The ReadyWriter

The 17-year-old Ivy League Harlem teen, kissed her mother goodbye before she was led away in cuffs to Rykers Island, to start serving a 90-day jail term under an unusual plea agreement.

Afrika is expected to plead guilty on July 7 to conspiracy and weapons charges, but started serving her jail time now to ensure her release early in the school year.

Owes spent two months in jail before the historic Abyssinian Baptist Church posted $25,000 bail. She was arrested Feb. 16 as part of a violent crack-slinging gang known as the “137th Street Crew.”

Owes was valedictorian of her Harlem eighth-grade class before her acceptance into the $43,800-a-year Deerfield Academy in Massachusetts. She left the school after two years due to unexcused absences, and transferred to Millennium High School in Manhattan.

Butts said he believed Owes would take full advantage of her second chance. “I’ve got faith in Afrika,” he said.

The ReadyWriter

Kim Crawford, a 21-year-old Bronx mom killed her 5-year-old son (by beating him to death), because he broke the television while playing Wii.

Crawford revealed to police that she smacked her son Jamar Johnson in his back and stomach on June 12 “harder than I’ve ever hit him,” then watched him vomit and faint for six days as his internal injuries got worse while she never took him to the hospital.

Crawford said, She never took her son Jamar to the hospital because she feared getting arrested, so the dumb bitch instead watched her own son die.

“I was worried they’d see the bruises and I’d get in trouble,” she told cops.

The child suffered a ruptured pancreas and intestinal injuries, prosecutors said. He died at Montefiore Hospital late Friday. Prosecutors charged Crawford with murder and manslaughter. She was ordered her held without bond.

The petite single mom told cops several different stories about how Jamar was injured before finally admitting the truth, prosecutors said. First, she claimed he simply got sick, went to sleep and never woke up, prosecutors said. She then claimed he fell while playing in the park and injured himself.

After hours of questioning, she finally admitted becoming enraged at Jamar when he told her he broke the television.

“Cop Who Killed Pace University Student Honored”

The ReadyWriter

Officer Aaron Hess, a Westchester County cop who fatally shot Pace University football player, DanRoy Henry, has been named Officer of the Year by The Pleasantville Policeman Benevolent Association.

Ain’t this a bitch? So basically this cops benevolent association saw fit to honor this man/cop for killing a young black college athlete. They’re sending a message basically saying: This young black life didn’t mean shit to us, so to hell with him, his parents, his love ones and friends. To hell with their feelings!!!! We are the law and it’s okay when we kill them.

The award was given to Hess on Friday night, which only angered Danroy Henry’s parents who buried their son, on his 21st birthday.

“This honor is a slap in the face.” “It speaks to the arrogance that we have experienced since Oct. 17, 2010,” the player’s mother, Angela Henry said. Her son was killed in a hail of gunfire and “It just shows their inhumanity and their arrogance” she concluded.

Hess and another Pleasantville officer fired at Henry’s car after they claimed he ignored their orders to stop and tried to run them down in the parking lot of a Thornwood bar.

The Pleasantville Policeman Benevolent Association, chose to honor Hess for how he has handled the shooting and its aftermath.

A grand jury declined to indict him and the other officer in February.

“10 Bodies Found In NY; Serial Killer May Be Cop”

The ReadyWriter

Police now know that a serial killer was hard at work dumping bodies in Long Island, NY since December, 2006 — they just don’t know who he is, or how many bodies they will ultimately find.

Yesterday, police unearthed a 9th set of bones that might belong to a woman who went missing after advertising her escort services online. 4 of the 9 women found so far along a quarter-mile strip of beachfront property, were prostitutes who advertised on Craigslist.com or other similar websites.

The woman who sparked the search was Shannon Gilbert, 24, a prostitute who went missing after she ran screaming from the home of a wealthy client in the gated millionaires’ community of Oak Beach.

Neighbors alerted the police when she knocked on a door screaming, “they’re trying to kill me,” before running off. She was never seen again. Police don’t believe her client was responsible for her disappearance.

The peaceful serenity of the quiet retirement community has been shattered. Homes that once listed for $1 million are now going for $600,000 or less.

“FBI Release New Files In ‘Notorious B.I.G.’ Murder”

The ReadyWriter

The FBI is now revealing, that rapper Christopher “Notorious B.I.G.” Wallace was killed with “very rare” metal-piercing, German ammunition that could help unlock his 1997 murder, which is still unsolved.

The 359-page cold case file released under the Freedom of Information Act says, bullets that were used to kill the rapper, are sold exclusively at two distributors in the U.S., one in California and one in New Jersey.

And according to the feds, the same ammunition was later found in the home of rogue Los Angeles Police officer David Mack, along with a “shrine” he had erected to Tupac Shakur. Mack was later busted for bank robbery shortly after Wallace’s death.

Investigators wrote they were unaware of any tests conducted to connect the bullets, and never matched the ammunition found during the search of Mack’s home after the bank robbery, with the bullets used to kill Biggie.

But a retired LAPD cop testified about Mack’s Tupac Shakur shrine in 2005 and his theory that Mack used his police expertise to help hip-hop mogul Marion “Suge” Knight order Wallace’s hit, as payback for Shakur’s unsolved murder six months earlier.

Both Mack and Knight have denied any involvement in the hail of gunfire that killed Wallace, 24, as he sat in a vehicle on a Los Angeles street.

LAPD did not immediately respond to a request for comment as their probe is continuing.
