The sentencing, the result of a March 11 plea agreement, came over the objection of a probation officer who said it wasn’t strong enough to fit the crime. John Serre, a probation officer with Arrowhead Regional Corrections, told St. Louis District Court Judge Mark Munger that because of the “heinous” nature of the crimes, Cooper, now 18, should serve consecutive instead of concurrent sentences, doubling his time in prison. But Prosecutor Charles Schumacher...

On Christmas Day, a Major with the Salvation Army taking his three children into the organization's community center in North Little Rock, was held up and shot to death (in what appears to be a botched robbery attempt). The Major and his children are white and the two perpetrators were black.

Darnell Colquitt thought the TV reporters didn’t belong in the Tillicum ’hood and told them so. People tote heat around here, he warned.
