"The family of a senior couple from Queens murdered in cold blood last month wept profusely in court on Tuesday as prosecutors detailed the horrific way their alleged killer took their loved ones' lives. Assistant District Attorney John Esposito unraveled a massive 50-count indictment to Judge Kenneth Holder on Oct. 14. Accused murderer Jamel McGriff, 42, stood in silence with his hands handcuffed behind his back after pleading not guilty alongside his attorney Michelle Benoit."
"Although McGriff refuted charges that included 13 counts of murder, which could land him in prison for life without the possibility of parole, Esposito said he had already confessed to police last month on camera. I'll admit it, I killed them. I don't give a fuck. I killed them. I burnt those ni**as. Don't matter to me, McGriff allegedly told cops when he was arrested in Times Square on Sept. 10."
A 50-count indictment was presented to Judge Kenneth Holder on Oct. 14 charging Jamel McGriff, 42, in the Sept. 8 killings of Frank Olton, 76, and Maureen Olton, 77. McGriff pleaded not guilty while restrained in court. Prosecutors allege the double murder was motivated by greed but say the victims could have been anyone encountered that day. McGriff allegedly confessed on camera and used profane, racist language when arrested in Times Square on Sept. 10. Surveillance footage reportedly shows McGriff stalking the Bellerose neighborhood, attempting a ruse at another home, then engaging and entering Frank Olton’s yard.
