Conrado Juarez, a 52-year-old kitchen worker, remained held without bail and wasn't in court as prosecutors said a grand jury decided there was enough evi- dence to continue charging him in the girl's death. His lawyer had decided Juarez didn't need to be at the brief proceeding. Manhattan Assistant District Attorney Melissa Mourges didn't disclose the specific charge or charges, which is typical in Manhattan at this stage of the prosecution. Juarez was arraigned earlier this month on a charge of mur- der, one of the few offenses with no statute of limitations in New York state. The child's body was found in 1991 in a cooler alongside a Manhattan highway. Juarez would have been about 30 at the time. Afterward, detectives nicknamed the then-unidenti- fied child "Baby Hope," helped arrange her burial and paid for her headstone. Police marked the 22nd anniversary of the discovery of her body by putting up fli- ers and announcing a $12,000 reward for information. A tip then finally led investigators to her name - Anjelica Castillo - and to Juarez's arrest this month. Police and prosecutors say Juarez confessed to sexually abusing and suffocating Anjeli- ca. At the time, the girl was liv- ing with his sister. The sister has since died. Juarez later told newspapers that the girl died accidentally and that he only helped his sis- ter dispose of her body. He said detectives pressured him into saying he killed her. His lawyer, Michael Croce, has underscored that Juarez's statements to authorities came after about 12 hours of interro- gation and that prosecutors have yet to disclose whether any DNA or other physical evidence ties him to the girl's death. "I don't trust any statements that were made, by any individu- al, after being in custody for such an extended period of time," Croce said after court Tuesday. Juarez is due back in court Environmental group supports candidate's parks preservation work By MATT JACKONEN Daily News Reporter After interviewing the three candidates for the seat on City Council, the Sierra Club, a well- known national environmental conservation group, announced their support for independent candidate and current Council- member Jane Lumm (I-Ward 2). James 'D'Amour, political chair of the Sierra Club Huron Valley Group, said in a statement that Lumm's beliefs have clashed with the club's in the past, but her current work and record make her a good choice for the organization. "TTrtrle rvrtoti community has earned her our continued endorsement, on the issue of parklands protection in particular," D'Amour said. "She has been earnestly cooperative and wanting to work with us on all of our issues, from parks protection, to the Pall-Gelman plume, to alternative energy, and shares our concerns on new challenges such as the threat of hydrofracking in the Ann Arbor area." The Sierra Club backed Lumm in her 2011 campaign to rejoin city council after giving up her seat in 1998. The club chose not to endorse her then because of her opposition to some aspects of their greenbelt work. Lumm said she supported parts of efforts to improve the green- belt, but did notwholly agree with their use of funds in the purchas- es. Specifically, she did not want Ann Arbor to have to fund pur- chases made outside the city. dT h b mh nP oa A-7A.xP one of the reasons she garnered the group's support this time around was because of her sup- port of conserving parks. "Over the course of this recent tenure, I sponsored a resolution to place on the ballot a charter amendment requiring voting approval before parkland could be permanently repurposed," Lumm said. "It didn't pass, but I indicated that I intend to bring thatback again. If I'm re-elected, I think there will be sufficient support on council." Apart from park conservation, Lumm said upkeep of the Huron River and managing creek sheds are other important environ- mental issues facingthe city. Lumm joins the ranks of other councilmembers backed by the Sierra Club, including Mike Anglin (D-Ward 5), Stephen Kunselman (D-Ward 3) and newly elected Jack Eaton (D- Ward 4), who will take his seat n nirl thi Nnv ba 4 I XTn- ')7 Nov. at.

Like us on Facebook: FACEBOOK.COM/ MICHIGANDAILY arrested for lying about past conviction CHICAGO (AP) - An Arab- Americancommunity activist from the Chicago suburbs was arrested Tuesday on immigration charges for allegedly lying about her con- viction for a deadly bombing more than 40 years ago in Israel. RasmiehYousef Odeh, 66,spent a decade in an Israeli prison for her involvement in a 1969 attack that involved bombs planted at a crowded Jerusalem supermarket and a British consulate, accord- ing to a federal indictment. Only one bomb - one of two placed at the supermarket - exploded, kill- ing the two people and wounding several others. Israeli authorities have saidthe attacks were planned by the Popular Front for the Lib- An Israeli military court sen- tenced Odeh to life in prison in1970, but she was released10 years later in a prisoner exchange with the Popu- lar Front. Israel released 76 prison- ers in exchange for antIsraeli soldier captured in Lebanon, according to Odeh'sindictment. But U.S. authorities accuse Odeh of failing to mention her conviction and time in prison on immigration papers when she came to the U.S. from Jordan in 1995 and before she became a naturalized U.S. citizen in 2004, the indictment says. Odeh was arrested Tuesday morning at her home in Ever- green Park, just southwest of Chicago, according to prosecu- tors. She moved to the Chicago area shortly after gaining citi- zenship in Detroit in 2004, said Khaalid Walls, a spokesman for U.S. Immigration and Customs Her defense attorney James Fennerty said Odeh has been a close friend of his for years and he never discussed her conviction in Israel or the 10 years she spent in prison. "I never really asked her," he said. "She's one of the nicest peo- ple. ... She's always caring. She's not a threat to anyone." Odeh works as an associate director at the Arab American Action Network, a Chicago-area nonprofit group that advocates for new immigrants and tries to combat anti-Muslim and anti- Arab prejudice, according to its director, Hatem Abudayyeh. According to the network's website, Odeh has a law degree and has worked as a lawyer. It says one of her focuses has been working with domestic-violence groups and addressing various women's issues.
