Murder Charges and Investigation

New York Woman Facing Murder Charges

Most the time when you hear or think about a murder, you think of how awful it is. You’re always expecting the worse like someone got stabbed or shot. This case however, is very gruesome.

A woman from New York City, is now facing murder charges after the police found a pregnant mother’s baby cut from her womb. Talk about a painful way to go.

The woman, Ashleigh Wade is only twenty-two years old and she’s being charged with murder as well as: criminal possession of a weapon and several other charges. The New York Times reports that her charges are all related to the stabbing death of Angelikque Sutton.

According to the authorities, Ashleigh had been telling people for month that she was expecting a baby. She would even post a baby registry and due date online. However, Ashleigh was never pregnant, according to the investigators.

Ashleigh Wade was reportedly friends with Angelikque Sutton back in Elementary School, the two had reportedly reconnected just before Wade invited Sutton to her apartment. The police found Sutton’s body at the apartment as well as Wade being there.

When the police first got to the scene, Ashleigh claimed that the newborn baby was hers. However, she later changed her story and claimed that she stabbed Sutton in self-defense. Ashleigh also told the police that she cut out Sutton’s unborn child to save the baby.

The local neighbors told the local NEWS that deceased Sutton would have been a great mother if she would have had the chance.

Neighbor Monica Keller’s Statement:

She would have been the best possible mother to that baby. Devoted to that baby, making sure that baby had everything it needs.

 

Luckily the poor defenseless baby survived, sadly his or her mother didn’t. The baby is reported to be in good health.

 

Fatal Stabbing near Oceanside City Beach

 

Police are on the hunt for a suspect who fatally stabbed a thirty-two year old man near Oceanside City Beach. They are even asking for the public’s help in finding the suspect.

The victim that was later identified as Joseph Prince, was at first thought to have been hit by a vehicle along the Wisconsin Street area. The responding officers quickly found out that this wasn’t a routine pedestrian vs. vehicle situation.

When the officers got to the scene, they found Mr. Prince lying unconscious in the roadway and suffering from stab wounds. It happened on a Thursday around 3:45 p.m. according to Oceanside Police Lt. Leonard Cosby. The officers also reported that Prince sadly died at the scene of the incident.

According to a local media outlet, Mr. Prince had became a part of a brief altercation with the suspect and then was stabbed with a screwdriver. However, it’s unclear what the fight was about at this time.

If anyone has any information about this incident or the suspect, please call the police at (760) 435-4428.

Phoenix Manslaughter Lawyer

At the Phoenix based Offices of Criminal Defense Lawyers PLLC, we have defended many clients charged with a violent crime, including murder charges and other high-level violent crimes. We can provide the strong defense you need if you have been charged with voluntary manslaughter or involuntary manslaughter.

If you discovered your spouse in bed with a lover and as a result killed your spouse in a sudden rage, you may have been charged with first-degree murder. However, you may only be guilty of voluntary manslaughter, an offense that carries a maximum prison sentence of 11 years, as opposed to a life sentence.

Manslaughter is defined as the unlawful killing of a human being without malice. The term malice is used in a highly technical sense and does not simply imply a feeling of anger.

 

Types of Manslaughter Defenses

If you have been charged with murder and the evidence is stacked against you to show that you did unlawfully kill another person, seeking a conviction to the lesser charge of voluntary manslaughter may make a significant difference in your case.

To effectively raise such a defense, you must be able to establish that you were provoked, that a reasonable person in such a situation might be similarly provoked to kill, and that you did not have sufficient time to cool off and further contemplate your actions. If retained as your counsel, we will thoroughly investigate the facts of your case to determine which defense strategy gives you the best opportunity to protect your freedom.

 

Types of Manslaughter Cases in Phoenix

In the state of Arizona, you may be charged with involuntary manslaughter under two separate circumstances:

  • If you committed a crime (other than a felony) and unintentionally caused the

death of another person.

  • If you were engaged in a lawful act that might cause death and acted without

“due caution and circumspection.”

