degree murder charge,” Hautzinger said, signaling he’d do just that. Carolyn Tyler, spokeswoman for Colorado Attorney General John Suthers, said attorneys had no decision on a possible appeal to the Colorado Supreme Court.

Maddie ‘is with German family’
Tourist Frank Bode, 42, said he saw a girl resembling Maddie with a German family.
The businessman took a blurry picture of the youngster who he said was British and did not seem to fit in with the family.
He was so convinced it was Maddie — who vanished in Portugal in 2007 days before her fourth birthday — that he immediately contacted “Find Madeleine” investigators in the UK.
Scotland Yard cops then spoke to him at great length about what he saw and are following up his claims.

Published August 30, 2012, 09:35 AM
HUDSON - A temporary restraining order filed against St. Croix County Sheriff John Shilts by public defender John Kucinski in the Aaron Schaffhausen murder case was lifted Tuesday afternoon following an arraignment hearing.

Lebanon Daily News
Updated: 08/29/2012 11:37:37 PM EDT
Palmyra police have released new information in the case of a 21-year-old Palmyra woman who has been missing for a month.
Borough police Chief Stanley J. Jasinski Jr. said Wednesday that officers were dispatched to Kortne Stouffer's apartment at 810 W.

The first time police responded was at 9:05 p.m. Saturday, July 28, after they received a complaint about underage drinking at the apartment. Jasinski declined to identify who called police about the underage drinking.
As a result of that first call, police have now charged two men with underage drinking. The citations were filed Wednesday with District Judge Carl Garver's office in Palmyra.

Terrance Black Trial: Day 8
By Catherine Ross
Wednesday, Aug 29, 2012
Updated 4:07 PM CDT
Wednesday Testimony
The state rested its case in the capital murder trial of Terrance Black on Wednesday morning. The final testimony from the state’s witnesses included Scott Epperson, the leading detective in the Plano Police Department’s investigation. Epperson told the jury that “police work is common sense,” saying “no one pointed toward [Jayson Hayes]” as a suspect during the time of Loper’s disappearance.
The defense has repeatedly argued that police did not adequately pursue other suspects in the investigation, like Hayes, Susan Loper’s boyfriend at the time of her death. Epperson said he did consider Hayes, because police work involves looking “at the men most closely associated with a female victim,” especially in a murder case. He said Hayes gave voluntary fingerprint and saliva samples to investigators. However, after being pressed by the defense, Epperson said Hayes’ home was never searched and he cannot recall if investigators asked Hayes if he owned a gun.

COLUMBIA — The South Carolina mother on trial in the case of her missing son told police searching for the boy that she needed a break from parenting, according to testimony Tuesday.
Prosecutors played a lengthy interview in which Zinah Jennings told police she was stressed from parenting, criticism from her mother and being unemployed and needed some time to herself. Sgt. Arthur Thomas is heard repeatedly telling Jennings that he understands her situation and just needs to see the boy to know that he’s OK.
“We’ll deal with you still having a break,” Thomas says, also telling Jennings she needs to pray for help. “You don’t have to feel like you’re being forced to take the child back.”

Ex-wife and accomplice of child killer Marc Dutroux released
10:51PM, TUE 28 AUG 2012
last updated Wed 29 Aug 2012
The ex-wife and accomplice of Marc Dutroux, the child murderer whose crimes horrified Belgium in the 1990s, has been freed after serving half her jail term.
Michelle Martin was released after Belgium's highest appeal court dismissed a bid by prosecutors to overturn a lower court's decision last month to approve her early release.
She is expected to move into a convent which has already been daubed with graffiti by angry protesters.
Dutroux was arrested in 1996 and found guilty of kidnapping and raping six girls. He killed two and left two others to starve to death in a makeshift dungeon.

Convicted child-killer seeks day parole
August 29, 2012 Updated: August 29, 2012 | 6:54 am
By Paola Loriggio
The Canadian Press
KITCHENER, Ont. – A convicted child-killer who wed another inmate and bore three children while serving a life sentence is once again seeking day parole, two years after having it revoked amid allegations she was mired in shady financial dealings.
Amina Chaudhary, 50, was found guilty of first-degree murder in the 1982 slaying of her ex-lover’s eight-year-old nephew, but has spent the decades since challenging her conviction and the resulting deportation order.
Officials branded Chaudhary a low risk to reoffend for years, citing her exemplary conduct behind bars and the discipline that helped her earn several degrees during her incarceration.
But a 2011 psychological assessment upgraded the risk to moderate, citing a “longstanding tendency to externalize blame” and “difficulties with accepting full responsibility” for her actions, according to documents by the Parole Board of Canada.

By Catherine Ross | Tuesday, Aug 28, 2012 | Updated 3:05 PM CDT
Tuesday Afternoon Testimony
Testimony about DNA evidence dominated much of the afternoon of Day 7 of the trial.
Justin Parker, a trace evidence analyst with the Texas Department of Public Safety, testified he was asked to look at several pieces of evidence including a sexual assault evidence kit, a seat belt from the victim’s car, hair samples from the victim’s vehicle, hair samples from Loper’s Pilates studio, hair samples from the defendant’s vehicle, clothes from defendant Black, hair samples from Loper, Loper’s clothing and hair samples found on the victim’s clothing. Parker testified a hair sample found in the side door of Loper’s vehicle is “microscopically similar” to a sample of Black’s hair. He could not say how long the hair had been in the vehicle.
