A grand jury indicted Robert Shell yesterday afternoon on nine charges, including felony homicide, defilement of a dead human body, forcible sodomy and distribution of drugs. The 56-year-old photographer had already been charged with object sexual penetration, in connection with the death of his model and assistant, Marion Franklin of North Carolina. Police found the 19-year-old model dead in Shell's studio June 3rd. The prosecution will NOT release results of an autopsy. Franklin's family released a statement yesterday, saying Shell was a much older man who took advantage of a young girl's desire to better herself - and for that there must be justice.

Last night, Lynchburg state senator Steve Newman chaired a malpractice reform summit at Virginia Baptist Hospital.
Dozens of doctors, employers, attorneys and insurance agents talked about what to do about the problem.
Some local physicians say they're seeing more doctors retire or refuse to enter specialized fields because of the rising costs of malpractice insurance.
Newman says consumers are suffering as well.

Newman says he hopes to avoid crises like what have happened in other states where doctors have staged strikes and walkouts in protest of insurance rates.
He also downplays the importance of the issue to his re-election campaign.
Finance reports show that more than fifty doctors and medical groups have donated over 27-thousand dollars to his campaign since last summer.
Newman says most of those donors have given to his previous campaigns and that last night's summit was "not" about politics.
