What Not To Do: Cell Phone Leads To Murder Suspect

A man is in custody for the Friday murder of Ralph Turner, shot and killed as he was leaving the Horseshoe Casino in Hammond, Indiana. Arthur Marcell Grady is being held without bond on charges of first degree murder and armed robbery after police found his cell phone at the scene of the crime. Per the Sun-Times:

Grady, who was dressed in a black-hooded sweatshirt, allegedly followed Turner home from the casino, which is about 20 minutes from Chicago, and shot him twice in the chest after exiting an SUV, police said. Grady then allegedly went through Turner’s pockets and took Turner's cell phone -- while dropping his own on the scene, police said, adding that Grady's phone was recovered. It was not known how much money was taken.
You're innocent until proven guilty, but we're waiting to hear how the defense attorney explains this one.
