Four social workers convicted of fraud
PHILADELPHIA — Four social workers were convicted Wednesday in a fraud case stemming from the starvation death of a disabled Philadelphia teenager whose emaciated body was found with maggot-infested bedsores.
A federal jury in Philadelphia convicted the employees of now-defunct MultiEthnic Behavioral Health Inc., which was accused of defrauding the city of millions of dollars by not visiting needy families and then covering that up with false paperwork.
Prosecutors say the firm submitted paperwork for visits that were never made after 14-year-old Danieal Kelly's body was found in 2006. Officials said Kelly, who had cerebral palsy, weighed only 42 pounds at the time of her death, less than half the weight of an average girl her age.
All four defendants were convicted of conspiracy, wire fraud and lying to federal agents, and company co-founders Mickal Kamuvaka, 60, and Solomon Manamela, 52, were convicted of all health care fraud counts. Kamuvaka still faces trial on a charge of involuntary manslaughter in
Kelly's death.
Julius Juma Murray, 52, the caseworker assigned to the Kelly family, and Miriam Coulebaly, 41, were each also convicted of three health care fraud counts but acquitted of three others. Murray also faces a manslaughter trial and is being held as a trial approaches this month on federal immigration charges.
Kelly's mother, Andrea, is serving 20 to 40 years in prison after pleading guilty to third-degree murder.
The four are scheduled for sentencing in June.

Coffee shop risqué display can stay
AURORA, Colo. — Officials said a bikini and the First Amendment provide enough coverage for a model advertising a suburban Denver coffee shop called Perky Cups.
Aurora City Council member Molly Markert called the picture on the 10-by-20-foot banner "degrading to women,"but she says it's legal.Markert said she had city employees measure the banner, and it conforms with city size restrictions.
Robert Rogers, a city attorney, said the content is protected by the First Amendment.
Perky Cups owner Jason Bernal said people have come into the shop to complain, but one stayed to buy a burrito and coffee.
He said the sign has been great for business but he's not sure how long he'll leave it because of the complaints.
He said he wanted to be a good neighbor.
