"Man Charged in Newark Deaths Pleads Not Guilty" from the NY Times reports that Jose Carranza, a 28 year old illegal immigrant from Peru, pleaded not guilty in the vicious execution style murder of three students in Newark, New Jersey. Carranza was cited for an order of detention by the federal government. He is being held on a $1 million bond.
Mr. Carranza, who lives in Orange, had been out on $150,000 bail pending trial on two separate indictments: sexual assault on a young girl in his care over four years when she was 5 to 9; and aggravated assault stemming from a bar fight last year. He turned himself in to Mayor Booker personally Thursday, about 12 hours after a 15-year-old, who is not being identified because he is a juvenile, was arrested on the same charges.
