Danny Escobedo was held on charges of attempted murder, 21 years after the Supreme Court reversed an earlier murder conviction in a landmark ruling that established suspects’ rights to consult an attorney. Police in Chicago said that no bond or hearing had been set for Escobedo, 47, who turned himself in to police after learning that he was a suspect in a shooting outside a South Side bar last week. Escobedo had been free on $50,000 bond pending appeal of a 1984 conviction. The unemployed ex-convict was sentenced last October to 12 years for taking indecent liberties with a 13-year-old girl.
