The Youngstown teenager accused of brutally murdering an elderly woman in a church parking lot late last month will appear in court today (Monday), along with his mother and father.

Jamar Houser, 18, is scheduled to appear for a preliminary hearing. He's accused of the murder and robbery of Angeline Fimognari, 80. Police believe Houser robbed, shot and killed Fimognari as she was leaving St. Dominic's Church in Youngstown.

However, Jamar's parents are now facing charges in connection with the case as well. On Friday, John Houser and Francis Cianciola were arrested and charged with retaliation against a witness. They are set to be arraigned today. (Monday)

Jamar Houser remains in jail on a $3-million bond.

His parents face a third-degree felony, which could carry a possible 1-to-5 year prison sentence.

blaze07, you again show you are a racist and stupid all in one posting. It's the Grand CANYON, not CANNON. Maybe you need to brush up on your spelling and check your figures for crime in ANY city, or cannon as you call it. Good thing nothing is left up to you...

WHATS WRONG WITH AMERICA IS ALL AMERICAN WHITE KIDS THAT KILL THEIR PARENTS. SHOOT UP SCHOOLS, AND KILL THEM SELVES. IF A 12 YEAR OLD BLACK BOY KILLED HIS STEP MOTHER, WHO WAS NINE MONTHS PREGNANT, GOT UP AND WENT TO SCHOOL LIKE IT WASNT NOTHING, THEY WOULD BRING THE ELECTRIC CHAIR TO HIS HOUSE. WHATS WRONG AMERICA IS COCASIONS TRYING TO ACT BLACK, AND AFRICA AMERICANS TRYING TO ACT WHITE. BUT WHEN THEY COMMIT A CRIME THEY FIND OUT HOW BLACK THEY ARE. WHATS WRONG WITH AMERICA WOMEN HAVE TO WORK, BE IT A JOB OR WORK FOR THEIR WELFARE CHECK AND THE KIDS HAVING TO RAISE THEIR SELVES. WHATS WRONG WITH AMERICA IS THE RICH GETTING RICHER, THE GREEDY GETTING GREEDIER, AND THE NEEDEY GETTING NEEDER. THATS WHAT WRONG WITH AMERICA. BLACK, WHITE, PURPLE, OR BLUE AND YELLOW STRIPS WHERE ALL GOING THREW IT AND WE'VE MADE HISTORY BARACK OBAMAS IN THE WHITE HOUSE. AND THEY STILL DNT LET HIM FORGET HE'S AFRICAN AMERICAN...
