during the week of September 24, 2012. The cases were heard by The Honorable James W.
Morgan, Superior Court Judge and the Honorable Richard D. Boner, Superior Court Judge, in
Courtroom 5170 of the Mecklenburg County Courthouse.<br />
<br />
One hundred seventy six (176) defendants came before the court.<br />
<br />
25 were scheduled for a probable cause hearing after a recent arrest for a probation
violation<br />
56 had their hearing date continued after a motion by the State or Defendant<br />
12 were on for a review set by a previous judge, had an order for arrest issued for
failing to appear, or fell within another miscellaneous category<br />
77 admitted violating probation
1 denied violating probation, had a hearing and were found in violation by the judge<br />
5 had their probation violations dismissed by the Court.<br />
0 denied violating probation, had a hearing and were not found to be in violation by
the judge
22 had their probation terminated by the judge<br />
13 were sentenced to a 90 day period of confinement (but revocation was not
permitted pursuant to N.C.G.S. 15A-1344(d2))<br />
18 were revoked from probation by the judge (if probation is revoked, the defendant is
sent to prison to serve the previously suspended prison sentence)<br />
24 were not revoked from probation by the judge; instead, they were continued on
supervised probation under the same or additional conditions<br />
<br />
<i>Notes about Probation Violations:
Generally, felony probation violation cases are scheduled every other week in courtroom 5170; the cases are
heard Monday through Thursday. Each Friday of these weeks the courtroom is used for felony guilty pleas or to
hear motions for appropriate relief as allowed pursuant to N.C.G.S. 15A-1411 through -1422.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>In response to a felony probation violation, a defendant may admit or deny the violation(s). If the defendant
admits the violation(s) and the violation(s) are for anything other than committing a new offense or absconding
supervision the judge cannot revoke probation and activate the suspended sentence; he/she may only sentence the
defendant to a 90-day period of confinement pursuant to N.C.G.S. 15A-1344(d2). However, if the defendant has
already been sentenced to two such periods of confinement or if the defendant admits to being an absconder or to
committing a new offense, the presiding judge can revoke the defendant’s probation. In lieu of periods of

RELEASE
R. Andrew Murray
District Attorney confinement or revocation, the judge may choose to continue the defendant on supervised probation under the
same or additional terms, or to terminate (end) the supervision. If a defendant denies the violation(s), a hearing
is held in which the probation officer usually testifies. If the defendant is found by the judge to be in willful
violation of his/her terms of probation, the judge will take one of the same actions described above that he/she
would be permitted to take if the defendant had admitted to the violation(s). </i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>The DA’s Office does not have the power to dismiss, or negotiate the outcome of, a probation violation. A
previous sentencing judge has issued an Order placing the defendant on probation and all violations of that term
of probation are alleged by the probation officer and brought before a judge to determine whether a violation
exists and, if so, what action should be taken against the defendant for the violation. </i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>In addition to the probation violation hearings, on Monday of every week, hearings are held to determine whether
probable cause exists to detain defendants that have been recently arrested for a probation violation. If probable
cause is found, a violation hearing is set for the next available date. If, in lieu of waiting for a violation hearing
date, the defendant chooses to immediately admit violation and request activation of his/her sentence, and if such
request is lawful, he/she may do so.

Foust , Superior Court Judge. In addition, cases were also called in courtroom 5150 before The Honorable Richard D. Boner, Superior Court Judge, in courtroom 5130 with The Honorable Richard A. Baddour, Jr., Superior Court Judge, and in courtroom 5370 with the Honorable Eric L. Levinson, Superior Court Judge.<br />
<br />
Monday, September 17, was designated as an administrative day in Courtroom 5170. In the morning, the State called the trial calendar for the week. The Court then heard felony probation violation probable cause hearings and arraignments for misdemeanor appeals cases. <br />
<br />
The following trials were done throughout the week in three courtrooms:<br />
<br />
<b>Alvin Jasper</b>, 65, and <b>Javaris Black</b>, 23, were tried together for cruelty to animals. The jury found the defendants guilty in that both Jasper and Black failed to provide the necessary sustenance to 6 horses when they did not provide adequate food and water for the animals. Five of the six animals have made a full recovery. Judge Levinson sentenced Black and Jasper to 30 days in the county jail, respectively; both sentences were suspended pending the successful completion of 18 months of unsupervised probation.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Jereme David Lukoskie</b>, 27, was tried for driving while impaired. The jury returned a verdict of guilty. Judge Foust sentenced Lukoskie to 30 days in the county jail; that sentence was suspended pending the successful completion of 12 months unsupervised probation. <br />
<br />
<b>Danielle Micaela Gaddy</b>, 28, was tried for injury to personal property. The jury returned a verdict of not guilty. <br />
<br />
<i>Note: Misdemeanors and infractions are originally prosecuted in district court in North Carolina. In criminal district court, a judge determines guilt, not a jury; this is commonly referred to as a “bench trial.” However, defendants have a right to appeal a conviction from the district court to the superior </i><i>court for a trial de novo. The new trial in superior court must be a jury trial, not a bench trial. In a de </i><i>novo trial, the jury cannot be informed that a district court judge previously found the defendant guilty; </i><i>further, a record of any evidence, including testimony, from district court may not be introduced. While </i><i>the DA’s Office prosecutes nearly 225,000 misdemeanors and infractions each year in district court in </i><i>Mecklenburg County, each defendant is entitled to exercise his/her right to appeal to the superior </i><i>court. When a misdemeanor or infraction occupies the limited time available in our superior </i><i>courtrooms, it the intent of the DA’s Office to keep the public informed of the results through news releases like this one. Due to the volume of misdemeanors and infractions prosecuted in district court each day, reports like this are not possible for all of those cases.</i>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23846106.post-63639176148779590522012-10-02T09:12:00.001-04:002012-10-02T09:12:42.492-04:00CMPD Arrest Man for Stolen, Counterfeit Checks<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody>

