warpedskydiver 0 #1 June 18, 2006 Paper: Boy Once Falsely Accused Arrested Saturday, June 17, 2006 8:16 PM EDT The Associated Press CALUMET PARK, Ill. (AP) — A boy who won a $2 million settlement with the city of Chicago after being wrongly accused of murdering an 11-year-old girl in 1998 has been arrested in a double shooting in a south suburb, according to a news report. The boy, now 15, was caught committing the crime on video surveillance with his older brother, Calumet Park Cmdr. Mel Davis told the Chicago Sun-Times for its Saturday editions. "He turned around and looked at the camera with a gun in his hand," Davis said. "It doesn't get any clearer than that." One of the shooting victims, whose name was not released, was on life support at an area hospital, Calumet Park police Chief Mark Davis told the paper. The other victim suffered a bullet wound in the leg, but has talked to investigators. Calumet Park police declined to comment to The Associated Press on Saturday and a spokesman for the prosecutor's office did not immediately return a telephone call. The shooting happened around noon Wednesday at a gas station. The victims were parked in a car at the station when the 15-year-old allegedly approached the driver's side door and his brother approached the passenger's side, each holding handguns, the police chief said. The teenager has not given a statement to police because his mother is "concerned for his safety and wanted to be in the room with him while he was being questioned," Mel Davis said. In 1998 the teen, then 7, and another boy, then 8, were accused in the death of Ryan Harris, making them the youngest murder suspects in the nation at the time. It took almost a month before they were cleared in the killing after tests showed semen on the girl's clothing could not have come from the children. DNA tests later led prosecutors to charge Floyd Durr, a convicted sex offender, who pleaded guilty in April and was sentenced to life in prison.Quote 2 million bucks, and he chose to be what he could have escaped Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites akarunway 1 #2 June 18, 2006 Need to shoot him too!I hold it true, whate'er befall; I feel it, when I sorrow most; 'Tis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all.
