Teen charged in fatal shooting of girl, 14, in Back of the Yards neighborhood

Martinez’s court-appointed attorney, Courtney Smallwood, argued against denying bail, saying her client didn’t make any admissions to police after his arrest, adding that his statement claiming to have shot a girl wasn’t anywhere in police paperwork. “Presumably, if my client had made admissions, that would be an important fact that you would want to highlight in a report,” she argued.
