Worthy has charged Sierra Nichole Tankersley, 19 (DOB: 1/10/95), of Detroit, with felony murder and child abuse first degree in connection with the death of her one-year-old daughter, Malayh Tankersley.

Bassel Saad - Defendant charged in connection with a fatal assault on a soccer referee at an adult soccer game in Livonia. Today Judge Cynthia Gray Hathaway recused herself because she stated that attorney Cyril Hall represented her in an unspecified matter in the past, that she has a background in sports and had recused herself in the past in cases involving sports figures, and that she viewed a sports event over the weekend and that impacted her ability to hear the present case. She did so because she wants to be sure the defendant has an unbiased judge presiding over the case.

Judge Thomas Cameron is now assigned to the case and the next action date for motions is on November 21, 2014, but the exact time will be given by the court tomorrow. The trial is now scheduled for February 19, 2015 at 9:00 a.m.
