Charges upgraded against bodybuilding duo in Las Vegas slaying
Things go from bad to worse as more details are confirmed and continue to come out. Excerpt taken from the Las Vegas Sun report….
Neither Titus nor Ryan was asked Wednesday to enter a plea to the amended complaint. They remained shackled to other Clark County jail inmates as they sat two rows apart.
Titus’ rippling arm muscles stretched the fabric of his blue jail uniform. He offered a one-word reply when he and Ryan stood and Las Vegas Justice of the Peace Joe M. Bonaventure asked each if they understood the charges.
“Absolutely,” Titus said.
“Yes, sir,” Ryan said.
Daskas declined Wednesday to describe a motive for the slaying. The complaint accuses Titus and Ryan of using a Taser stun gun, administering morphine or a related drug, and asphyxiating or suffocating James with a fabric or wire around her neck.
Their lawyers have maintained Titus and Ryan are innocent of the charges.