 

Manslaughter Conviction and Sentencing

A conviction for involuntary manslaughter carries a maximum sentence of four years imprisonment. If you caused the unintentional death of another person and you were not committing a crime, it is not sufficient for the prosecution to allege that you made a mistake. The phrase “without due cause and circumspection” implies something more than a simple mistake. Our Phoenix Attorneys can raise a number of issues and defenses on your behalf to raise the strong defense you need. A plea to a lesser offense or a plea that allows you to avoid a criminal conviction may be possible depending on the facts of your case. If you choose to fight your charges at trial, we have the skilled trial lawyers to aggressively defend your rights in the courtroom.

Sexual Assault Crimes

Man Sexually Abuses Young Women

How can sex offenders go under the radar for so long? Does neighbors or someone not find them suspicious? Maybe not. However, in some cases people do notice and they call the authorities.

A man has allegedly been sexually abusing a group of underage girls in Coolidge over a twenty year period. The witnesses have luckily began testifying in the trial for their attacker.

The suspect, Robert Molina’s victims said that the fifty-eight year old man would molest her when she was only twelve years old.

Another witness said that she woke up on night to find Molina fondling her. There will be seven brave young women testifying against Molina. The crimes started in the 1990’s.

Molina has been charged with six counts of child molestation as well as three counts of sexual conduct with a minor and three counts of sexual abuse.

The charges have been classified as, “dangerous crimes against children”. Luckily those cases usually have stricter and tougher penalties.

Police Arrest Sexual Assault Suspect

The prosecutor for this case, David Ahl said that Molina used his hand to sexually gratify himself and to repeatedly violate his victims. He did however, accuse the defendant saying that he put his hands down the children’s pants to touch them inappropriately while they slept.

Opening arguments got straight to the point, the prosecutors told the jury not to believe any suggestions that the victims were working as a “conspiracy”.

There was another witness to testify, she didn’t immediately report the abuse due to the fact that she was scared and embarrassed which isn’t uncommon for a case like this.

Molina has pleaded not guilty to all of the other charges. They’re claiming that the stories don’t “corroborate” with one another. He thinks that there is reasonable doubt involved.

I have a feeling this will not be a long trial. There’s too many witnesses against this man and evidence. However, with the right defense lawyer anything can happen.

Bishop Involved in Sexual Abuse Case

Bishop Faces Felony Charges

When you think of a Bishop you really don’t think of sexual abuse. However, sometimes it happens. You just never know now days, it can happen anytime and any where.

There were a few charges that have been dropped against the Arizona Roman Catholic bishop. However, the former church officials still face the sexual misconduct charges for the allegations that he molested a young boy thirty-five years ago.

According to reports, a Maricopa County Superior Court judge actually dismissed counts of public nuisance, fraud, fiduciary fraud and even negligent infliction of emotional distress. That still leaves eight of the original fourteen counts.

The retired bishop, Thomas O’Brien was accused of sexually abusing a little boy on several occasions. This happened at parishes in Phoenix and Goodyear. This was in 1977 to 1982. However, O’Brien still denies the allegations.

O’Brien led the diocese in Phoenix then it became a global scandal. The allegations rocked the Catholic church, now rumors spread about pedophiles priests going unpunished.

Bishop Sexual Assault

The Bishop said that in 2003 in an immunity deal that he would let the church employees who were accused of the sex abuse would continue to have contact with the children. How sick is that? Just weeks after the immunity deal, O’Brien resigned as the Bishop and was later arrested for a hit and run death of a pedestrian.

O’Brien had been a bishop in Phoenix for at least 21 years. The bishop resigned in 2003. This was after being accused of hit and killing, 43 year old Jim Reed with his vehicle.

The bishop didn’t even stop to help Reed or even report the accident to the authorities. Later, he did tell the investigators that he didn’t even realize that he had hit a person.

He also said that he thought he had hit a dog or cat or that someone had even threw a rock at his car. The prosecutors said O’Brien tried to have his windshield fixed. So there’s a pretty good clue that something was wrong. If he didn’t know for sure why wouldn’t you report it or even stop to be sure.

