South Side man charged in fatal crash on Dan Ryan

A South Side man has been charged with reckless murder in a crash on the Dan Ryan Expressway last weekend that left one man dead and another person seriously injured, police said.

Raheem M. Dennard, 25, of the 300 block of East 37th Street, turned himself in to Illinois State Police at the Wentworth District Police Station about 6 p.m. Tuesday in connection with the death of Deandre Plair, 26, police said.

Plair died after a car Dennard was driving hit the outside wall of the southbound local lanes, crossed traffic, climbed the embankment at the 47th Street exit, hit a traffic control box and came to rest next to a bridge, police said. Another person was seriously injured.

Dennard fled the scene following the crash.

On Friday, Dennard was ordered held in lieu of $ 400,000 bail on charges of reckless murder in a motor vehicle accident and leaving the scene of an accident that resulted in injury, according to Cook County Jail records.

Dennard has been issued tickets for having no valid driver's license or driving on a suspended or revoked license at least five times since 2004, according to court records. His latest ticket before this week's charges, which was for driving on a suspended or revoked license, was issued by Chicago police on April 26, 2011, and he is scheduled to appear in Cook County Traffic Court on May 14 in that case. He still owes more than $ 1,100 for tickets in previous traffic cases, according to court records.

Dennard is scheduled to appear in Cook County Violence Court on May 15 in connection with the reckless murder charge.

Dexter nearly gets caught by Debra (Best Scene from Season 5)

This is the best scene from Dexter Season 5 so far in my opinion and it comes from episode 6. In this scene Dexter is trying to help Lumen dispose of a person she has killed. Dexter however still has someone in the back of his car which he was meant to kill before Lumen interrupted him. Debra and Masuka are also on the scene as they got a call about a possible murder in the area and are waiting for Dexter to arrive not knowing he is already there. The best part is when Masuka explains what may have happened in such a detailed way. (Classic Masuka) Cannot wait for the rest of season 5

EVERETT -- Police on Wednesday were canvassing the View Ridge-Madison neighborhood in Everett after a man was found dead there the night before. A neighbor spotted the man on the ground outside a vacant house at 22 Madison St. He called 911 about 6:20 p.m. The man had obvious signs of trauma to his torso, police said. He looked to be in his late 20s or early 30s. The Everett Major Crimes Unit is investigating the death as a homicide, Lt. Robert Goetz said. Detectives declined to say more about how they believe the man may have died. There are no identified suspects or motives. Detectives received a search warrant around 11:45 p.m. Tuesday and collected evidence at the scene. They returned Wednesday afternoon to look for clues in the daylight, Goetz said.

Manslaughter charges possible in boy's death

Published: Thursday, August 23, 2012, 5:55 p.m. MONROE -- Detectives believe a 7-year-old Monroe boy's parents should face second-degree manslaughter charges in connection with his January overdose death. Monroe police this week wrapped up their probe into the boy's Jan. 30 death and forwarded the case to prosecutors to decide if his parents should face criminal charges. Snohomish County deputy prosecutor Lisa Paul likely will begin reviewing the case in the coming days. She doesn't expect to make a charging decision in the near future, however. "It's quite an extensive investigation, and I want to review it thoroughly before I make any decision," she said. The boy, identified as "A.J." in court papers, ingested a lethal amount of salicylates, a chemical common in aspirin and other over-the-counter drugs. The medical examiner declined to conduct an autopsy on the boy, making it difficult to determine how the drug ended up in the boy's system. A
