r*s 发帖数: 2555 | 1 WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. -- Three Florida teenagers are being held without bail
after being charged with murdering a professional mixed martial arts
fighter.
A judge in Palm Beach County denied bond Saturday to a 16-year-old Summer
Church and 18-year-olds Roberto Ortiz and Jace Swinton. All are charged as
adults with first-degree murder after the slaying of 25-year-old mixed
martial arts fighter Aaron Rajman.
The Palm Beach Post reports that while Church wasn't at the scene when
Swinton was killed during a July 3 home invasion, police say she was the
mastermind behind the slaying. The 11th-grader was arrested on her way to
school Friday.

Ortiz and Swinton are also charged with home invasion. Police say a fight
broke out after they entered Rajman's home and Rajman was fatally shot.
"This was no random act of violence," State Attorney Dave Aronberg told CBS
affiliate WPEC. "Mr. Rajman was targeted by these defendants, and we intend
to seek justice for the victim and his family."
Church's mother Judi Church, however, told the Sun Sentinel that her
daughter was friends with Rajman and that a group of men forced her at
gunpoint to call him.
"She's not a bad kid. She's trying to do good in school this year, and she
wants to go to nursing school," Judi Church told the paper.
She said her daughter is cooperating with police. |
