The man acquitted in the 2011 homicide of a local cab driver has now been charged in federal court for robbing her at the time of her death.Johnathan Dewayne Mitchell, 38, of Cedar Rapids, was indicted Tuesday of one count of robbery affecting commerce in U.S. District Court. The indictment states Mitchell obstructed commerce — the cab company service — by “violently” robbing Catherine “Cathy” Stickley, 54, who was driving a Century Cab on April 29, 2011. Mitchell was the only suspect in the homicide and the case hasn’t been reopened. 
Black suspect. The “Chelsea Slasher” has been found unfit to stand trial. Kari Bazemore — who earned the infamous moniker after allegedly slashing a young woman in the face in Manhattan — was committed to the city’s Department of Health and Mental Hygiene by a court-appointed psychologist Thursday, after a psych exam showed he was not mentally well enough to be tried. Bazemore, who has 31 prior arrests, has twice been found mentally unfit to stand trial in previous cases. The slasher first struck early Jan 6, when he cut 24-year-old Amanda Morris’s face on West 24th Street as she trekked to work at the Chelsea Whole Foods.She needed 150 stitches to close her wounds. Authorities have also tied Bazemore to a Sept. 29 attack ona 25-year-old salon worker and her 28-year-old friend as they were walking on East 174th Street near Walton Avenue in The Bronx. One of the women was slashed, cops said. Bazemore, 41, also is previously believed to have assaulted at least two other women, including a 43-year-old victim he stuck in the face with a heavy shopping bag as she stood on Fifth Avenue in Midtown on Nov. 4. remain in custody at the facility until he’s found fit to stand trial. 
OAKLAND —black suspect Diantay Powell’s defense lawyer admitted Tuesday that Powell brutally gunned down two teenage girls near Brookdale Park in East Oakland in 2012 but said he should only be convicted of voluntary manslaughter because he had a troubled childhood. In his opening statement in Powell’s trial in Alameda County Superior Court, defense attorney Darryl Stallworth said Powell “was walking around with no decision-making ability” because he’d been forced to move from home to home as a child, began using drugs at the age of nine and started taking painkillers after he was shot 14 times when he was only 13 years old. “My client, Diantay Powell, is responsible for the deaths of Bobbie Sartain and Raquel Gerstel but the issue you will struggle with is whether it was first-degree murder, second-degree murder of voluntary manslaughter,” Stallworth told jurors. Sartain, 16, and Gerstel, 15, were killed in a hail of at least two dozen gunshots in the 2600 block of Minna Avenue near Brookdale Avenue shortly after 5 a.m. on Nov. 25, 2012. However, prosecutor Melissa Dooher said she will ask jurors to find Powell guilty of two counts of first-degree murder, saying that the evidence in the case proves that he was the shooter. A second defendant, 23-year-old Antonio Edwards, is standing trial with Powell on a charge of being an accessory after the fact for allegedly driving Powell away from the shooting scene. Stallworth said that on the night of the shooting, Powell had sex with Gerstel and they later hung out in a car with Edwards, Sartain and another young man. Powell called Gerstel and Sartain “bitches”

The Iredell County Sheriff's Office received the sexual assault report in January. Deputies say the abuse happened between 2010 and 2013. The child was brought to the Dove House Children's Advocacy to be interviewed. Deputies arrested Young after interviewing additional witnesses. The child was known to Young, deputies say. The child's age was not released. Young was sent to the Iredell County Detention Center and given a $750,000 bond.
LOS ANGELES — It was a different kind of chase on the 5 Freeway Wednesday. The man deputies were chasing didn’t have a vehicle — or pants. A man being taken to jail somehow escaped while he was in handcuffs near San Fernando. He made a break for freedom, somehow getting his arms under his legs in the back of a patrol vehicle. A witness captured the bizarre pursuit on his cellphone video. Authorities said the man was able to kick out a window of the vehicle and made a run for it — naked. It happened during the morning commute. Cars had to come to a complete halt and brake suddenly as the naked man weaved in and out of traffic. “All of a sudden, everybody starts slowing down, slamming their brakes. And then I see a naked guy, “said the man who shot the cellphone video. “And I see two police officers following him. It was insane. Everyone just starts slamming their brakes.” The inmate was being transferred from Santa Clarita downtown to a mental facility. The witness said the man crawled up into the wheel well of a big rig trying to escape capture but police were able to pull him out.
The man who shot former Saints defensive end Will Smith has been indicted on murder and attempted murder charges by a grand jury in New Orleans. Cardell Hayes was indicted on Thursday while a probable cause hearing was going on in a separate courtroom. That hearing was being held to determine if there was reason to charge Hayes, so the news of the indictment obviously interrupted those proceedings. Hayes was indicted on second-degree murder for shooting Smith and on second-degree attempted murder for shooting Smith’s widow Racquel, who was hospitalized and attended Smith’s funeral in a wheelchair as a result of her injuries. Hayes has been jailed since the April 9 shooting, which took place after Hayes’ car allegedly rear-ended Smith’s car. An argument ensued, followed by gunshots that the Orleans Parish coroner said left Smith shot once in the chest and seven times in the back. Hayes’ lawyers don’t dispute Hayes fired those shots, but have argued that their client is “legally not guilty” of murder. 
Two brothers in California were arrested Thursday in connection with the murders of their parents, who were near a note reading: "Sorry, my first kill was clumsy."Hasib Rabbi, 22, and his 17-year-old brother were arrested three days after the deaths of their parents Golam and Shamima. Police found Hasib Rabbi in Tracy late Wednesday, about 55 miles from the family's San Jose home. Each parent was shot at least once, police said. Friends who checked on the parents Sunday found a cryptic note on the hardwood floor next to the bodies. It read: “Sorry, my first kill was clumsy." A longer message on the wall reportedly included the phrase, “I can't be like you, telling a lie. I can't love someone without telling them.” Police believed the couple had been killed by “someone familiar” with them. Golam, an engineer, and Shamima, an accountant, were originally from Bangladesh and had settled in the Bay Area after coming to the U.S. decades ago. They were part of the Evergreen Islamic Center and some had speculated that the violence may be linked to the victims’ faith, though police say that is not the case. The center posted on Facebook that the "tragic loss of Br. Golam Rabbi and Sr. Shamima Rabbi have been devastating to the family and the community at large."
