$10M bond set for accused second line shooter, $500K each for Tara Lane double homicide suspects
SUMMARY: Weeks after a double murder at a second line event, 19-year-old Curtis Gray, the teenage suspect, had his bond set at $10 million during his first court appearance. Police believe Gray, using his mother’s gun, killed Malachi Jackson and Ran Carter as part of a longstanding feud. Evidence, including shell casings matching a Glock 22 linked to a previous investigation, video footage of the confrontation, and Gray’s phone activity, supports the case against him. Arrested at his mother’s apartment, he faces significant charges, with his next hearing scheduled for April. Comparatively, suspects in another murder had bonds set at only $500,000.

The Breakdown: Extradition of NY doctor unlikely in Louisiana abortion case
SUMMARY: Dr. Margaret Carpenter, a New York doctor, and the mother of a pregnant teen were indicted by a Louisiana grand jury in January for allegedly violating the state’s abortion laws. Prosecutors claim Dr. Carpenter mailed abortion pills to Louisiana, where the drugs are classified as controlled substances. Louisiana’s Attorney General, Liz Merl, is pursuing extradition, but New York’s 2023 Shield Law may protect Dr. Carpenter. This law prevents New York authorities from cooperating with out-of-state investigations or prosecutions regarding abortion pills, making extradition unlikely. Despite this, Merl warned Dr. Carpenter to be cautious when traveling.
