A Lake County woman charged with murder in the death of her 6-year-old son missed a scheduled court appearance Monday because she is in the hospital, her lawyer said.
Jeremiah Perry, 20, has pleaded not guilty to all charges in the murder of his 6-year-old brother Damari Perry, whose body was found near at abandoned home in Gary, Indiana, last month.
The brother of Damari Perry, the 6-year-old North Chicago boy whose body was found in Gary, Indiana, who has filed motions to represent himself in court, was given time by a Lake County judge Tuesday morning to think about that important decision.
Jeremiah Perry, 20, appeared for his first hearing in court since a Lake County grand jury retuned a 16-count felony indictment in the December death of Damari Perry, 5.
