Back in October, we reported that Jonathan “Colored Gentleman” Harris had purged the world of a despicable coalburning skank.
Well, it seems that this skank was attracting negroes left, right and center, since another colored gent – this one resembling a failed genetic experiment – has also been arrested for robbing her.
With so much melanin passing through her apartment, was there any wonder she ended up dead?
Two men tied to a slain Ardmore model appeared before judges in Montgomery County this week.
One had been on the run from police for four months. The other had stayed put, locked in a jail cell, for nearly as long.
Jonathan Wesley Harris, 31, was formally arraigned Friday in Norristown on murder, robbery, and related charges in the death of Christina Carlin-Kraft, who police say was murdered inside her apartment this summer.
Two days earlier, Andre Melton, 31, was arrested in his native Southwest Philadelphia on minor drug charges. That run-in with city police ended the manhunt for Melton, a suspect in an unrelated robbery of Carlin-Kraft’s apartment the same week that Harris is accused of killing her.
Harris, from Western Pennsylvania, told investigators in August that he met Carlin-Kraft in Center City and accompanied her home to sell, and use, an ounce of cocaine. After the two had what he described as consensual sex, they fell into an argument, and he beat and choked her to death, he later confessed to police.
Little was said at Harris’ arraignment Friday, attended by Carlin-Kraft’s family and Alex Ciccotelli, her fiance. Assistant District Attorney Brianna Ringwood, who is handling the case, said afterward that prosecutors will not seek the death penalty.
A trial in the slaying of the 36-year-old model is tentatively scheduled for May. Harris remains in custody at the county jail, denied bail due to the nature of the charges.
Meanwhile, Melton was arraigned late Thursday after investigators brought him to the Lower Merion Police Department. He was charged with burglary, criminal trespass, and receiving stolen property, according to the warrant for his arrest issued Aug. 21.
He remained in custody on $25,000 bail, and he faces a preliminary hearing in the case Dec. 21.
