The Pace University Football Player who was shot while waiting for friends outside of a bar in Mount Pleasant, New York.

A Westchester grand jury has cleared two police officers of any criminality in the controversial shooting death last year of a Pace University football player, prosecutors said today.

The Westchester County DA’s office said the probe, where more than 400 people were interviewed, yielded no indictments by the grand jury into the tragic death of Danroy Henry, Jr., on Oct. 17 outside a Mount Pleasant bar.

After hearing testimony and examining ballistics and toxicology reports, the grand jury declined to indict Officer Aaron Hess, who said he fired his gun to protect himself from the path of Henry’s car.

Officer Ronald Beckley, who also fired at Henry’s vehicle, was also cleared of any wrongdoing.

Investigators later determined that Henry had a blood-alcohol level of 0.13 — way above the state legal limit of .08 — when he was killed.

The DA said the investigation was conducted in coordination with three other law enforcement agencies, including the NY State Police, the Westchester County Department of Public Safety’s Forensic Identification Unit and the Mount Pleasant Police Department.

“Levy’s Mother Knows That, Convicted Killer”

Ingmar Guandique may not have killed her daughter., Chandra Levy.

The Washington intern’s mysterious disappearance took down a congressman and captured the nation’s attention a decade ago.

Ingmar Guandique was convicted of first-degree murder for allegedly attacking Levy while she exercised in Washington’s Rock Creek Park in May 2001. Her disappearance made headlines when she was romantically linked to then, Rep. Gary Condit, D-Calif. Condit was once a suspect, but police no longer believe he was involved in her disappearance.

The mother of the Washington intern, Susan Levy said Monday that “she’d like to believe Ingmar Guandique is responsible for her daughter’s death”, but admitted she has a sliver of doubt.

Despite a lack of witnesses and no DNA evidence linking him to the crime, Guandique was still sentenced Friday to 60 years in prison. He was convicted in November of first-degree murder in Levy’s 2001 disappearance and death.

Sandra Levy then pleaded for the truth about Chandra’s murder to Guandique, “Did you really take her?” she asked. “Look into my eyes right now and tell me.” Guandique silently shook his head “No” in response.

I believe Guandique was the ‘fall guy’ in the Levy death and disappearance, simply because Gary Condit was desperate to be unrelated to this crime; after it became national news that he and the intern had been having an affair and she was rumored to be pregnant at the time of her disappearance.

“Parents File $120 Million Lawsuit”

The ReadyWriter

The parents of Danroy “DJ” Henry have file a $120 million dollar lawsuit against the Pleasantville police department.

You remember this story, the Pace University football player, who was killed by Pleasantville police for no apparent reason.

Well according to police accounts of what happened that night are varying and it has set off a great deal of controversy in the town of Pleasantville, New York, where Henry was shot outside a nightclub.

The incident began on the night of October 17, when police were called to investigate a disturbance outside a bar in the suburb of Thornwood, which is located right near the Pace University campus.

Officer Aaron Hess and some of the witnesses on the scene say that, Hess shot at Henry’s windshield because he was struck by the car as Henry drove away from the scene. But other witnesses are saying that Hess’ use of force was unjustified and the family is seeking a murder indictment against him.

Hess’ lawyer claims that his client was thrown on the hood of the car by the impact and had no other choice but to shoot. It has also been reported that the 20-year old Henry had a blood alcohol level above the legal limit for driving.

There are others on the scene who argue that Hess did not have to shoot Henry. The attorney’s involved are seeking an independent investigation into the matter.

Witnesses say that, Henry was following police instructions when he pulled away from the scene and that Hess did not tell him to stop the car before he shot him.

“Was It Really -A- Suicide… Or A Lynching?”

The ReadyWriter

Frederick Jermaine Carter was found on December 3, with his body hanging from an oak tree in North Greenwood, MS, a predominantly white section of Leflore County in Mississippi.

North Greenwood is known as an area that black people are sometimes afraid to visit. Carter was with his stepfather, who said that he wandered off from an area in which they were both working.

County Sheriff Ricky Banks told the media that a mental condition led to Carter drifting off and hanging himself. He also said that there is no evidence that there was a crime committed, but the community is outraged that the location of Carter’s death was never taped off as a crime scene and they also believe that the investigation was inadequate.

Greenwood has a stain on its national reputation when it comes to aggressive behavior toward African-Americans.

Just 10 miles north of the town is where Emmett Till was murdered in 1955. Till’s alleged killers were acquitted of the crime, even though the boy was shot in the head and had his eyes gouged out. Till’s attackers were angry that he’d allegedly whistled at a white woman.

There are a lot of unanswered questions here and State Senator David Jordan has offered to help the family, saying that he doesn’t buy the story being presented by authorities:

“There are a lot of unanswered questions. Carter supposedly had rope in his pocket but didn’t have anything to cut it with? Why wasn’t the scene of the crime blocked off? That tree limb is nearly 12 feet high., I’m 6’2″ and I can’t see how I could maneuver to do that, so how could a boy his height hang himself like that?” said Jordan.

The mysterious death of Frederick Jermaine Carter shows all the classic signs of significant injustice. Given the history of Mississippi, what do you think?

“He Told A Brooklyn Judge: “Suck My Dick”

The ReadyWriter

Those were Zaire Paige’, 24, choice words before he was hit with 107 years to life in prison for killing Lethania Garcia and wounding four others in a brazen October 2008 Fort Greene shootout.

“With all due respect and from the bottom of my heart, suck my dick.”

“I respectfully decline your offer,” the judge dead-panned. “You are a danger to all civilized members of society.”

While he might be a danger to a civilized society, his choice of words to the judge in an open courtroom were a flat-out disgrace!

Page along with Robert Crawford was convicted in a lunchtime attack on Garcia, 20. The pair tracked him down as he left a state court, opened fire and continued to shoot inside a hair salon, killing their target and wounding four others, including off-duty cop Andrea Cox.

Crawford was sentenced to 53 years in prison last month.
