Questions remain after teen dies in Ky. juvenile detention

Officials in Kentucky are investigating a 16-year-old girl's death at a juvenile detention center.

Gynnya McMillen was found unresponsive early in the morning of Jan. 11, at the Lincoln Village Regional Juvenile Detention Center in Elizabethtown, Ky. State and local officials are investigating, but a week after McMillen's death, officials have released few details in the case.

Hardin County Coroner William Lee, Jr. said in an interview Monday that in an initial autopsy on Jan. 12, he saw no outward signs, such as "visual bruising," that could conclusively signal a cause of death. Lee also said it was unlikely she had a heart condition.

Lee said the full results wouldn't be available for weeks, until after pathology tests were done.

On Jan. 15, a person claiming to be McMillen's sister created a Facebook page called "Justice for Gynnya McMillen," on which she pleads for more information related to the case.

"My 16yr old sister died in custody of a detention center but they're not giving out any info on how she was found and they're saying (her) autopsy shows no cause of death," the person wrote in a post that has been shared more than 19,000 times. It is not clear why McMillen was is custody at the time of her death.

Karen Whaley, a residential counselor for Home of the Innocents, a Louisville-based support services agency, told 48 Hours' Crimesider Monday that she remembered McMillen as a "quiet, beautiful person."

Whaley said she worked with McMillen years ago when the girl stayed at a Home of the Innocents residential facility.

"Gynnya stayed to herself a whole lot," Whaley said. "She didn't bother anyone, she didn't disturb anyone and didn't kick up any fuss."

Whaley echoed calls on the Facebook page for details about the circumstances of McMillen's death.

"I don't know how she passed and that's the one thing that's blowing me away. That and it being in police custody," Whaley said.

Stites Bound Over on Single Felony; Father of Child Jailed

Martin Stites

Three felony child sex abuse charges were dismissed against former McAlester police Lt. Martin Stites on Monday in a contentious court hearing.

During the hearing, the father of a 4-year-old girl Stites is accused of molesting erupted in court, prompting a year in jail sentence for the father on a contempt finding made by Pittsburg County Special District Judge Matthew Sheets.

Sheets sent the man to jail after he yelled obscenities in court and didn't heed a warning to be quiet.

Stites, meanwhile, still faces a single felony count of lewd molestation. He was bound over for trial on that felony charge.

Stites, 57, of McAlester, was originally arrested in May on charges he molested a 3-year-old girl he was watching at the time on behalf of the girl's mother. Stites is a retired McAlester police lieutenant who served 22 years on the force.

Authorities at the time said a forensic analysis of the child indicated she'd been sexually assaulted. Authorities also said there was evidence to indicate the victim's clothing was burned after the fact.

Stites was originally charged with two counts of sexual abuse — child under 12 and one count of lewd molestation. Each of those charges was dismissed by Judge Sheets during a preliminary hearing for Stites. After hearing testimony from the now 4-year-old, the grandmother of the child, and a representative from a local child advocacy group, Sheets ruled there was not enough evidence to support the charges and dismissed them.

Sheets did, however, order Stites to stand trial on a new charge of lewd molestation.

District 18 Assistant District Attorney Adam Scharn said he plans to appeal Sheets' dismissal ruling.

Meanwhile, the father of the alleged victim — who the News-Capital is not identifying to protect the identity of his daughter — was arrested during the hearing following multiple outbursts in Judge Sheets' courtroom.

The preliminary hearing started with an intense exchange between prosecutors Scharn and Christina Burns and Stites' defense attorney, Jeremy Beaver, over the issue of whether the victim should be allowed to have her grandfather sit next to her while she testified. Beaver told the court a main defense is whether the alleged victim is competent to testify or if she was coached to accuse Stites of the crimes.

Once Beaver said he had his concerns about the victim's competency, a noise was made in the area where the child's family was sitting in the courtroom. Immediately, Sheets demanded silence during the proceedings and warned any outbursts wouldn't be tolerated.

The attorney's agreed a district attorney's office representative would be allowed to sit with the now 4-year-old while she testified.

It was during the victim's testimony when things quickly turned ugly. Burns asked the victim if she could identify her assailant in the courtroom. The victim gave an answer, but the answer was not completely audible. Burns said she thought the victim said something along the lines of "I don't know," but the victim's father wanted to point out she had said "I don't want to look at him."

