A Westmoreland County judge on Tuesday rejected a defense request to reduce a $200,000 cash bond that has kept an 18-year-old man in jail since he was charged last month with three counts of attempted murder in connection with a shooting in Greensburg.
Common Pleas Court Judge Christopher Feliciani said he wanted to ensure Jaron Malik Haten-McCoy and his family were protected in the wake of a shooting in June in which one person was wounded and two others were charged with weapons offenses.

A Westmoreland County jury acquitted a Greensburg man accused of raping an unconscious woman but couldn’t reach a verdict on another charge of sexual assault.
The jury deliberated more than three hours and returned a mixed verdict against Emmanuel Lebbie, 25, who prosecutors said assaulted a woman as she slept at a Greensburg apartment in the early hours of Sept. 29, 2019.
Jurors on Thursday found Lebbie not guilty of a single count of rape but could not reach a verdict on a felony count of sexual assault and, as a result, Judge Christopher Feliciani declared a mistrial for that offense.
