Jewish center shooting suspect granted court delay

  • 10 years ago
The white supremacist charged with killing three people at two Jewish facilities near Kansas City on Passover Sunday is granted a month-long delay.

A district judge granted suspect Frazier Glenn Cross Jr.'s request --- setting his next hearing for May 29.

Cross, who is being held on $10 million bond, has not yet entered a plea.

He's being charged with capital murder in the shooting deaths of a 14-year-old and his grandfather outside a Jewish community center in a Kansas City suburb.

Prosecutors sought the capital murder charge because more than one person was killed at a single location --- it carries with it the possibility of the death penalty.

He's also facing a first-degree premeditated murder charge in the fatal shooting of Terri LaManno at a Jewish retirement home shortly after leaving the Jewish Community Center.

A conviction in LaManno's death would bring a sentence of up to life in prison, with parole not considered for 25 years.