The father was quickly shushed by family around him, but Beaver pointed out the outburst as a conflict because he feared the child would now answer questions seeking approval from family members. Sheets ordered the father leave the courtroom.

"Can I come back?" the father asked Sheets.

Sheets told the father that he was not allowed back in the courtroom and the father took exception. While exiting the the courtroom the father used explicit language to convey his displeasure with the court and loudly pushed open the courtroom door. Sheets ordered Pittsburg County Sheriff Deputy Mike Cathey to arrest the father for being in contempt in court.

After a short break, the father reappeared in the courtroom with handcuffs on as he was escorted by a deputy. Sheets asked him what he said while exiting the courtroom and the father confirmed he used foul language. Sheets sentenced the man to six months in the Pittsburg County Justice Center.

The father then tuned to Stites and used several cuss words to voice his displeasure with him. Sheets then used his gavel to restore order and sentenced the man to an additional six months in the county jail, citing a second violation.

After the father was taken away from the courtroom, the preliminary hearing started again. The child offered testimony, using a nickname for Stites, indicating the individual had touched her with his hand on her private areas. However, many of the questions asked by Burns to the 4-year-old were met with a "I don't know" response and her telling officials she did not want to answer some of the questions.

In cross-examination, Beaver asked the girl if she knew lying was wrong and if she understood the consequences of lying.

"If I stole your (toy) and you told your mom, what would happen?" Beaver asked the victim.

The victim told him she didn't know, and Beaver used her responses to his questions as an indicator she was not competent because she did not understand there would be consequences if she told a lie. Beaver also accused prosecutors of leading the witness several times and raised concerns the victim was coached by a family member.

Scharn volunteered to dismiss a count of lewd molestation against Stites, citing he did not believe prosecutors had reached the burden of proof to move forward. Sheets said he did not believe there was enough evidence to bound Stites over on either abuse charge as well. But, Sheets did bound Stites over on one count of lewd molestation because of the child's testimony.

Prosecutors told Sheets they intended to appeal the judge's rulings. Stites is due back in court for a hearing on March 11.

According to police, Edward Currie had medical emergency

Family gathers in Sacramento to press for answers on death of father of four

There was no struggle or use of force during arrest, police say

BY STEPHEN MAGAGNINI, BRENNA LYLES AND ELLEN GARRISON

Family members of a young Sacramento man who died at Sacramento County Main Jail gathered Sunday and demanded to know what killed the former high school and college athlete.

Edward Currie, 31, father of four young children, was arrested Saturday night in North Sacramento on suspicion of drug possession. Sacramento police spokesman Sgt. Justin Brown said there was no struggle during the arrest and no force was used.

Currie died shortly after arriving at the jail, police said. County coroner’s officials listed the cause of death as undetermined Sunday evening.

A police news release Sunday afternoon said Currie was taken to the nurses’ station at the jail for medical screening when he arrived. While there, he suffered an unspecified medical emergency. After CPR was administered, the Sacramento Fire Department rushed him to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead, police said.

More than a dozen of Currie’s relatives, most from the Bay Area, gathered Sunday at his mother’s apartment on Manzanita Avenue in Carmichael. Currie grew up in Pittsburg but moved to Sacramento about 10 years ago.

“Why is my nephew dead?” said Joshua Price Mahdi, Currie’s uncle. “My nephew was in perfect health.”

Currie’s mother, Jewell Mahdi, said she received a visit from a law enforcement chaplain about 3 p.m. Sunday informing her of her son’s death. She then went to the jail and the coroner’s office but received no answers. “They won’t give us any information,” she said.

More than a dozen people gathered Sunday night at a vigil held in the Better Images barber shop parking lot in North Sacramento, just a block away from where Currie was arrested Saturday. Candles flickered around a sedan in the parking lot as people hugged and huddled together.

Many expressed confusion and disbelief about the death.

Currie's girlfriend Lacy Lewis, 21, said she was shocked to learn of Currie's arrest and death through social media Saturday night.

"A bunch of people were posting 'Rest in peace' and that's how I found out," Lewis said. "I just have no idea what happened. I have no idea."

The last time she spoke to Currie was the night before his arrest. Like many friends and family gathered, Lewis said she was waiting to hear more details as they unfold.

