NCCU death suspect still in custody
Shannon Crawley, arrested in the killing of an N.C. Central University student last week, remains in police custody after a judge declined to set a bond for the Greensboro woman this morning.
Crawley, 27, was arrested last night in the death of Denita Smith, whose body was found at the bottom of a staircase at Campus Crossings, an apartment complex that houses students.
Crawley's attorney, Bruce Lee of Greensboro, declined to comment on the case.
Crawley shuffled into the Durham courtroom in white scrubs and jail-issue slippers, her shoulders slumped and her eyelids drooping. She sat on a bench to face the judge, who charged her with murder.
Crawley, who has two elementary-school aged children, has no prior record, an assistant district attorney told the judge, except that she failed to appear in court a year ago on a charge of driving without her license.
Lee said he hadn't talked to Crawley and was on his way to the fifth floor of the jail to visit her.
Meanwhile, two men who appeared to be Crawley's relatives milled around the lobby of the jail, trying to escape a legion of reporters. They declined to comment.
Police released smiling mug shots of Crawley Tuesday night when they announced her arrest. This morning, new photos had been taken at the Durham jail, showing a a sullen girl with tear-streaked cheeks.
Those smiling pictures were mug shots? I thought surely those must be her ID pictures from the Greensboro PD!