The victim of a pedestrian-involved car accident in Charlotte died as a result of his unjuries on Saturday. Because of his death, the motorist that hit him is being charged with his murder.<br />
<br />

The manhunt for 12 year-old Abigale Faith Lefevers ended Wednesday evening as she was discovered safe and sound in Hallandale Beach, Florida. Hallandale Beach is just south of Hollywood and over 800 miles from her home. Lefevers' alleged captor, 38 year-old Timothy Newman, was apprehended in the process. Police credit information received from public tips to the breakthrough discovery.<br />
<br />
An Amber Alert and information about Lefevers' disappearance was circulated in Georgia, and authorities say the tips came pouring in for two days. After authorities received information that the two were in the Coral Gables, Florida area, they circulated information there, too.<br />
<br />
The big break came when an off-duty police officer recognized the red Chrysler Sebring the pair were driving after receiving information on his cell phone. He quickly informed on-duty officers and the stop was made.<br />

Authorities say Lefevers is fine aside from being slightly frazzled from the past few days. She had been missing since Monday when police found her, but had been texting Newman in the past few weeks. Efforts are being made to transport her back to North Carolina.<br />
<br />
<br />
This isn't Newman's first encounter with the law. He served over 12 months in prison after being convicted of two count of sexual offense. Those charges involved a 14 year-old girl in Stokes County, NC. Newman was released on parole in October of 2005 for those charges, but his parole was revoked in 2010. He served eight months before his released from prison in March of 2011.<br />
<br />
Newman now faces multiple charges, which are pending.<br />

An overnight shooting left a Charlotte man dead and police looking for his killer. CMPD received a call of shots fired on Garibaldi Avenue shortly after 4:00 Thursday morning.<br />
<br />
Authorities confirmed the victim as 24 year-old Johnny Peay, who died at Carolinas Medical Center after being shot in the back while exiting his vehicle.<br />
<br />
The suspect is described as a black male standing 6' tall, possible with a dark complexion. He also wore glasses and was seen leaving the crime scene in a four-door silver vehicle. Police say they have no reason to classify this as a random act of violence and suspect Peay knew his killer.<br />

Forty-one year-old Larry Alvis Crowder pleaded guilty to four counts of statutory rape and three counts of third-degree sexual exploitation of a minor on Monday. Crowder, a native of Cherryville in Gaston County, picked up a 14 year-old girl from her home after she had a fight with her mother on January 28, 2011. That's when he drove her to a Cabarrus County hotel and engaged in sexual acts with her.<br />
<br />
Crowder was arrested hours later in Rock Hill after the girl's mother called police and an amber alert was issued. Crowder had made sexual advances towards the girl from May to December of 2010.<br />
<br />
Crowder pleaded guilty as part of a plea bargain in which charges from other counties involving the same incident were dropped. He was sentenced to 20 to 24 years in prison and will be monitored via satellite for the rest of his life.Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23846106.post-20078111377532296412012-09-26T13:55:00.002-04:002012-09-26T13:55:42.412-04:00Iredell Sheriffs Charge 2 Men With 25 Local Burglaries<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody>

Iredell County Sheriffs charged two men in connection with a large string of robberies throughout the southern part of the county.<br />
<br />
Thirty-seven year-old Matthew Little and 27 year-old Stephen Buchanan have been linked to 25 thefts in the areas of Mooresville and Troutman.<br />
<br />
Little was arrested on August 16 after acting as an accomplice to Buchanan in a larceny and breaking and entering in Troutman. Buchanan was shot during the burglary and was still at the scene when police arrived. He was taken by air to Carolinas Medical Center where he received treatment before his subsequent release and arrest.<br />

</tbody></table>
Catching Buchanan in the act of burglary was a pivotal development in the case to find the men responsible for the thefts. Little had left Buchanan at the scene but was later caught nearby by deputies. After obtaining a search warrant, Sheriffs found stolen property in the car the men were operating. The stolen property tied the two men to the slew of other robberies.<br />
<br />
Both men are being jailed in Iredell County while they await trial. Buchanan is being held under a $605,000 secured bond, while Little is being held under a $300,000 secured bond.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com