Shortly after Currie’s name was released, about two dozen friends, some of them dating back to his junior high days in Pittsburg, posted condolences on Facebook. Many friends bemoaned his death as another example of a black man dying too young.

He was remembered as funny and generous. Some recalled playing football, basketball and baseball on the same teams. After graduating from Pittsburg High School, Currie played football at Grambling State University, his relatives said. More recently, he attended American River College.

Currie had four sons, ages 7 months to 9 years old, relatives said. “He was a loveable person; he just wanted to live day to day,” said Margaret Patrice Melbourne, 28, the mother of Currie’s youngest son, London.

“Too many African American fathers are dying for no reason,” said another aunt, Renee Flaggs.

Currie was arrested Saturday evening near the 2200 block of Northgate Boulevard in north Sacramento after officers said they found drugs in his possession during a search.

The Police Department statement said the homicide, internal affairs and crime scene investigations units will work with the city, the coroner’s office and the district attorney’s office to investigate Currie’s death.

The NYPD Is Willing to Protect Beyoncé Under One Condition

Are they serious?

Published February 20th

In your Saturday edition of "get a life," the New York Police Department is apparently bothered by Beyoncé's Super Bowl 50 Halftime show performance, so much so that they're offering the pop star safety in exchange for an apology.

You read that right. According to TMZ, the NYPD wants the "Formation" singer to publicly explain that her pro-Black halftime performance was not an attack on cops.

"Our NYPD sources admit they don't believe Beyoncé was advocating hostility toward police in her homage to the Black Panthers," a statement on the department's site reads. "Problem is... they say that's the way it came across for millions of viewers."

Cops are reportedly not happy and don't want Queen Bey to "promote violence," but are willing to protect her once she explains why she chose that particular treatment for her performance.

According to Pix11, Ed Mullins, the President of New York's Sergeants Benevolent Association wants Bey to stop painting the police as villains: "Law enforcement across the country has to make a statement that we're not bad guys and she's got to stop portraying us as bad guys."

Mullins went on to add that by boycotting her two sold-out Citi Field stadium shows for her Formation World Tour — yep, apparently there's a full-on NYPD Beyoncé boycott — the cops' message will more clearly be portrayed.

Former homicide detective "Bo" Dietl, who runs an internatonal security business, also felt the need to add that he's disappointed in Beyoncé and won't be supporting her sold-out tour. "As much as I like business, I would not provide any security personnel for her concerts," he said.

We have a feeling Beyoncé doesn't necessarily need the help of the NYPD to be "protected." Have they seen her bodyguard, Julius? She's gucci. Regardless, TMZ updated their story to add that their sources report that the NYPD "will fully protect Beyoncé when she's in NYC."

Sheriffs: Beyoncé is ‘inciting bad behavior’ and endangering law enforcement

At first, Sheriff Robert Arnold said he had no explanation for why shots were fired outside his home in Rutherford County, Tenn., on Monday night — except perhaps for an undercurrent of anti-police sentiment in America.

“You do make people mad when you do your job; so that’s the only thing I could think of,” Arnold said at a news conference Tuesday, according to edited video of his comments posted by the Daily News Journal.

But then another possibility came to mind, and Arnold blamed Beyoncé.

“With everything that happened since the Super Bowl… that’s what I’m thinking: Here’s another target on law enforcement,” he said.

He went on: “You have Beyoncé’s video and that’s kind of bled over into other things, it seems.”

In a subsequent statement, Arnold said that his remarks “reflect the violence and senseless killing of seven deputies in the U.S. since the show aired. My comments are an observation of the violence that has occurred but in no way is meant to offend anyone.”

Since the Super Bowl, five U.S. police officers have been fatally shot, according to the non-profit Officer Down Memorial Page.

[Rudy Giuliani: Beyoncé’s halftime show was an ‘outrageous’ affront to police]

The hits keep coming for Beyoncé, whose new music video and Super Bowl halftime-show performance continue to attract the ire of law enforcement officers and officials who say she dialed up the hate and put police in danger.

In particular, they say, her Super Bowl show — watched by nearly 120 million Americans — carried a dangerous anti-police message.

A number of police officers and officials and their supporters took to social media the night of the Super Bowl to voice their displeasure with Beyoncé — emotions channeled by public officials and police groups in the days since.

“It’s inciting bad behavior,” National Sheriffs’ Association Executive Director Jonathan Thompson told The Washington Post this week. “Art is one thing, but yelling fire in a crowded theater is an entirely different one.”

