Bail Extended for Homeowner Appealing Conviction in Racially Charged Shooting
A black New York homeowner whose conviction for manslaughter and gun possession was upheld last week by an appeals court won a reprieve Wednesday from entering prison. John H. White had received a two-to-four-year prison term for fatally shooting a white teen who had arrived at White's home with four other teens to challenge White's 19-year-old son to a fight.
