Charges come day after missing child’s body found

While the FBI continues to piece together this case, construction workers who have been roofing next door may be key witnesses in the investigation.
Anthony Gardner, a contractor says, "On Wednesday we heard a lot of arguing. I didn't think much of it; I wish I would have now."
He says other crew members smelled something burning last Thursday. They said it smelled different, like flesh. They have been interviewed by investigators several times.

Federal courts vs state courts: What gets tried where
By SUSAN FIELD
Posted: 09/22/12 08:03 pm
Anthony Bennett was in enough trouble before he was ordered last week to stand trial for allegedly assaulting a corrections officer.
Bennett, who has been in the Bay County Jail since his arrest for suspected child abuse in June, is accused of assaulting 4-year-old Carnel Chamberlain, whose remains were found under the porch of the home in Isabella County where Bennett lived with the boy’s mother.
Not yet charged in Carnel’s death, Bennett was indicted by a federal grand jury in U.S. District Court in Bay City.

Anthony Bennett, man charged with assaulting deceased 4-year-old Carnel Chamberlain, scheduled for federal and state trials on the same day
By Cole Waterman | cwaterma@mlive.com The Bay City Times
on October 15, 2012 at 1:00 PM, updated October 15, 2012 at 1:04 PM
BAY CITY, MI — Anthony M. Bennett, the Mount Pleasant man charged with abusing 4-year-old Carnel Chamberlain a month before his remains were discovered, has state and federal trials before him, but the question is which will happen first.
In federal court, the 20-year-old Bennett is to go to trial on Nov. 27 on a charge of assault resulting in substantial bodily injury to a child younger than 16, a five-year felony. On the state level, Bennett is scheduled to face a trial in Bay County Circuit Court on the same day on two counts each of assaulting a prison employee and assaulting, resisting or obstructing police and one count of malicious destruction of property between $200 and $1,000.
“I would imagine the federal case would proceed first,” said Bay County Prosecutor Kurt C. Asbury.

Bennett is charged with first-degree murder, assault of a child, assault with a dangerous weapon, animal cruelty and witness tampering.

Bennett was charged with an earlier assault on the boy, a key step that kept him in custody while authorities developed the murder case against him. The FBI and federal prosecutors investigate crimes committed on American Indian land.
"The tribal community has waited for quite some time for this to occur, and now we can begin our journey toward justice," Tribal Council member Louanna Bruner said.

Anthony Bennett, charged with first-degree murder in death of 4-year-old, to have plea hearing

BAY CITY, MI — The Mount Pleasant man charged federally with killing a 4-year-old boy has a day to decide whether or not he’ll take a plea.
U.S. District Magistrate Judge Charles E. Binder is to preside over a plea hearing for Anthony M. Bennett at 11 a.m. on Thursday, March 21, at the federal courthouse in downtown Bay City. Bennett, a member of the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe who turned 21 on Monday, March 11, is charged with seven counts — first-degree murder, assault resulting in substantial bodily injury, assault within special maritime or territorial jurisdiction, assault with a dangerous weapon, animal cruelty and two counts of tampering with a witness, victim or informant.
The hearing does not mean Bennett is entering a guilty or contest plea, just that it is the last possible day for him to enter such a plea before the case goes to trial. The Times has been unable to contact federal prosecutors or defense attorney Anthony T. Chambers to determine the likelihood of Bennett entering a plea or if a plea offer has been made.

One year later: Carnel Chamberlain's family waits for remains, plants memorial tree
Posted: Jun 21, 2013 10:31 PM CDT
Updated: Jun 21, 2013 10:43 PM CDT
By Andrew Keller, Multimedia Journalist
MT. PLEASANT, MI (WNEM) - The murder scene is now an empty lot. The porch and home that hid Carnel Chamberlain's remains for a week are gone. But the memory of the four-year-old won't soon be forgotten.
"As we held hands around this tree, this is all we got right now. This is all we can have right now," said Kevin Chamberlain, a member of Carnel's family.
Friday, a tree planted will help carry on his Carnel's memory. The Red Oak will be planted on this exact spot with the exact soil that covered Carnel's body. The Red Oak is expected to grow to be about 80' tall, and the family says as it matures, so does Carnel in spirit.

Friday, a tree planted will help carry on his Carnel's memory. The Red Oak will be planted on this exact spot with the exact soil that covered Carnel's body. The Red Oak is expected to grow to be about 80' tall, and the family says as it matures, so does Carnel in spirit.

Man charged with death of boy, 4, on Indian reservation wants to move trial
6:19 AM, July 19, 2013
Associated Press
A man charged with killing a 4-year-old boy on an Indian reservation in central Michigan wants to move his trial to federal court in Detroit.
An attorney for Anthony Bennett says there's been too much negative publicity about the case. John Shea says Bennett is unlikely to get a fair jury in Bay City federal court because the public could be "poisoned" against him.
~Snipped~
Bennett's trial is scheduled for January. It's not known when Judge Thomas Ludington will rule on the request to move it.