On the night of the Super Bowl, Thompson said, the group was hosting a watch party at the J.W. Marriott in downtown Washington for members in town for an annual meeting. Reminded by one member that Beyoncé was about to perform her controversial new song, “Formation,” Thompson said he asked the party attendees if they wanted to turn off the volume.

“I got an overwhelming response from the audience: ‘We don’t want to hear it,'” he recalled. “And some of the language was a bit salty.”

And so, he said, the audio was muted and members of the association turned their backs on Beyoncé’s performance.

The Baltimore Sun

Parents accuse Baltimore police of brutality after son was injured downtown last weekend.

The parents of a 24-year-old man who was arrested at Power Plant Live in downtown Baltimore last weekend said Thursday that police brutalized their son and did not charge him with a crime until they realized the extent of his injuries.

Police Commissioner Kevin Davis acknowledged during a news conference that an arresting officer broke Aaron Winston's arm, but he said medical aid was rendered immediately and that the Special Investigation Response Team, which investigates all police use-of-force incidents, was called, according to policy.

According to the police report, officers were called about 1:30 a.m. Sunday to the Mosaic Nightclub and Lounge for a dispute between a man and a woman.

Three uniformed officers responded and began to escort the man out of the club when Winston approached and "tried to stop" them, the report said.

EXCLUSIVE: CCRB chairman says police unions are ‘squealing like a stuck pig’ for calling for his removal

Richard Emery, the chairman of the Civilian Complaint Review Board, says police unions won't drive him out of office. (SUSAN WATTS/NEW YORK DAILY NEWS)

Those, Mr. Chairman, are fighting words.

The embattled chairman of the Civilian Complaint Review Board lashed out Wednesday at police unions, likening their calls for his removal to “squealing like a stuck pig.”

In his first public response to a controversy over his law firm representing a man suing a sergeant and a cop who were investigated by the CCRB, Richard Emery vowed that the Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association and the Sergeants Benevolent Association are “not going to drive me out.”

“I was chosen by Bill de Blasio because of my extensive knowledge of police cases,” Emery told the Daily News.

“I’m not going to deprive the public and people who are abused by police officers of having access to excellent lawyers because some union is squealing like a stuck pig.”

Emery said the unions have seized on the lawsuit issue revealed by The News like “some small scrap of meat” to undermine the improvements he’s made to CCRB, including a 60% increase in substantiated complaints.

“I take their criticism as a sign of respect,” he said. “They’re taking us seriously.”

The presidents of the two police unions expressed outrage over Emery’s use of the word “pig,” which carries the inflammatory sting of an epithet against cops.

“Mr. Emery’s reference to police officers as ‘pigs’ betrays his unshakable contempt for the men and women of the NYPD who have risked their lives to make New York the safest big city in the world,” said sergeants union leader Ed Mullins.

PBA President Patrick Lynch said, “such a person should have no role in an agency charged with conducting fair and impartial investigations.”

The city Conflicts of Interest Board granted Emery permission to keep his name on his civil rights firm. The firm is also permitted to sue the city, but Emery must recuse himself from matters involving the CCRB.

But the union has argued that Emery is tone deaf to the appearance of having a financial interest in suing cops at the same time he serves at the CCRB.

A review by The News found that his firm has racked up more than $1 million in settlements and legal fees from lawsuits against the city and NYPD cops since he was appointed in July 2014.

“This is the first time we’re actually going to see a CCRB function properly, and I think it’s going to be a breath of fresh air,” de Blasio said at the time.

Emery pointed out that the half-dozen lawsuits were all filed before he became CCRB chairman and only one involved a review board investigation, which was completed well before he was even at the agency.

But Emery conceded that there are internal discussions at the firm about withdrawing from representing Stefon Luckey, a Queens man who retained his firm earlier this month, after the CCRB substantiated his complaint and prosecuted an NYPD sergeant for improper use of pepper spray. Luckey is also suing a cop who was investigated by the CCRB in the mistaken-identity arrest of tennis pro James Blake last year.

City Hall didn’t directly respond to Emery’s “stuck pig” comment.

“All members of the CCRB are appointed based on their demonstrated commitment to fair, ethical and objective investigations,” de Blasio spokeswoman Monica Klein said Wednesday.
