MARKSVILLE, La. — A grand jury in Louisiana indicted two deputy city marshals on second-degree murder charges Thursday in the fatal shooting of a 6-year-old autistic boy last month while he was strapped into the front seat of his father's vehicle. The indictment handed up by an Avoyelles Parish grand jury charged Derrick Stafford, 32, and Norris Greenhouse Jr., 23, with one count each of second-degree murder and attempted second-degree murder. Police say Stafford, a full-time police lieutenant, and Greenhouse, a former police officer, were moonlighting as deputy city marshals in Marksville on the night of Nov. 3 when they fired at least 18 rounds at a car driven by Chris Few. The shooting severely wounded Few and killed his son, Jeremy Mardis. - (Black-on-white)
BATON ROUGE, LA - A Baton Rouge man has been arrested after being accused of using an acetylene torch and a metal pipe to burn and disfigure a woman before he raped her multiple times. Detectives were called to an abandoned home in the 11000 block of N. Engelwood Street. A woman told deputies she was contacted through her Backpage.com ad by a person who requested she come to his house. He agreed to a set price of $150 for a 30-minute sexual relations session. When the woman was dropped off at the house, she walked to the rear of the home. When she noticed the home was vacant, she began to leave. That is when she was summoned by a voice near the rear carport, according to deputies. The man, now identified as 22-year-old Willie Hill III, approached the woman, shined a flash light at her and demanded money from her, according to the report. The woman told him she did not have any money, and he allegedly struck her in the head with the flashlight. The victim told police Hill then ripped the clothes off of her body, pulled out an acetylene torch, heated a metal pipe and proceeded to burn the woman on the face, breast and genital area. Her face was burned with a cigarette, according to her statement to the deputies. Hill then pulled out a black handgun and forced her to the ground. He is accused of raping her twice. To get away, the victim told Hill she dropped money down the street and would get it. He let her go to get the money and she was able to run away and call for help. During the investigation, detectives learned just 8 days prior, another woman from Backpage.com was contacted to come to the same location. The victim in the Nov. 8 attack told deputies a man armed with a flash light and a black handgun had attempted to rob her. The victim told deputies she was injured, but was able to escape before being sexually assaulted. Hill was positively identified and was arrested on December 9, 2015.

COATESVILLE, Pa. — An employee of the Chester County Juvenile Probation Department is accused of Witness Intimidation.

PHILADELPHIA — A jury has acquitted a 37-year-old South Philadelphia of all charges in the June 2008 murder of a Minnesota man who came to the city to become a teacher. Marcellus Jones yelled “thank you” to the jury while the victim’s family, in town for the trial, wept after the verdict was read. Defense attorney Richard Giuliani applauded the panel for sticking strictly to the evidence in a case in which the defendant is already a convicted killer. “When a defendant testifies and brings out that he has five prior robbery convictions and denies the involvement of the killing of someone else where he’s already been convicted, that was difficult. But apparently the jury focused on the evidence in this case, which I’m grateful for,” said Giuliani. With no DNA or other physical evidence, prosecutors relied heavily on witnesses’ testimony. Despite the verdict, Jones isn’t going anywhere. He’s serving a life sentence for murdering the man suspected of driving the getaway car the night
