No reduced bail for cousin who helped alleged killer
A judge yesterday denied a defense request to lower bail for a cousin of suspected cop-killer John "Jordan" Lewis, calling the cousin's alleged crimes "serious" and noting his "horrible" criminal history. The cousin, Hakim Glover, 24, of Hunting Park, is accused of helping Lewis flee Philadelphia following the shooting death two weeks ago of Police Officer Chuck Cassidy. Glover remains behind bars on $1 million bail. Glover waived his preliminary hearing yesterday before Municipal Court Judge Craig Washington. He was held for trial on charges of hindering apprehension and obstructing justice. His defense attorney, Michael I. McDermott, said by phone yesterday afternoon that his client waived the hearing because the defense believed prosecutors had enough evidence at the preliminary-hearing stage.

Chapman, whose show “Dog the Bounty Hunter" is a popular A&E cable series, reportedly used the “N"-word several times and berated his son's girlfriend, who is Black, in a private conversation.

Chapman admits to using the “N"-word during his bounty hunting work and warns his son that Shinnery may reveal this publicly. “I'm not gonna take a chance, ever in life, of losing everything I've worked for, for 30 years, 'cause some f**king ni**er heard us say ‘ni**er' and turned us in to Enquirer magazine.

Crime Devastates Teens' Families
One of the latest homicides in Rochester has torn apart two Rochester families. Deshequan Nathan,16, was arraigned Monday on a murder charge for the death of another teenager. Christopher Jones,16, was shot and killed over the weekend. The families of both teens were in court Monday, when Nathan was formally charged with second-degree murder. Jones' family calls it senseless. His mother says he was a good kid. She called him an angel. "He was so special. Made you laugh, he was quiet, didn't bother anyone, I know people say that about their children, but this is God's honest truth, my baby, he was a baby out of four," says Sirena Cotton, Jones' mother. Police arrested Nathan in Lockport, New York Sunday. They say after he shot Jones on Lexington Avenue Saturday, he left the scene in a car they traced to a Lockport address.
