CHARLOTTE, N.C. —
Prosecutors said federal agents aren't the only ones who used surveillance techniques. They said Centrilla Leach, who was Cureton's girlfriend, followed Debbie London and even took pictures of her when she attended a hearing in the robbery case.
Family members packed the small courtroom during the hearings and mouthed, "I love you" to the suspects. Outside, Ellen Durham, a friend of Randall Hankins' mother said she wasn't sure what to make of the allegations.
"The truth will come out," Durham said. "Whatever it is."
Each of the defendants whose bond was denied pleaded not guilty and asked for a jury trial.
One defendant, Nehemijel Houston, had his case continued until later in the week.
