DETROIT (WWJ) – A hearing for a Sterling Heights man facing charges related to the deaths of four women dubbed the “Backpage Murders” has been adjourned.
Thursday’s preliminary hearing for James Brown in Detroit’s 36th District Court was reset for May 30 at the request of prosecutors.
Brown pleaded not guilty to charges of arson, mutilation of a dead body and disinternment in connection with the murders of four Detroit women, whose bodies were all found in abandoned cars in the city last December. Police said three of the women had ties to ads for escort services on the website backpage.com.

May 17, 2012 at 1:24 pm | In Detroit strip clubs | No CommentsWinans, 54, told WXYZ-TV that four or five young men followed him from inside the gas station and attacked him while he gassed up his vehicle.

Detroit Strip Clubs: Marvin Winans, Whitney Houston’s Pastor, Carjacked and Robbed in Detroit [Video]
May 17, 2012 at 1:24 pm | In Detroit strip clubs | No CommentsIn addition to beating the legendary pastor up, the attackers took his gray Louis Vuitton wallet containing $200, his $15,000 Rolex gold-and-diamond-encrusted watch, and drove off in his vehicle.
Winans suffered minor scrapes, bumps and ripped pants in the incident but reportedly refused EMS transport to a hospital. Instead, the 54-year-old gospel recording artist had a friend drive him to get medical attention, police said.
Of the attack and carjacking, Winans said:
“I’m just saddened that it has come to this. This kind of nonsense just has to stop. It’s just the savageness of what’s happening in the street.”
Although the pastor believes the men who assaulted him did not recognize him, he feels it would not have mattered if they did.
“And if they did, it didn’t make much difference,” said Winans, who has been active in civic issues, including taking a stand against the proliferation of strip clubs in Detroit’s neighborhoods.
Detroit Strip Clubs: Stabbing victim’s memory clouded, Windsor court hears
May 17, 2012 at 1:24 pm | In Detroit strip clubs | No CommentsWINDSOR, Ont. — A Chatham man who was stabbed seven times during a melee at a Windsor strip club testified Wednesday he has little recollection how the fight began.
Joseph Robert told Superior Court he was with friends at Leopardâs strip club on April 28, 2010, when he got into a fight with 30-year-old Darryl Byrd, who is charged with attempted murder.
Robert, 28, said his memory is sketchy because the fight happened two years ago and he was intoxicated. He refused two offers from assistant Crown attorney Elizabeth Brown to refresh his memory by viewing the statement he gave police.
From testimony heard so far by Justice Renee Pomerance, Robert and three friends drove to Windsor from Chatham to have some fun. Robert and a cousin were violating bail conditions imposed after the two were charged with aggravated assault in connection with a bar fight in Chatham in December 2009. The two were required to refrain from drinking and had a 10 p.m. curfew.

Detroit Strip Clubs: Political insider: Torrice makes bid for House
May 17, 2012 at 1:49 am | In Detroit strip clubs | No CommentsThe model and private detective who was once dubbed America’s hottest politician filed this week to run for state representative in the 24th District against Philip Kurczewski of Clinton Township in the August Democratic primary. The winner will face Rep. Anthony Forlini , R-Harrison Township.
Torrice’s tenure as a commissioner from Clinton Township was seemingly mired in one controversy after another — from the time she posed on “Inside Edition” in a yellow bikini holding a campaign sign to her financial troubles and a court conviction for “willfully and negligently” setting fire to her Chesterfield home (she later claimed the insurance company was trying to “extort” her “because I’m a commissioner”).
Torrice once had to fight off suggestions she was a stripper while publicly acknowledging she has a stripper pole in her bedroom “for exercise only.”
