Defendants in W.Va. torture case to appear in court by The Associated Press Print StoryEmail StoryAfter a week of national attention on the rural community of Big Creek, six people charged with torturing a Charleston woman are scheduled to appear in Logan County courtrooms. But the proceedings may be delayed by defense attorneys recusing themselves from the case because of conflict of interest concerns. Four of the six -- Bobby Brewster, George Messer, Alisha Burton and Karen Burton -- are scheduled to appear Monday in Logan County Magistrate Court. Frankie Brewster and Danny Combs are scheduled for magistrate court appearances on Tuesday. Logan County Prosecutor Brian Abraham said at least two of the six public defenders representing the defendants have recused themselves, though, which could result in delays. Lawyers for Bobby Brewster and George Messer have filed motions to recuse themselves, because they represented one or more of the defendants in the past. The six are charged with assaulting Megan Williams, 20, for more than a week at a ramshackle trailer in Big Creek. Police say Williams was tortured, sexually assaulted, forced to eat animal droppings and taunted with a racial slur. Williams' ordeal ended when an anonymous tip led to her discovery by police. Frankie Brewster, 49, and her son, Bobby Brewster, 24, are both charged with kidnapping and sexual assault, among other counts. Combs, 20, of Harts, is charged with sexual assault and malicious wounding; Karen Burton, 46, of Chapmanville, is charged with malicious wounding, battery and assault during the commission of a felony; and Burton's daughter, Alisha Burton, 23, and Messer, 27, both of Chapmanville, are charged with assault during the commission of a felony and battery. The most serious charge facing the Burtons and Messer is assault during the commission of a felony, which carries a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison. All six remain in custody in lieu of $100,000 cash bail each. The case has drawn intense public attention, with national organizations like the Southern Christian Leadership Conference and the NAACP visiting the state. The Rev. Al Sharpton has also said he plans to come to West Virginia because of the case. Because Williams is black and the defendants are white, some -- including church groups close to the Williams family -- want hate crimes charges filed, either at the state or federal level. U.S. Attorney Charles T. Miller has said he doesn't currently plan to file civil rights charges, while Abraham said he may file new or amended charges in the days to come. Williams had a "social relationship'' with Bobby Brewster going back at least several months, according to Abraham, which could make state hate crimes or federal civil rights charges difficult to prove. In July, Bobby Brewster was arrested by State Police and charged with assaulting Williams. Last week, Abraham said the intense public interest in the case may mean that any trials of the six will be held outside Logan County. "It may be hard to keep this in Logan,'' he said. Brewster and the other five suspects have previous arrest records going back several years, according to records from Logan County Magistrate Court. Since 1991, police have filed 108 criminal charges against the six. Frankie Brewster faced the most serious charges among them. Karen Burton, 46, of Chapmanville had the most charges in all, with 33; and her daughter, Alisha Burton, 23, had 20.

By MATTHEW VERRINDER, Associated Press Writer Sun Sep 16, 2:35 PM ET TRENTON, N.J. - It's a fashion that started in prison, and now the saggy pants craze has come full circle — low-slung street strutting in some cities may soon mean run-ins with the law, including a stint in jail. ADVERTISEMENT Proposals to ban saggy pants are starting to ride up in several places. At the extreme end, wearing pants low enough to show boxers or bare buttocks in one small Louisiana town means six months in jail and a $500 fine. A crackdown also is being pushed in Atlanta. And in Trenton, getting caught with your pants down may soon result in not only a fine, but a city worker assessing where your life is headed. "Are they employed? Do they have a high school diploma? It's a wonderful way to redirect at that point," said Trenton Councilwoman Annette Lartigue, who is drafting a law to outlaw saggy pants. "The message is clear: We don't want to see your backside." The bare-your-britches fashion is believed to have started in prisons, where inmates aren't given belts with their baggy uniform pants to prevent hangings and beatings. By the late 80s, the trend had made it to gangster rap videos, then went on to skateboarders in the suburbs and high school hallways. "For young people, it's a form of rebellion and identity," Adrian "Easy A.D." Harris, 43, a founding member of the Bronx's legendary rap group Cold Crush Brothers. "The young people think it's fashionable. They don't think it's negative." But for those who want to stop them see it as an indecent, sloppy trend that is a bad influence on children. "It has the potential to catch on with elementary school kids, and we want to stop it before it gets there," said C.T. Martin, an Atlanta councilman. "Teachers have raised questions about what a distraction it is." In Atlanta, a law has been introduced to ban sagging and punishment could include small fines or community work — but no jail time, Martin said. The penalty is stiffer in Delcambre, La., where in June the town council passed an ordinance that carries a fine of up to $500 or six months in jail for exposing underwear in public. Several other municipalities and parish governments in Louisiana have enacted similar laws in recent months. At Trenton hip-hop clothing store Razor Sharp Clothing Shop 4 Ballers, shopper Mark Wise, 30, said his jeans sag for practical reasons. "The reason I don't wear tight pants is because it's easier to get money out of my pocket this way," Wise said. "It's just more comfortable." Shop owner Mack Murray said Trenton's proposed ordinance unfairly targets blacks. "Are they going to go after construction workers and plumbers, because their pants sag, too?" Murray asked. "They're stereotyping us." The American Civil Liberties Union agrees. "In Atlanta, we see this as racial profiling," said Benetta Standly, statewide organizer for the American Civil Liberties Union of Georgia. "It's going to target African-American male youths. There's a fear with people associating the way you dress with crimes being committed."