The man was sentenced to probation as well as 1,000 hours of community service this was after he was convicted of leaving the scene.

Sexual Assault in Communities

 

Man Arrested for The Sexual Assault of a 16 Year Old

The police have been investigating a sexual assault claim. according to the Police a sixteen year old Valley girl was sexually assaulted by an Uber Driver. This happened during her ride home from school in the 2015 year.

An Uber driver is an app that allows you to become or use a personal taxi service pretty much. If you have a car, you can sign up to pick up people in your area and get paid for it. If you need rides to places then you can also put in a request to be picked up.

From the Uber Website

Uber is a smartphone app that makes it easy to get paid for driving your own car. It’s simple to use. When you want to make money just turn on the app and pick up riders. You’ll see how much you made after every ride and you’ll get paid weekly.

It sadly an easy target for predators, even though it shouldn’t be. It’s a great idea, just needs a way to beef up the security a little better.

According to court records, on June 1, 2015 a 16 year old high school student sent in a request for an Uber ride home from her school in Phoenix. She needed to go to her home in North Scottsdale after just finishing up her exams.

The police said that the driver was fifty-three year old, James Richard Stough II. He picked her up as she requested and started talking to her. She told Stough that she was an athlete and she was recovering from a severe ankle injury.

Of course the pervert, must have decided to take his chance to prey on the poor, injured teen.  Before they go to the victim’s home Stough had told her that he was actually a nurse. He pulled over in an undeveloped home lots area. This was in Pinnacle Peak and Pima. The man opened the back door of the vehicle and claimed that he was going to look at her ankle.

The girl later told the police that she was scared and did whatever he told her to do as he touched her inappropriately. I can’t imagine the fear that young girl was going through.

Stough later released the victim about a half mile from her home. You would think that he would have taken her the whole way after all of that. The girl’s father called the police and requested an Uber ride, knowing that the same driver might be still in the area. The Scottsdale Police arrived to the victims home the same time as the suspect arrived.

Of course Stough denies any involvement in the incident. But luckily the Uber records support the victims story. The records show that he did stop the fare in the location that the victim said. This is one predator that isn’t going to get away with lying. Thankfully her family was home and was able to quickly think of something with the police.

The victim had give the police her shorts so that the Lab could do some DNA investigating on it. The lab work came back showing Stough’s DNA on the girl’s shorts. Stough was then arrested and is facing charges of kidnapping, sexual conduct with a minor and assault.

Stough was removed from the Uber account. Uber showed that he had no prior complaints against him. Which some girls might have been too scare to come forward or maybe this was his first time doing that. He knew she was injured and she couldn’t put up much of a fight. It’s sad that young girl had to go through that.

Hopefully Uber finds a way to keep track of their drivers a little better. Maybe keep a dash cam going and have someone monitor the driver’s GPS…if they stop other than the intended place, call the person who needed the ride to check on things.

Crimes Against Children

Police Fight for Crimes Against Children

Child abuse or crimes done to children is absolutely disgusting. In my opinion it’s one of the worse forms of abuse. This is probably why the abusers doesn’t last long in prison.

According to the Woonsocket Police, on Friday they were able to arrest a man who was accused of crimes against children.

The police said that they found twenty-nine year old, Rodolfo Ortiz Rivera. He was hiding out in Springfield, Massachusetts. The police found him just a day after they requested public assistance in finding him.

He must be a real piece of work because he had a warrant out of his arrest for first degree child molestation, second degree child abuse, as well as solicitation of a six year old girl.

Women Charged for Child Abuse

Being a woman and a mother, you would think that a woman wouldn’t want to harm any child. What happened to their motherly instincts? Just because a child has something wrong with them medically doesn’t mean that your love for them stops or your care.

Two women are now being charged for their part in a 2016 case where the five year old little boy suffered seizures and broken bones after he was hit with a hammer. The women enter “please of no contest to all charges”. This is happening in Muskogee County.

Just because they plea no contest doesn’t mean they are guilty or that they are innocent. They just mean that they aren’t admitting to the guilt but have no defense for themselves. So pretty much they’re guilty but don’t want to admit it.

