[Pic in URL of Defendant in Court]
Charles Samuel, 50, appeared in Los Angeles County Superior Court on Tuesday. He is charged with one count each of murder, kidnapping to commit robbery, second-degree robbery and attempted first-degree automated teller machine robbery.
Samuel is accused of killing Lily Burk, 17, who was abducted from the Wilshire area Friday afternoon. Her body was found in her car early Saturday near Alameda and 5th streets downtown. The arraignment was continued.

Thanks for the pics. I say summary execution for the killer! To call these murderers wild animals is to give hyenas a bad name.
I imagine there was some naivete there, but she was seventeen! Who is not naive at 17?
At seventeen I could read people like a book you could or I should say I could see a con a mile away. There is what is called gut feelings about someone.
Neither of my daughters, who had Geneva Conventions ID cards issued by the USofA (Army Guard and Navy active) by the time they were 17.
But maybe her dad didn't instill any training or common sense. Or maybe she was at the wrong place at the wrong time.
However it works out, they better find the guy that did it, prove it, and kill him, in the name of Justice.

Are yuou a guy? I was pretty naive at 17. BUT I was not walking around Skid Row, either. Oh, yeh — I did go to school in Mexico City that fall. DUH.
The system is to blame. We shouldn’t have people wandering the streets with dangerous mental conditions. They belong in sheltered care for their own good and ours. Only the ACLU can love results like this. We have hundreds of these people praying on one another and the general public in all the big cities, but especially those with good weather.
I feel sorry for them and their victims.
awwww, poor kid.
Oakland’s violence seems so be slowly seeping into Alameda. I used to live there.
Actually, this young woman was slain at 5th and Alemeda in Los Angeles. Not a terrible downtown area (depending on the time of day); a bustling commercial and produce area.
My first reaction is WHERE WERE HER PARENTS!!!!????? Why was a 17 year-old there?????
One of Ron Dellum’s supporters, no doubt.
Why does communism/marxists and crime go so well together?
Oh, Dellums doesn’t believe in the death penalty, like his good comrades in the PC law schools in California, the ACLU, and the Democrat Party.
Hope the murderer suffers a long and painful death.
That is what I heard on KFI 640am this evening on the Kennedy and Soots (sp?) show.
Apparently this poor girl was an innocent, naive girl helping the homeless. Her mother was the same. This murderer had her car keys and blood all over his clothes. He was in a half way house near her school in No. Hollywood.
Sad, SO sad....
If that were my child that he killed, I place my hands around his neck and squeeze. I apologize for that, but that’s how I feel. I can’t imagine what the family is going through and how they are going to have to sit in court, while this vermin pleads not guilty and the whole charade of a trial. The vermin is guaranteed his rights, I know, but I wish that a vermin that committed murder would stand up, admit it, and spare the family the agony that a trial would bring.
