Prosecutors allege that the offenses were committed at Cordeaux Avenue on September 13, 2008.<\/p>\n
Jillian Williams is the prosecutor.\u00a0 Elliot Lockhart and Terrel Butler represent the defendants.<\/p>\n
Senior Justice Jon Isaacs is presiding.<\/p>\n
Burrows is the only defendant who is on bail.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