Twenty-six year old Kayla Jones and twenty-nine year old Rachel Stevens were both sentenced to twenty years in jail. They are allowed a one year judicial review.

Both of the young women were charged with one count of child abuse by injury as well as one count of child neglect.

Another Example of Children Being Abused

Boys fight. When a son turns teenager, the father and son are bound to butt heads. But taking a clothes hanger and choking a five year old is a little over the top. No child, no matter how old deserves that.

A Mesa man is accused of choking his five year old son with a clothes hanger. According to the reports from the Mesa police on September 12th they were contacted by the school officials. According to the school a five year old little boy showed up to school with marks on his little chest as well as his neck.

The nurse documented the “cuts and scratches on the child’s head, chest, and marks on his arms”.

Crimes Against Children in Arizona

The little boy told the authorities that his father had choked him with a white clothes hanger and cut his little arm with a  knife. His father is thirty year old, Patrick Lamont Smith.

The police went to the home near Lindsey and Broadway roads where they found some heartbreaking evidence. There were other children in the home and agreed with the victims story. They even told the police that the little boy was “the only one abused that day”. How sad. How long have these poor children had to suffer through this with that man?

The suspect, told the police that yes he does have a white clothes hanger. He uses it to threaten the children when they misbehave.

He did admit to grabbing and yelling at the poor child. However, he denied choking him. He did tell the police that he grabbed the little boy by the back of his neck. Which is horrible in itself.

According to reports, Smith has been charged with aggravated assault as well as child abuse.

Child Sexual Abuse Case in Phoenix

Man Charged With Child Sexual Abuse

Child sexual abuse is sadly something that never goes away. It seems like more and more people are abusing children. Luckily they’re getting caught more and more as well.

Recently a man has been charged for two counts of child sexual abuse, soliciting a minor for indecent exposure, as well as possession of juvenile pornography has plead guilty to all of the above charges.

According to reports, sixty year old, Glenn Douglas Smith will receive thirty years in prison for three counts and twenty years in prison for the fourth count. He will also have to pay a $1,000 fine for each of those charges.

All but the first 25 years of the 30 year sentences were “suspended”. Each sentence is to “run concurrently”.

The reports say that Smith will not be able to try for parole for at least twenty-one years and three months. This is because it’s a child sexual abuse crime. When it’s a child sexual abuse crime, at least 85% of your sentence must be served before you can be considered for parole.

Of course after Smith gets out he will have to register as a sex offender.

Sexual Offender

According to the Department of Corrections, Smith actually has a past of similar  convictions. His past record includes two counts of lewd or indecent proposals/ acts to a child.

However, since the Oklahoma Sex Offender Registration Act didn’t go into effect until November 1, 1989 and he was convicted in June of ’89 he never had to register as a sex offender.

This time around Smith pleaded guilty to the accusations of sexually assaulting a thirteen year old on New Years Eve as well as performing oral sex on a child.

A woman “provided” the child for Smith to sexually assault in exchange for money is now being held without bond and is awaiting trial.

Her name is Heather Barbee and she is thirty-four years old. She is accused of sending kids to perform sexual acts with an adult. The suspect then received the payment from the adult in exchange for “not reporting the incident to the police”.

Barbee is facing two counts of enabling child sexual abuse and will return to court on October 12th.

Eighteen Year old Charged with Sexual Abuse

An eighteen year old young man has been charged with child sexual abuse. The alleged abuse supposedly happened several years ago when the victim was only seven years old.

Eighteen year old, William Norfleet is now being charged for the following after the young, brave girl’s “disclosure” to a relative. The first time she told was in August in 2016 then again last Spring. Due to the closeness of the reports,  authorities started an investigation into the matter.

Apparently Norfleet told the police investigators about both of the incidents. Reportedly they both included oral sex with the victim in August 2016 and another last Spring.

The charges however, pertain mainly to the references made about this year’s incident.

The reports said that the incident happened at an address in the N. Phoenix area.

A text message was found that Norfleet “explains” the issue to a relative.