Re: Carnel Chamberlain -- Found Deceased 6/28/12
I'm sorry but Detroit filed Bankruptcy, so how are they going to afford a trial like this? I just heard it cost the city of Sanford around $35,000 just to put up the jury for GZ's trial. If they have to sequester this jury, they will be fed PB&J sammiches.

Prosecutors oppose moving Anthony Bennett trial

Federal prosecutors say there’s no need to move the trial of the man accused of killing a 4-year-old Mt. Pleasant boy in 2012.
The attorney for Anthony Michael Bennett argued in court documents that there’s been too much negative publicity about the case. Bennett, 21, is charged with killing Carnel Chamberlain, whose burned remains were found buried last summer outside the boy’s home on Tomah Road on the Isabella Reservation.
Lawyer John Shea of Ann Arbor says Bennett is unlikely to get a fair jury in Bay City federal court because the public could be “poisoned” against him. Shea asked U.S. District Judge Thomas Ludington to move the case to Detroit.

Judge to decide on Bennett change of venue

A federal judge will determine whether an Isabella County man facing a murder charge will be tried in Bay City or another location.
United States District Judge Thomas L. Ludington cancelled a hearing that was set for Tuesday in Bay City to hear prosecutors and Anthony Bennett’s defense attorney argue their cases.
Ludington said legal paperwork filed by assistant U.S. attorneys Roy Kranz and Craig Wininger, and Bennett’s Ann Arbor-based defense attorney, John Shea, were sufficient for him to make a decision.

Federal judge rules Anthony Bennett, charged in 4-year-old's death, to face trial in Bay City
Sept 4, 2013
"Nowhere among the media sources Bennett identifies, although not containing glowing reports of his contributions to society, is there blatantly prejudicial 'evidence of the smoking-gun variety,'" Ludington's opinion states. "The Court is confident individuals in the Northern Division are capable of impartially assessing the evidence to be presented in this case. An impartial jury of 12 can be found among the available 866,000 individuals."

Bennett's lawyer wants murder charge dropped, calls it 'unconstitutionally vague'
by Anne Cook

BAY CITY -- The lawyer for Anthony Bennett, the Isabella County man accused of killing 4-year-old Carnel Chamberlain wants the murder charge dropped.
Bennett's attorney, John Shea, filed a motion seeking dismissal of the charge claiming the grand jury indictment is "unconstitutionally vague" and that it violates Bennett's due process right to "adequate notice as to what constitutes the offense."
According to Shea, the indictment against Bennett alleges three different theories of first-degree murder: that it was premeditated, that it was allegedly committed while Bennett was abusing the child, which makes it felony murder, and that it was committed as a part of a pattern of prior assault.
Shea said he is challenging the third theory.

Prosecutor answers Bennett motion
By SUSAN FIELD, The Morning Sun

An Isabella County man accused of killing a 4-year-old boy last year should stand trial despite his attorney trying to get a murder charge dropped, a prosecutor said.
In his response to John Shea’s motion asking for U.S. District Judge Thomas L. Ludington to drop the murder charge against Anthony Bennett, Assistant U.S. attorneys Roy Kranz and Craig F. Wininger argued that federal murder law prohibits the unlawful killing of another “with malice aforethought.”
~Snipped~
A hearing on the defense motion is set to be argued Nov. 18 at 9:30 a.m. in Ludington’s Bay City courtroom.
In their response to defense attorney John Shea’s motion, Kranz and Wininger said Shea’s assertion that the element of malice aforethought is not applied to felony murder is incorrect.
They also challenged a defense claim that the grand jury indictment against Bennett was vague.
“Murder in all its forms - premeditated murder, second-degree murder, felony murder and ‘misdemeanor murder’ - requires malice aforethought,” the prosecutors said in their response. “Malice, however, does not require proof of an intent to kill.

Re: Carnel Chamberlain -- Found Deceased 6/28/12
This is full of info.
Anthony Bennett, charged in death of 4 year old, has jail-assault trial postponed in Bay County
November 19, 2013
"BAY CITY, MI — Rather than proceed to trial on charges of assaulting Bay County jail employees while being held on federal charges related to the slaying of his girlfriend's son, a Mount Pleasant man is likely to accept a plea offer. "
"Bennett is charged with two counts each of assaulting a jail or prison employee, a five-year felony, and assaulting, resisting or obstructing police, a two-year felony, plus one count of malicious destruction of a building between $200 and $1,000."
" In connection with Carnel’s death, Bennett is charged federally with first-degree murder, assault resulting in substantial bodily injury and assault within special maritime or territorial jurisdiction. He is also charged federally with assault with a dangerous weapon, animal cruelty and two counts of tampering with a witness, victim or informant in connection with conduct prosecutors say occurred against Jaimee Chamberlain and others."
